First of all, I need to apologize to everyone for not having kept in contact. It's entirely my fault: I should have realized that starting at university would impact my life to the degree that it did, and I should have planned accordingly to minimize the effects.
I suppose I should explain my absence. I was accepted to Tokyo University and I've been spending my time adjusting to the rigors of studies and life in the EEIC program here. There's a lot more freedom to do what I want, but the difficulty is on a much higher level than what I was used to in high school. I also had to get used to not being the smartest kid anymore. I never expected there to be so many people in just one place as proficient as--or even more proficient than I am at computers. Still, this is the best possible environment for learning that I could wish for, and all of these brilliant minds could help me learn more about Digimon and the Digital World.
Also, to help my parents pay for my tuition, I've taken a job at the university's IT center. We have just had a huge crush of students having trouble hooking up to the university's networks, for the most part, as well as a number of other common problems that come at the beginning of the school year. What made matters worse was that Tokyo U had just finished upgrading the system, so there were a number of bugs to work out with that, too. Thankfully, though, things have mostly gotten settled, and now we're at a normal level of work.
The people I work with at the tech lab have welcomed me into their group very warmly. Eri-sempai, who will graduate this year, has sort of taken me under her wing. She's a little strange, but a nice person. When she came in for her shift the first day and saw me working, she called me a "cute little freshman." And the others have been accepting and understanding, too. I'm enjoying working here.
With all this insanity, I forgot my password to knowledge_v1, so, now that life has generally settled down enough for me to come back to the world of the living, I've had to make myself a new one. My email is still the same, and I'm sorry I've taken so long to get back to you, Tatum-san. And everyone else, too. But I'm back now, and I think I should be back to stay.
What have I missed in the meantime?
