First, I was keeping up with this forum (and others) through Safari, which aggragates RSS feeds exactly how I wanted. But something made me go to Firefox a while back, and I regret it, because feed readers I was using weren't updating properly, and/or they were displaying things in a manner I couldn't decipher comfortably. So for weeks now, I've been missing tons and tons of your fine messages. I give up...going back to Safari. But now I have no clue what's going on with y'all.

Second, I'm still on vacation in France...which means my participation on anything Internet is inconsistent
![Wink :wink:](/static/images/forum_ro/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Third, I had the flu up until some days ago...more inconsistent participation, in everything, and things to catch up on.
Fourth, I just recently made the decision to go to grad school - am I insane or what

Fifth, I intend to keep studying Korean here while I am running around Arizona State University like a clueless chicken with its head cut off, but I may have to ease up on the pace. So I might not learn as fast as I'd like, or participate quite as intensively. But I'm still here! If you don't hear from me every so often at least, give me a good hard elbow-jab.
