S2 Q&A: I need a break from this for a few weeks - I'll come back.

You can, and I'll leave the door open - I'll check in at [FOLLOW-UP-CADENCE] and again before your deadline. One honest note: application windows and status clocks keep moving while you pause, so if you're on OPT or another expiring status, let's set a resume date now rather than 'later'. Which week?
