Hi guys.

Recently, some things have been happening in my life. A brief period of inactivity was kicked off by Rowing camp and my hospitalization, a couple of commitments which I was unable to avoid.

I'm not going to mince words in this. It is with great regret that I have to tell you all I'll be leaving IO, at least in the capacity that I have come to use it (I might still float around).

My life, recently, has been picking up at a pace that I am barely able to follow. I have over a dozen and a half commitments to my school, extra curricular and charity organisations. I've got sports, award schemes, music, debating, mooting, community service; heck, I was just invited into the school's prestigious secret society for people who do too much crap. For the next couple of months in my life, I'm going to be waking up early and going to bed late with no time for video games, reading, watching television or, you know, anything leisurely.

It's a terrible feeling, that my life going so well means that I have to cut out the things I enjoy and love doing, such as IO.

Before I leave, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to Dave and, really, all of you. I was so flattered to receive a ministry as important as foreign and imperial affairs, and I have had so many great plans for it. I'm embarrassed and ashamed not to have put any of these into motion, and hope that my successor can do much better than I.

Thankyou all for my time on the Order. I've enjoyed it beyond belief, and I really feel like I got to know you all personally.

I hope that in the future (a couple of months, who knows) I'll be able to return.

Thanks for everything.

James.
