Cornuelle's Law
Authority tends to assign jobs to those least able to do them.

Atleast I am managing to survive.

The last 2 weeks have been hellish. With my day extending from 8 am in the morning to 3 am, the next morning. There was one day, where I spent a total of 16 hours (from 10:30 am to 2:30 am) in the department). While all this may be bad, the worst is yet to come. I predict that my last month in this semester is going to create a heartburn for even the "Devil from down under"

But I am not going to bother you with all that. After all, past is past. And nobody can do anything to alter it.

The weather. Well, its approaching winter temperatures now. It has dropped very sharply in a couple of days. Yesterday, at 1pm, usually the hottest time of the day, it was freezing. A cold front mite have developed. Already, the single sweater which I bought (and which I thought would be enough) is now insufficient. The freezer seems warmer now.
The cold weather has also made it very difficult to walk home at 3 am in the morning, and to go jogging at 8 am.

I am looking forward to the week ahead. Already the TA work is slightly lighter. Though the powers-that-may-be (i.e. the profs) predict that it would become busy in a fortnite.


Apart from a mid-term exam for one of the courses, (Incidentally, I have not even opened the book for it. Quite unlike me), the course for which I am a TA has a pizza party for all the TA's and graders. (TA - Teaching Assistant, for the uneducated ;) ). And the trip to Houston next weekend.

I wanted to get a Sony DSC V1 before that. But I thought, it would be better to wait for thanksgiving, when the prices will fall down a lot. Besides, its just one month away.

Looking furthur ahead. I have another lab assignment starting next week (which means more 8am to 3am days) and also have to start working on a project due in a month and a half. I have no idea what I am going to do for it.

Guess I have my work cut out for me.
