User blog:Leopardclawxx/School and What This Means for Leopard

Obvious title is obvious. But this is serious.

This year I go into Year 10 (=Grade 10 I've been told). 'So what?', you might think 'It's just school.'

That'll be where you're wrong.

You see, this year I start working towards my GCSE's. I don't know what they'll be equivalent to in America or elsewhere, but the point is this They are qualifications that are properly serious. Getting an A or A* in these could be the difference between me going to university or not. Yes, that important.

And I have a lot of pressure on me from my parents, cause I'm 'clever'. I don't think I am that clever, but that's not the point. I have to do well in these or I will be bitterly frustrated with myself forever.

So I'm cutting down wiki time, starting next Monday.

I go back on Wednesday, but the point still remains. School is more important than wiki. Wiki comes second. Leopard will not be able to do everything for you. You're gonna have to fend for yourselves.

What this will mean in non-rambling terms-

- NO Leopard on Mondays or Wednesdays. This will be in effect during ALL term time. I might not be on on other days, but you will not be seeing me then.

- NO asking me to do complicated stuff that is time consuming. AKA Charart and siggie requests are a no no. Nothing complicated, at all.

- Projects will not be kept in a state of constantness by me. Don't give me that look, we all know that I'm the one who does the approving and the critiques. OTHERS will have to do approving and critiques. I won't have the time.

- Less fanfic writing. This shouldn;t affect anyone too badly, I don't think anyone cares for me updating stuff.

I know this is harsh, but I need to focus this year. It's more important than ever.

Other things

Please, please nominate your stuff for spotlights. We are in desperate need of images especially.

Please, please, please be active in the projects. Seriously. P:I's gone and died in a hole now too; the aim of banning stuff was to INCREASE activity, not decrease it.

Drop me a talk page if you wanna talk about DW. Seriously, I am in need of a proper conversation with a Whovian who won't care if I can't speak for fangirling, and won't get annoyed for having an opinion.

That was an announcement from Leopard. Over and out ~
