Yeah, I've been busying myself with another forum and school work. I've left the other forum though and I'm hoping to make a comeback here. As for what else I've been up to: right now I'm majoring in planetary science in one of (If not) THE BEST schools for the subject in my country. Hopefully by the time I graduate they will have a graduate program for planet sci. at my school.
How's everyone else been?
