Project
One of the most vivid dreams I ever had was one where I was chasing a tiger with a stick and a whistle.. Somehow my current project feels like a similar exercise..

FUNDING
Writing this at 6:24 am (no I did not wake up early), I have two observations or rather facts :
1. I am yet to finish my reading assignment. (which is a kick ass one: papers on math models developed for preventing bio terrorism and emergency reaction.)
2. I have to report to my library job at 10 am.
This only makes me think how much more work I can put in as a grad student if I had funding. Just a thought my dear University.

Work
This is the second in a series of posts that I plan to write labelled "Dynamics of Grad Life". My first post was titled Desperation.
The weird thing about studying at the Library is that I find it literally packed the entire week from 8:00 pm to 1:30 am. Suddenly at 2:00 am there is nobody. Similarly I found that Friday nights have the same effect. The place was almost empty.
I am posting this on a Sunday night and I could not find a seat in here. Easily. Strange.... Or is it?

Desperation
Ever had that tingling nervelessness. Yes I meant nerveless and not nervous.. That weird restlessness when you feel so pent up, so wasted that you can't do anything but you want to do something. And not just anything.. Something reckless.. Something consequential.. Something.. Something...
The nostrils flared, the breath was ragged, the eyes were bloodshot.. But suddenly they cleared. The eyes, oh! the eyes.. The eyes cleared so fast that it almost seemed that the blood was retreating in fear. The pupils constricted until they were a mere dot.. But what a fearsome dot..
Now, I was going to do something... My lungs expanded and what followed was a blood curling scream.. The scream of righteous anger.. I had had enough and this was the day.. I had promised myself I would do something someday and this was that day...
I went to sleep..!!! Blissful sleep..!!
The key words in U of M are Sleep Deprivation. Grad life for you...!!!
