Hi, I am writing this for anyone who cares. I will be off of the Shard for a very long time. The Shard is taking a lot of my time at the moment and I can't seem to find a Study-Shard-Reading balance. I can't sacrifice my studies now for I am in 12th (In my country school stretches up to 12th then we go to college) and we have a centralised(Central Board of Secondary Education) examination which would then give me marks for my examination and those marks would be deciding my college.
I am rather good in studies, in the last centralised examination I got 98% which is top 1000 in India (i.e.->Top 1000 in 200k students). I can't compromise my study at any cost now as I have some lofty goals that I mean to achieve. One of them, which is further down the road is clearing an exam with 0.1% success rate. Online school has already hampered my studies, I can't mess anything more now. The college I want to join in has a cut off of 99.5%, so I must put the Shard down for a long while.
Keep in mind this does not decrease any of my love for Sanderson's books. WoR is still my favorite and I think it is not going to lose that position easily.
I would like to thank all of the Sharders that I met, all of you are awesome and thank you for letting me join you guys. I am a person who has 2 friends overall and meeting you guys letting me be the part of the conversation means the world to me.
Journey before destination, choose your journey while you still can or you will walk on a journey that you didn't choose.

I am from India. YES yes India is hard. OMG 98%? Good on you pal. I mean, wow that is so hard to get! My tenth boards are coming up and these exams will practically decide whether or not I get into a good college, or if i get on somewhere horrible. The college I have chosen has a lesser cutoff rate (of like only 92%) but f you get 92% you might not even get in at all. You have to get much higher (above 95%) to make sure that you can get in without any troubles.
I don't know if anybody will read this, but yes @Ookla the Lad, India is hard.
