So yeah, most of you caught on to our April Fool's joke. I was going to use it as an excuse to stay far away until after Greek Week and finals, but every time I sign on, there are more and more angry notes about us not being around so....

This is the official word that yes, we're not going anywhere, but please wait to yell at us until after May Ninth. Seriously.

To help you understand why I'm stressed out when I check on our contest, here is my schedule until May Ninth:

Week Five: May 4th through 9th:
May 4th: STUDY FOR FINALS!!!!!
May 5th: STUDY FOR FINALS!!!!!!
May 6th: Japanese final, Internship meeting
May 7th: Move out
May 8th: Move out
May 9th: Graduation, Teaching

Okay, now, seriously, seriously. STOP with the angry notes! I can't handle it anymore! I promise they will be delt with when I have finished school for the semester. I'm tired of playfully telling you to quit it. All those join notes filling up the inbox, fine, I'll get to them. But there's no reason to yell at me for "ignoring" you "without any regard to your time or a warning." I've warned you all plenty of times. I promise. So if you'll just give me this month without complaining, I'd appreciate it.

And stop sending your nasty notes. Being nasty won't make me pay attention to you any faster. Seriously. Draw pictures for the contest or something instead.

And yes, I'm not putting back up the header and footer until May 9th, so if you want to join, be proactive and get to the claim list/rules by going through old journals, thanks.
