Sorry, Everyone! #2 · 4:16pm Apr 1st, 2015
.... I know, i'm making ANOTHER excuse blogpost on why Sneeze the Day hasn't been finished yet. My workload from uni is piling up because my Easter Break (which for Thais is called 'Songkran') is coming up and my exams shortly after all within this month.
But the biggest obstacle for me however is: The Thai Military Conscription
I neither love nor want to fight for this country. I don't see the point of Thailand STILL having a military conscription in place. I'm studying in uni and YET they STILL want me to go to the army for TWO YEARS
Today, by the grace of Glorp, they just called me today telling me that I still need to go to the military recruitment station next week but that I won't have to actually go into the military
At least for two years. Once i'm done with uni (within 2 years), i'll have to go UNLESS I manage to fail the physical/mental next week then I may permanently be excused from military service
I still have a heavy workload this week though. Will try to see if the weekends will be free. Carlie seems to have the same predicament (... not the military part )
In any case, my sincere apologies to everyone!
Glad you're not joining the army, Toon
All that wasted time you could be using for more productive things!
Like writing clop fics

Okay... okay dude, I'm so very sorry, but... oh my god this is too much...
Okay, I swear I'm not laughing to mock you. It's just that... the combination of what kind of fic you've got going here and the obstacle you just mentioned is just hilarious to me somehow. It reminds me of the story of the band Tormentor. If you ever thought black metal is obnoxious now, imagine trying to play it in a communist state in the 80s. Anyways, they ended up having to go on hiatus because their guitarist had to go on mandatory military service (no combat, just training and stuff).
Now, in all seriousness, I know it's not a laughing matter. Conscription sucks, especially for someone trying to finish college. But hey, me just offering "pats on the back" won't help as much anyway. Besides, doesn't laughing at it mean you're not letting it ruin your mood?
That said: hang in there and have a laugh! You'll be fine.
