Leave of Absence

I mentioned yesterday that I had taken a leave of absence from Conquer Club. It's true, but at the same time I did not realize how tough it would be. I've managed to stay away from posting in the forums except for once or twice in the staff forum when an answer was needed, but it is difficult not to participate in the other conversations.

There is no doubt in my mind that I definitely need to stay away so that the players will see that I was serious about my statement of leaving for two weeks, but after working on schoolwork all morning I need a break. Luckily, I had several games to take my turn in and I was able to satisfy myself with that for now.

I think as the days go by for the rest of this week I will be happy with myself that I made the decision to step away, and that it will be of a benefit in the long run. I know for a fact it has helped me out today as I read up on several things for a couple of finals, outlined some design code for myself, and wrote almost an entire paper (which I will finish tonight when I get home).

This is no place for lies though, and I will be excited to finish all of my other work so I can go back to my CC hobby, but for now, control is what I need, and I think I can manage it.
