Crazy times

I have practically no time to sit and breathe. Yet I felt like writing. Migrain attack Wednesday, night to finish problem set 5 Thursday, A sad demise of a dear one Friday , Lab and practise sessions Saturday-Sunday, Journal club presentation Monday, Lab meeting presentation Tuesday, Journal club presentation again Wednesday, Seminar presentation Thursday, Problem Set 6 due Friday, lab project lagging behind, dance choreography, music coordination, dance participations, making lab inventory, settling accounts, guilts of not keeping in touch with people...and to top it all up, disappointing my advisor today....really....I feel like a mess!

Still, there seems to be a positivity I havent felt before in such tough times. Something that pushes me to keep going, something that tells me to take it up as a challenge. I feel lucky to have some people with me through all this...

And well...life goes on...

A sudden gush of wind

Sometimes you just impulsively feel like doing something. Right now I felt that for writing a post. I don't know what I want to say, but it seems like there is loads...

Its been crazy of late - an 8.30 class every morning, a problem set due every week, a journal club and a lab meeting presentation, topped with three papers to read at the last moment before a seminar, mentoring an undergraduate, settling accounts, making a poster for a conference, getting some travel documents endorsed...and the list goes on.

I didn't sleep last night, I almost slept off right under the professor's nose in the seminar, I havent eaten lunch today, and I have a heap of an assignment to do. But amidst all this, I feel blissful...

I love my new apartment. I am remembering a friend's painting I saw yesterday which has filled me up with creative thoughts. I am in total awe of a friend who has been there through thick and thin and literally been my best friend. I feel absolutely happy about getting back a friendship with a dearest of dear friends. I feel closer to my roommate and have a new level of affection for her. I am dying to meet some of my most favourite people next week.

Basically as a friend's blog title reads, I'm lovin' it!!
