the slow ride up the rollercoaster

nothing much to report lately, because it seems that everything is happening AT ONCE. in the next couple of weeks, I have 3 reports to hand in, a couple of papers to write. I shouldn't be whinging so much about it though, because this is all self inflicted. I could have had a nice and early start to all these, but because of my other non-academic distractions, they've been put back till the very last minute. A little complacency is a bad thing.

And to top is all off, the icing of the cake is that i've been down with a dry hacking cough and sore throat the last week. And, it's making its rounds to the rest of my colleagues, as well as the visitor to the lab. i've taken it upon myself to do work in the library from now on. Colleague on my right is preparing for a very important presentation (PhD defence) and can't afford to catch my bug. oh well.. in any case, with the weather the way it is the last couple of weeks. Anyone is susceptible.

and in other new.... hmmm. what news? i haven't been reading the newspaper, don't know what's going on in the greater world at large. oh yes.. i have a ticket to london leaving 28th Nov! But don't know if i can make it.. after all... I have all these deadlines to meet.. damn.. hindsight is always 20/20.

*cough* :(
