It's Been Raining, Man

Ugh. Sometimes, you just can't do anything but sigh. I've learned to hate heavy rainy days, but for reasons other than those of my contemporaries not in the field of education: there goes my schedule. Worse yet, the paperwork is at the office, so what work I could do was merely generation of more paperwork.

Day In, Day Out

A bunch of ins and outs for me today. Much moving around, much making ado, not too sure about actual progress, but, heck, it's a start. Back on track, but waiting for the next big thing.

Playing Catch-Up

Not quite caught up with everything for the semester yet, though I've been pushing hard to be ahead of the curve on a bit, I am now flagging behind in the clean-up for my CS 135 classes. Not only have I not checked any of SW #1, 2, PS #1, 2 or LE #1, I haven't uploaded the solutions for SW #1, PS#2 or LE #1. Sigh. Must clear out the backlog.

Wrong Time to Be Lazy

I guess my priorities are a little jumbled. Instead of uploading a soft copy of today's (and yesterday's) discussion on the solutions of the problem sets, I am currently merely uploading, editing, re-editing, and so on, some other solutions.

Sigh...

Moving Around, Getting Nowhere

On my own volition, mostly on a good friend's suggestion, I will be going back to an alma mater that has already taken me in twice before, to suggest the wonders of using such useful and amazing freeware as TeX and Scilab.

Heavy Week

Hmmm... with an examination to give maybe at week's end, I'm looking at submitting a problem set, maybe a second problem set, and then an examination to take in a week's time, not to mention a second presentation within two weeks. Sigh.

Too Much, Too Little

Like the Doppler effect, there seem to be dates in my calendar where I seem to be squeezed into a tight spot by all sorts of deadlines and lack of resources, followed by a general slackening - the most dangerous type of slack, the one that is well-deserved but ill-timed, on account of further Dopplering along the semester. I think that this semester will be slightly more manageable than I had initially surmised; then again, that could just be me blue-shifting into a red zone.

Crunching Down

Time to actually work... knowing full well that I will be devoting myself mostly to my other life, the one this work has paid for. Or would've paid for, had I actually been paid for this cycle of work yet. Sigh.

Long Day

Today will be a full implementation of my TTh schedule, which is basically class at 8:30 to 10, consultation from 10 to 3:30, and class at 4:30. Depending on what happens in the last class of the day, my schedule may yet change anew.

Sympathy Headache

I am familiar with the concept of sympathy pains, but can they be transmitted through phone? What about sleepiness - in reverse?
