   I just dropped my Summer 2024 semester class for #OMSCS so I can concentrate on the Summer of Protocols grant for adding E2EE to ActivityPub. I'm pretty bummed; this is my second semester in a row that I've had to drop out. But I just can't hold down a day job, work a full-time role on the grant, *and* do graduate school classes. It's just too much.

     I sat out Spring 2024 also to finish the ActivityPub book for O'Reilly Media. It's due June 1, so I thought I'd be able to start classes for the summer, but I guess fate got in the way.

     I've really loved the classes I've taken at OMSCS, and getting a master's degree in computer science feels really important to me. I don't like that other things are getting in the way, and I'm worried that busy-ness is going to keep me from doing something I really want.

     @evan The things getting in the way are pretty cool, though!

     @mlinksva thanks. There's actually a way to get credit for a "special project" but I did that in Fall 2023 for the first half of the O'Reilly book on ActivityPub. I'd rather use my remaining credits for learning new things.

     @evan if I ran a MSCS program, I would give you credit for adding E2EE to ActivityPub. I know, classes are different, probably complements to practical projects, no matter how innovative. Mostly want to leave a note of respect and thanks to you. Go Evan!
