Officially quiting cubing for 2 years...

Hello Everyone,

After the Melbourne Summer Open 2011 was my last time for cubing.

I am quiting cubing now for 2 years.

I need to concentrate on the most important years of school.

So yeah.

As for the competition, i got some goals achieved, sub-20 3x3, sub-10 Pyraminx, and a sub-6 2x2 Average.

So goodbye cubing!
 
I knew someone would link that thread. He's quitting so he doesn't care. Don't mean to be a dick but it was just unnecessary.


OP: Good luck in school. It's good that you have your priorities set. I hope you don't totally quit cubing and that you still do a few solves now and then.

I think that after a 5 month break it's a good time to resume cubing.

*looks around unconfortably*
 
I quit responding to people sending me private mails/messages starting like "Hi Steffan". Geez, if you want something from someone, have the decency to spell their name correctly.
 
I'm gonna pause till 9th April. Cubing is affecting my studies far more than I'd want it to. There's hardly a week left for my University Practicals and less than a month for my theory. I have yet to start studying and immunology, metabolisms, genetics, Recombinant DNA Technology and Analytical Techniques is going to take a REALLY long time to study...

So yeah, I've packed up all my cubes and given them to my mom to hide (I don't trust myself lol :P) till I'm done with my University exams which start on 31st March and end on 9th April. Damn... I need to do Alot of Biochemistry :(
 
I'm taking a break from cubing (and Speedsolving) until at /least/ the first of April. I have far too many things to do to worry about a useless hobby. School, scholarships, vocal solo, trumpet solo...

Meh. See you later.
 
I started cubing again after for not cubing for a long time because of the Big Cubes BC squared competition, and because I finally took the time to clean my cube and lube it so its awesome. I won't cube excessively wanting to get faster though. Just for fun.
 
I took a few weeks off from cubing recently, but came back to it because I have my first competition in less than a month. I'm just really hoping I can get back into it quick enough.
 
Well, I'm back here. I've been gone for a while, and I'm probably pretty forgotten. Maybe it was for the best; I don't know if I seemed noobish/arrogant/mean or anything, but I'll try to gauge it better this time.

Forgot a dozen OLLs, maybe, and I needed to fix up my 3bld, 4bld and PLL skills. I average about 21 seconds on the 3x3 now; it's a shame that now I have to clean off all of the rust before I can start getting good again. I don't even know how to solve anything higher than a 5x5 right now, so I'll probably be getting back to that when I get interested in very big cubes again.
 
I quit participating in "mini" forum competitions (e.g. Race to sub20, Race to sub4 2x2, etc) as opposed to bigger weekly forum competitions with more events and such. I couldn't really think of a better word than mini. I'm not really going to limit my practice or anything, I'm just going to stop participating in those threads. Too much of a hassle to go back and check all of the threads that I'm participating in.
