It IS true that timing is everything. Because if I wasn't so late in turning in my thesis (yes, finally did turn it in last week which means I'm now officially a phud student) I wouldnt have bumped into the varsity crew coach, and he wouldnt have convinced me to try out rowing, and I wouldn't be squirming in pain while writing this blog. Now, i just have to see how long I can stick with it :s

Also, on being late to practice one day, we were made to learn the following mascot song:
e^u^x dx, e^x dx
cosine secant tangent sine, 3.14159
integral radical mu dv, slipstick sliderule mit...go tech.


PS: I was kicked out of the team, and hence had to join the rowing club instead. Grad students are apparently too old >:0

A Graduate School Relationship

Graduate school is so much like a lingering relationship. There's no good way to break up, and its so hard to decide whether to take a break from school; and whether it will make things better or worse. On the other hand, the idea of not doing anything next semester is so very appealing, I just need more ideas of what to do then. Other than that, my SM thesis is finally starting to take shape and even look decently pretty. Of course, it is late, oh SO late.
