To the Nerd Herd,

I'm just going to go right ahead and contradict my arts student persona and launch straight to the point. Due to personal reasons, I will no longer be joining you all on a regular basis. This decision has come about after much deliberation and it's with great regret that I am incapable of finding a legitimate alternative.

I want to thank you all for being so courteous, warm-hearted, witty and above all, patient and accepting, especially during GH3 and Halo sessions. Never in my life have I met such a dynamic group of people so tolerant of my imperfections, which range from obscene neuroticism, my impetuous creativity and limited sense of humour. These past four months have been nothing short of memorable and I want to thank you all for the memories.

In the meantime, I wish you all the best for your future endeavours. Make the most of every opportunity and strive to become the best you can possibly be. Continue to encourage each other to thrive on learning and small joys in life the way you encouraged me.

Whether it's on a train platform in two days or in court in two decades, until we meet again (or if we ever do)...

Bethany.
