I'm back on DU after a two-month hiatus. Ask me anything.
That is, if you actually even care or noticed. :P

1. So you think you can just waltz in here, after two months, and...
:hi: Why did you go away?

6. A combination of two reasons.
One, the trauma of the election made me decide to take a break away from politics after a while, and I didn't want to deal with the mood on DU in the aftermath.

And two, I'd been paying so much attention to the election that I didn't focus as much on my schoolwork as I should have. After the election, I focused all my energy on getting through the semester. (I'm a student at City College in San Francisco.)

5. "the exact same thing on the exact same day"?
Could you clarify? Do you mean you're also returning from hiatus today? Or were you returning from a hiatus that was brought on by a certain event on a particular day, like I was?

(And I'm sure most of you can guess what that particular event was. :evilfrown: )

12. I am returning from a hiatus, but not for a specific reason, really.
I just sort of snapped today and decided I needed to get my head back in the game.

4. what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
lol! I sometimes ask this question when DUer's invite questions...

You need to be a Monty Python fan to know the answer or know how to query Google...

Welcome back.

10. If anything, they've probably narrowed.....
...just because after the election, I retreated even further into the isolated bubble of being a college student trying to survive some truly painful calculus and physics courses.

And that probably won't get any better this coming semester, because I'll be continuing on with both of those courses AND taking a discrete math class as well. x(
