Hey guys, it's me, Adi. I'm back with another blog, and this one is pretty important. My final exams (for 9th grade) is about to start from Sunday onwards. This means that I'll be quite busy, and I won't be able to use my laptop very often. This blog is supposed to give you a brief guide on when I'm taking a hiatus, and when I'm coming back. If you're a reader of my story/stories, or one of my friends, I suggest you read this to know when I'm going to disappear and when I make my grand entrance. (I need to stop considering myself majestic.) If you're in a hurry, just read the last section of the blog where I summarise everything.

Firstly, you should know that I go to school from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday being the weekends. My exams are starting on 9th June, Sunday; my school gave us all a break this week (June 2nd - June 8th, which from Sunday to Thursday) to prepare for our exams. Therefore, while I'm studying for my exams according to my schedule, I'm also trying to update my story and keep the chapters in draft. So far, I've only made one drafted chapter, and I hope to make at least two more. This way, even though I'll be busy with exams, I'll post one chapter each week to give my readers the fun they need. I'm also trying to talk to my friends and have fun this week before I take a break.

To be more clear, I'll be online till June 8th, Saturday. From the next day (Sunday), I'll be giving my exams. My exams begin on 9th June and end on 17th June (including the weekends). I won't come online on AFF, and even if I do, it's just to bookmark the new story updates that I'll have to read or reply to comments and feeds. I don't think I'll even be able to read everyone's feed-posts but I'll try.

Usually, I say that I'm taking a break due to exams but I still end up spending at least an hour on AFF. However, it's different this time. I'm genuinely scared this time because each exam is of 100 marks with chapters since the beginning of the year; to make things worse, I'm on my periods and studying is going to be difficult. Thankfully, I've already prepared from before which makes things a bit easier for now.

Look forward to sudden updates (probably on Saturday(s) because I'll stay online for longer), and I hope I won't disappoint my readers. As for my friends, I'm really going to miss you all even though it's only for two weeks. Once my exams are over, I'll be free - I'll be more active on AFF and perhaps I'll update my story twice a week. Further updates regarding my visit to my homecountry and time-zone issues will be discussed in another blog. For now, I hope I'm clear on my hiatus:

• Exams begin on June 9 and end on June 17.
• Break this week (June 2 till June 8) so I'll be online for a few days.
• Less chances of me coming online, but I'll try to reply to comments and feeds.
• Story updates from other authors will be bookmarked, so I apologise for delayed comments.
• 'By The Sea' will be updated on Saturday (or a bit later if I'm busy), and I'm also trying to keep chapters in draft during this break.

That's pretty much all I have to say. Sorry if this blog ended up being too long, but I wanted to clarify things. Plus, I'm bored and this is what I ended up doing. Dear readers, sorry about the break! I hope I don't disappoint you with short chapters! As for my wonderful friends, I'm gonna miss you! If any of you are giving exams too, good luck and do your best! Note that I'm posting this blog a bit early because I wanna talk to you all as much as I can while I'm still here (I'm not gonna die, what am I doing? Oof) and if any of my readers have any doubts or questions, feel free to ask me anything! <3

Bye! {=^-^=}
