As the title says, this is an apology to the organizers. I thought I would have the time to work on this project unimpeded, but this semester's classes turned out to be a lot more involved than I expected, leaving m with little time to actively work on this contest. I also must say that even with such amazing prizes as motivation, i struggled to find enough motivation to use my limited free time to work on this. I know I won't meet the deadline for all the extra credit posts, but I will still post the final blog in time. Still, I felt I needed to say something about my absolutely minimal participation in this contest, so to the organizers, I'm sorry about not having participated actively enough in this contest as the other contestants have done, I'm sorry about having taken a potential spot for another participant, so I'm willing to return the participation kit once I'm done with the final blog. Thank you for having selected me as a participant, and again, I'm sorry for my minimal participation.
