Regrets

I'm going to be coming home from a ski trip this day, so it's unlikely that I would be able to make it. (t · c) buidhe 05:10, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As a student, I have classes that day that significantly overlap with the bulk of the event. ❤History Theorist❤ 23:14, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, I am sick and have laryngitis right now, so attending would be infeasible for me. CascadeUrbanite (talk) 09:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
