Taking an arrow to the knee

My Skyrim days are over. After 16 hours of playing (spread over 2 weeks--I told you I wasn't much of a gamer!) and a paltry 6 achievements unlocked, I am officially retired. Real life has caught up with me, and while there are no frost trolls or dragons to be slain, there are theses groups to cattleprod and conference holds to breach. To my students, friends, and colleagues who have been so generous with their advice and guidance, thank you very much. It took a virtual village to raise this fledgling Dovahkiin and after all that mentorship she's still not sure she's getting all the spelling right. I imagine that, when summer rolls along, I will don my high elf persona and continue the journey. For now, though, I can say that I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
