It's been quite a while since I last posted here. Academics has been taking its toll on me for the last few days. Whoever thought university life could be this difficult? Uh, well, I did. 
Interestingly, my professors seem to like setting the deadline for all the requirements for their classes on a single day. Take my Algorithms professor, for example. He gave us a take-home examination that should be submitted this day. He also gave us a series of problem sets that should be submitted today. That does not stop there. He also gave us a problem that we should solve on our computers and whose deadline is--yes, that is right once again--today. Have I told you that I have other obligations as well?
It seems that this is just the beginning. Darker days are bound to come. The term will still have a long way to go before it ends, and yet I feel that I am already working on my subjects for a year already. No kidding.
It during these times of despair that one finds amusement in the little things he/she did not care for in the past. This is my case right at this very moment. I am amused by almost everything that can take my mind off my obligations, make it a computer game, the silence of the night, the movement of a clock, a bowl of ice cream, or furry wind-up running animals. I wouldn't care much about these things in the past, but today I will gladly accept almost any form of distraction after hours of seriousness.
Forgive me for ranting. It is only through these thoughts that I begin to realize that I am getting older, indeed.
All UPSable
