Paper is always strongest at the perforations.
Probably just another post in a squeezer of a space before I delve into a nitemare of a 2 weeks ahead. I am already envisaging 4 consecutive nite-outs next week. And I have no idea what it would do to my health. But I think that I am getting used to it.
Even as my grey cells and white matter are recharging from an intense brainstorming session (with myself) over a lab project, my mind is already into tomorrow.
Yes, tomorrow, where I have a pizza party thrown by the generous profs for the course for which I am doing a TA. What I am more happy about is that, unexceptional circumstances barring, I will continue to be a TA for the next semester also. So, atleast, funding wise, there should be no problem for me.
And I hope to be in a great condition by Saturday, when I have to wake up brite and early for the Trip to Houston. Lots of my friends coming this time. And I hope to make this trip worthwile.
But what is going to follow this Saturday, is hell on living lite for me. 1 exam on Wednesday, 2 major lab assignments due at very close times, 3 weeks hence, a written assignment due on Tuesday, a course project for which I have to start working on and another course project to be completed in a month, the topic of which I do not even know.. If I survive the next month, I will probably thank the gods that all the nite outs and sleepless hours I have spent have paid off atleast.
Just an example of how busy I am: I took the Negotiator (Frederic Forsyth) on the 14th of September. Now, I havent even completed 9 chapters out of the total 25.
Grad school is just tough. Especially at UT Austin.
Enough of me grumbling. I will make sure my next post is about something brighter.
And do note the time at which I am posting this.
