Good morning, sir!

I'm sorry if I've been skipping thesis consultations. It's my fault for not approaching you since 5 May, due to health problems and simple forgetfulness. Since April, I've been struggling with chest pain, and being struck with the flu often made coughing hurt. It didn't help that I'm the stupid sort of worker who still pushed through an internship stint despite being sick, which hampered my productivity a bit.

As a result, I've only been chipping away at revisions of some of my older DriveTribe work and new original work (some of which are attached below) and why it's been tough to bolster my Chapter 2 (also linked below).

Fortunately, the overall vision never faded from me. I still wanted to build up a corpus that could best show my talents and breadth and depth of knowledge about cars and the die-cast miniatures hobby while still applying what I've learned so far to do literary work that weaves my style with those of my betters.

Again, I'm sorry for the radio silence. In its place, I'm more than willing to do weekly consultations on Fridays at 4:00 pm or until just before finals start for the colloquium, either online or on-campus.

Thank you.

Yours,
Mark Joseph I. Argoso
