Been So Busy
Hey all... well, all who's left - I'm sure I've cast off what readership I had remaining at this point. Yes, I know it's been a long time since I've posted. And believe me, I wish I could take the time to do fun stuff like post to this blog... but let me just take a moment to summarize the past week or two:
Work.
Yeah, yeah, we all know and we all get busy. I guess it's just that I never feel like it's ok to take a break, even if it's a really short break. I might have mentioned before that I operate in one of two modes: either laid-back, I have plenty of time, it'll all get done... or panicked, I have no time, damage control I gotta work as hard as possible. I've been in that second mode for the past week - and it's certainly been justified as I was up until midnight at least twice the past week. It's been a little easier now because I'm between rotations and the homework has let up a little bit... but I know it'll crunch even harder in another week, and even harder up to the end of the semester.
If I ever get the chance I'll post to Science Corner. I really really want to, and I actually have the answers to my father's questions, I just haven't had time to write them up in an amusing fashion. Plus I have another half-finished Science Corner article which is waiting for me to spend a few moments on it... it's tough though because you would think I would even have some time to work on it on the train, but many times I can't get a seat on the train and typing while standing on a moving train is tough :)
All I can say is stay tuned. Believe me, nobody wants me to take a break more than myself...

What's up with this whole work overload thing? You and Anna both are struggling through the semester, while it's just starting to get rather boring for me. I guess it's that whole only-three-courses-and-no-job-or-crew thing... :-P We'll have some fun this summer, though!

Karl - your readership hasn't changed, and is unlikely to change. We stuck with you when you felt you had to post every day - we'll stick with you when you miss a week (or two). It's called affection.
Please mark down your sisters comments and play them back next year. I know she'll appreciate the reminder.
Thank you for taking my questions seriously. There have been some comments here at the Condo indicating a certain level of humor relating to my inquiries. One cannot be ashamed of one's interests, despite the ridicule of ones' pears.
