thesis + looming deadline = hysterisis

Got this from a line in terry pratchett's "small gods". Had to change it a bit from the original to reflect the current state of mind now.

2nd interim, and going downhill. It's a funny case of everyone's projects seem more interesting than my own..

birthday

19th was my birthday. woohoo. happy birthday to me.

chinese new year 2010

Chinese new year came and went like the wind. There was the usual preparations for it, the frantic buying, fitting of clothes, the hopes and aspirations for the new year. When the day finally comes, the whirlwind of visits made the days go by in a flash. Plus the non stop eating. And then again come next year, there will be the usual routines again. The same families, an occasional baby, new families, new packets. But things somehow are the same.

eating prata

I was eating prata yesterday morning when it struck me that using a fork and spoon may not be the most appropriate. Prata is usually eaten with the hand from what I've observed. So if i have to use a utensil to eat prata what would it be like?

some days

Ah thesis. Some days I feel that everything is fine and progressing while other days I feel that I'm going down a path of no return.

starting the semester

oh man. the semester starts in 2 hours time. It seems like this blog is becoming a milestone kind of thing. Logging down most things in life.

Looking forward to being a student for the very last time. Skiving off work, and just learning. Doing stuff without consequences since its all academic and theoretical. Not having to struggle with the forces of life. Hope this positive feeling can continue for quite some time until I'm depressed by thesis all over again.
