+## Preface
+Hello all! Welcome back to another status update! I realized recently that I 
+haven't been all that good about making monthly status updates, so I think for
+at least the rest of this academic year I'll be making termly status updates, 
+so one every 7 weeks. Hopefully this will lead to longer status updates with 
+more content.
+
+Now, on to the Fall Semester status update!
+
+## Status update
+As I write this, it's a day after my last final exams, and I'm sitting in the
+campus library on my service desk shift. Much of my open source contributions
+this semester have been to the [LNLDB](https://github.com/WPI-LNL/lnldb), which
+handles events, membership, and a whole bunch of other stuff for WPI Lens and
+Lights. That's a Django codebase, and I've contributed a few features:
+
+- Pronoun Support
+  - Allowed members to provide their personal pronouns on their profile pages
+- Email resources for new Crew Chiefs
+  - When a member is assigned as a Crew Chief for the first time, send some
+    extra resources in the email
+
+I also have some pull requests pending review:
+  
+- Position postings
+  - Lets executive board members post leadership roles to the active members
+- Cropping Officer photos
+  - Officer photos are currently inconsistently cropped, this lets them resize
+    as needed
+
+With the transition to college, among other things, I haven't had the time to 
+do much else. I started to work on adding a tag for GPG-signed commits to 
+git.sr.ht, but that hasn't gone anywhere.
+
+Speaking of git.sr.ht...
+
+## New code location
+I've deployed a production [sourcehut](https://sourcehut.org) instance to a new
+server, available at https://git.carathe.dev. I'm waiting on WPI ITS to unblock 
+that domain, but it shouldn't be too long. I've already thrown things up there,
+and that's where I'll put personal projects.
+
+That's all for this semester! Happy holidays, and see you in the new year :)
