Long Time No See?

Hey!

If you're still occasionally visiting this blog, I'd like you to know that I am alive. The absenteeism has a very good explanation: Tennis elbows.

For those who haven't heard of it before, it's an umbrella term that encompasses inflammations occurring in the hand/wrist/arm area. I first started noticing numbness in my arms while working in May or so. It developed into pain and I went to the doctor. He prescribed lots of rest for my arms, a feat that's not really fully doable within the subject I'm studying in college, IT.

This meant that I needed to prioritize. The arms could never fully rest, but I could use them less than I currently was. And that is how I put my hobbies on hold, web design included.

As of now my arms are doing splendidly. Not only am I happy that they've shown massive improvement over the past couple of months, even with the massive load of schoolwork assigned. I am also very proud of myself for sticking with my lack of hobbies. It's a lot harder to have less to do than you'd think. Especially things you love.

I am slowly getting back into things, hobby-wise. For now, a blog entry will do. I have another packed semester coming up ahead, which is a terribly good excuse for being half-absent here still. Especially since it's the last semester of my bachelor. One thing is for sure; it's good to be back.
