alright, update time… the Falcon got accepted at SPSU into Software Engineering, and I’m returning to charlotte next week and pretty much just commuting via AMTRAK to atlanta and back on thursday for orientation, but unless things there are lined up and wrapped up in a exquisitely nice package ready to go (and I mean, very seriously there would have to figuratively be a gold-paved road right to my seat in class) then I may still plan on putting things off till the spring, there is still much to be done at home (including a huge list of things to do for the parents and things to be done by the parents, etc. etc.) and a week’s notice of whether I’m attending fall classes or not is incredibly short notice, so there still stands a chance that I may not be gracing the servers with my presence until January or so on… but since it’s less far off and if I’ve got room to then I may just attend a lan or two 
peace, all.
