Original post: @Mira during the most recent rollcall, you responded under the status of Non-WA. Provost Office would like to confirm on your current status if you intend to be Non-WA going forward and if the procedures to transfer to Non-WA has to be carried out. Alternatively, if it was a typo and you intended to remain as WA, do let us know.
Response received, will update the record of magisters as such, thanks!
@EvanRikuta Heya Aster, noticed that you left the TEP discord server, but we were in the midst of processing your application. Can you confirm if you would still like to participate in the magisterium?
With Delegate Elections season upon us, I’ll be taking a Leave of Absence to focus on my campaign. I trust that the other Deputies and the Provost will be able to manage without me.
Please be advised I am formally updating my status within the Magisterium to match my membership of the EPSA in accordance with §1.2 and §8.2.3 of the SOM.
This is intended to align my de jure status within the Magisterium with my current de facto status.
It is evident that in the last several weeks my mental health and executive function have been on a sharp and disturbing decline. This culminated in me begging Folly to file articles of removal (since I considered myself, quote, “too pussy” to resign - and had been told multiple times not to).
A motion such as this was deeply unpopular when discovered by the Magisters and was quickly withdrawn by Folly. To Folly, who has been covering for me the majority of the time (even while on LOA), I sincerely apologize. This has been bad, and I’ve treated you like shit. I will try to be better in the future.
The truth is that this has been going on for some time now. I find myself regularly unable to bring myself to get things done both inside and outside of the realm of the Magisterium. At least ten different people have told me to take a break. I have listened to none of them, stubbornly and erroneously believing I can move forth if I try.
Recent events have forced me to reconsider this position, especially as summer (in what, 3 days?) has proven no less stressful than the school year. I have noticed that I have become unpleasant to be around. Despite my best efforts, this is beginning to show in my time here in the East Pacific - the one place I was hoping it wouldn’t.
Having had enough, I’m going on LOA from 2025-06-08T21:41:00Z→2025-06-22T03:59:00Z. It is unhealthy for me to continue, but it is similarly unhealthy for me to throw the Magisterium into further chaos than it has already been thrown into. It is selfish and it is completely unnecessary.
I apologize for the trouble I’ve caused and hope to be back in service soon.
