Very Busy and all in a Tizzy

So I got an apartment, I got a car and I got busy. That's right, grad school has started and based on what I have seen so far I am going to have no time for this 'blog. Which saddens me. Because I was really starting to enjoy this. Until now, I attempted to post approximately once a week. (I think it averaged out to something close to that. Most of my posts were between 5 and 10 days apart.) My philosophy is if I don't care about this 'blog neither will my readers. So I tried to produce periodic content. It wasn't easy for me. I can be a bit of a perfectionist and tend to revise the gehenom out of my writing. But I persevered and somehow came out with entries around the time of my self-imposed deadlines. Now it looks like once a week is going to be too much for me. There is just too much work for me to handle right now, without me placing more on myself. I am trying to get out of school as soon as I can and that means overloading. Overloading means I will have no time to eat, sleep or 'blog. I'm hoping that I will have time to keep shabbos. So what does this mean for you? It does not mean that I am going to stop blogging (rachmana l'tzlan). It means that I will probably be posting less frequently. I'm going to shoot for once a month. If I can do it more often, I definitely will but it looks like this is going to be a hard year. Next fall it should calm down a little. At that point, I will make an effort to bring it back to once a week. Until then, I hope you'll be patient with me. Thanks ;-) What can you do about it? Simply put, you can comment. Studies show that posters that receive replies are much more likely to post again. (I am not making this study up! It's true.) So if you like what you have been reading the last couple of months, do me a favor and reply. Even if it is a trivial response, such as "I agree" or "This line was very amusing/insightful/depressing to me." And while you are at it, tell a friend about my 'blog. Get him or her to read it. The more encouragement I get, the more likely I am to post again. It's in the statistics...
