Viva Pinochet!
Yesterday General Augusto Pinochet died at the age of 91. (BBC article) I never met the man, nor am I any way connected to Chile. Yet I admire his resolve and daring. He stood up to Communism and the Soviet Russian empire. He did this at a time, when no one except the superpowers dared…

Adjusting to Easy Schedule
I am not good at adjustments. The switch from a super-busy, near-hyper-kinetic schedule to a “normal” lighter schedule keeps on throwing me off. Hence the lack of updates since Friday. Yesterday was the great chill day. Today was the great after-chill day. Meaning, I did not get too much done when it comes to assignments…

Chillin’ and Dreamin’
Elation!!! I finished work for yet another course, Business of Computing, and an assignment for the Foundations of Research course. So all the work for my Computer Science courses out the way, I can concentrate on the assignments for my two other courses. Staying up all night, sure wore me out but nothing a make-up…

Groogy Weather, Groggy Me
Greetings again, and sorry about missing two day of updates. Dealing with stress, putting up with administrative nonsense, writing assignments, attempting to dance around illness and living with the sudden wacky cold-wet weather, puts me in a mood where I rather not even poke my nose from under the blanket. On the bright side, everything…

Gee… I Feel like a Tree
No I mean it. I feel like a tree, and everybody wants a piece of me. Turns out that for all my well made plans, all of my last assignments happen to be group endeavours. And even with my best laid plans, it seems that the meeting times for my groups coalesced into a single…

Quiet Morning
This morning seems so quiet. The lack of any real sounds, with the notable exception of the wind, make everything seem so un-alive. Its quite disquieting actually. The only real sound (other than the typing of keys) is the sound of mental lemmings, walking around. That my friend, is the sound of writer’s block. Coming…

Panic Supression and Firefighting
Day 3 of Hell week #1. At least the security assignment is out of the way. I wish I could say the same about the library research assignments. Moral of the story: Don’t take too many assignment/paper courses in one term, and verify that the courses assignments are before the frigging midterm comes. Well too…

Hell Week
Sigh… so many assignments all due this week. And next week. And then it is over. I feel excited, anxious and tired just thinking about it. These next two weeks will be hellish. But if I make it… I will regain my sanity. Why I am blogging this… right now… I guess… I don’t know.…

Article A2 Done
Relief! I managed to edit that article that kept on bugging me all weekend. The article deals with a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. I managed to bring it down to a 5 page rather then a rambling 10 page one. That leaves me with 5 more articles to write and edit for my professional…

Sleepless Night
I meet with my good friend Dima today. While the meeting itself, was nothing new, it sort of got me thinking. Maybe my envy speaks here, since he has a nice house, car, girlfriend and finishes school this semester. I have one more semester to slave through. Yes, Sara was there too. What got me…
