So, what's up this month?

 

School is eating me alive! 

 

 

I did manage to see Kynwric this weekend, though! WHOO-HOO! 

Still at home on disability.  Maybe get neck brace off on 9/24.  Crossing my fingers.

getting a little burned out from work, i need to find something fun to do!!

A month in to the school year, the Middle Schoolers have not defeated me! And I think they might actually be learning something. Still trying to get more than a week at a time done on class plans.

 

Our local SCA event is 'next' weekend and I really don't want to have to try and do class plans the same weekend as an all-weekend event I'm helping run. Thankfully the week 'after' is short because of parent teacher conferences (I'm taking Monday off to recuperate after the event...and we get Friday off!)

 

Scouts just took off full swing, but thankfully despite some chaos in the leadership (the person who was taking over who I was supposed to just be 'assisting' ended up changing Packs and leaving the area.... so I almost ended up in charge without the time to do so. Did not end up happening. Much relieved.) 

Neck brace is off!!!!!

I'm supposed to be working right now.

I have today off because this week was Parent Teacher Conferences (my first time as a teacher ever dealing with parents. Yay for successful meetings!) 

So, I am very new to DM and trying to figure out what these social communities are about. Little help?

Hey, Abugar! The communities are groups of folks who are loosely based on their respective groups from the books that hang out online. Some groups have a focus, like the artists and crafters.

 

In terms of the Kin, we are a very small group of people who hang out, participate in monthly themes (this month is "random things"), and of focus is friendship and stress free enjoyment of DM.

 

That probably didn't help much. The best way to figure them out is to hang out for a bit and get comfortable. I'd recommend one of the smaller groups until you get familiar with how they work so you don't get overwhelmed. The Kin, the Aiel, and the Ogier are all smaller groups, and any of them would make a great place to start. I'm sure you imagine, I'm kinda partial to the Kin, hehehe.

 

Welcome to DM!

U4ea, thank you!

 

I feel like a bad WoT fan. I'm currently reading Lord of Chaos and I don't get "The Kin" reference. So, either I haven't been exposed to them yet, or I have and forgot. Both are possible and I would not be shocked to learn that I simply forgot about it.

 

I think I'll hang out with the Kin for a bit and maybe check out the Aiel too.

 

Again, thanks for the explanation. I look forward to participating more in the forums.

Welcome, Abugar!! I'm happy to see you in the Kin.

I'm also being eaten alive by school... And all of the other things that fill the "real world"

No worries, you haven't met them, yet. It's coming, though! Start yourself a thread so we can celebrate your arrival!

 

I feel like *&%#%*+(+*%$ tonight. :(
