The "I quit / pause / return / change / etc." thread

[waffle=ijm]

i return to seriously practicing again.

 

[uberCuber]

I never announced my break here to begin with :3, but I have returned from my four and a half day "school" trip, and will now continue practicing (bigcubes mostly).

 

[CUB3R01]

I have to quit cubing for a while With me it is either super-intense solving and no studying or super-intense studying and no cube solving. I must stick with the latter for now

 

[StachuK1992]

Bbl after finals.

 

[Escher]

Ya I quit solving etc. Will still finish off the super secret Woner-Kinneavy website but f*** the rest, I've wasted enough time.

 

[OMGitsSolved]

^^What?!

 

[eastamazonantidote]

I've been trying to cube more and more recently, but I just don't have the time. I need to do research and I have 2 full time jobs this summer (only one pays though). Maybe I'm a naive soon-to-be-high-school-graduate, but I just feel like working is more important. I really want to finish ZBLL but I really don't have the time. So, I will quit cubing for exactly one month, starting today. This way there's no pressure to get back to learning algs.

I quit 3x3 2H for a week because my arm is being stupid and am is hurting.

 

[ChrisBird]

I return.

 

[MrIndianTeen]

I return.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OMGitsSolved]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats just weird.
I'm on a 6 hour car ride to Charlottes for a NASCAR race.
I brought a cube and I will only solve ZZ on the way there and one the way back I will mix some Perus in there.

I'm taking a break. Not from cubing but from this forum. It's too distracting. What with exams, final projects, math olympiads (and a lil' cubing project ) coming up, I'll be really busy for a few months. I'm going to block this site and tell my parents to choose a password. See y'all in a couple (or more) months.

Decided to drop by, see where cubing has gone since 1/1/11. Lot of records seem to have broken.
In terms of math, I qualified for and competed at the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad, and the Asian Pacific MO. Didn't make it to International MO, but I didn't expect it either considering how much more experience some other qualifiers had. Also I was chosen to be a moderator (among other things) at the AoPS forums.
In terms of cubing, I don't speedsolve any more; for me, it is more entertaining to order new types of puzzles and figure them out (with inefficient but intuitive methods).
There were some health problems too that cleared up. And I'm going to University of Toronto in the fall for Math+Compsci majors.
There is a cubing project up and coming (not a speedsolving method), but I'm not giving it undivided attention at the moment.
Yeah... ok, I'll be back at the end of the summer.

I quit
Petrus for OH, because...

I change
To Roux for one handed, although the proper word is 'switch'

I return
To CFOP, and immediately quit again.

Then,
I pause
To look at my averages, and see that I have not practiced ZZ for a month, and also see that I'm very close to sub-15 with Roux. So finally...

I quit
Working hard on Roux, for a while at least. And...

I return
To practicing a bit of ZZ.

I quit 3x3 because i find big cubes more enjoyable
I pause to look back at 3x3
I return to cfop and realise im sub 20 =O
I change to petrus because cfop sucks
I pause because i got my V Cubes yesterday
I return to 3x3 to get fast at petrus again

then it starts again =P

 

[splinteh]

Cubing is starting to get boring... i feel like quitting

You could try exploring different puzzles.

 

[uberCuber]

I quit not knowing full EG-1.

 

[5BLD]

I pause to ask my parents if I can get a speed cube (saved up money), and they say no. Im not too bothered because I was kinda expecting that.
I return to practicing 4x4, and hoping that I can use the summer holidays as an excuse to get a speedcube, because my current cube keeps exploding. Nevertheless, 4x4 is actually quite fun So...
I quit doing 3x3 seriously for the moment. But of course I will do if not a little bit still.

 

[Khartaras]

I return (stopped since December '10) to cubing! Forgot a couple of the easier perms, but I still remember the V-Perm, the F-perm and the Gs. Quick AO5 is 36.21. Bad bad bad
