    good afternoon. the week’s almost over, a small consolation. met with my advisor today, discussed thesis matters. He seemed upbeat about it, and I feel the same. I intend on getting more done this week. We’re meeting again on Wed next week. This keeps me honest. The thesis will get finished. I’m hoping for more “yes” responses to my applications, but the last couple have been disheartening. I’m feeling much better now, thankfully, though. (more…)

    I had a dreadful cold/fever/perhaps flu starting from about Tuesday last week until the last couple of days, and for much of last week I was as the waking (or walking) dead.

Whether it proves to be true or not is yet to be seen, but in truth it’s somewhat irrelevant whether it is true or not — it is important mostly that it is plausible and can be argued for or against. nights are solitude and calmness, the remnants after my days of searching.

        These days my entries have been more fractured and less focused. Such is life. I do what I can to give a glimpse into my life, a snapshot if possible. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

        talk to me if you'd like to know something about me, or keep reading. I'm still a poor grad student and working on my PhD. I don't really know whether this will become a book anymore, but it's not wholly improbable.
