Blah Blah Blah

Another one of those 14 straight hours of work in the lab today . And yet I felt the need to blog today of all the days :-) . Work has been exhausting to say the least . I was happy doing an experiment here and there but when you decide, rather, when your adviser decides its high time you came up with your next publication ( I was perfectly contended with two ), you realise you actually have to get all those experiments done . And when the Boss drops subtle hints that border on threats, the visions of being stuck for another year are just too disturbing to ignore and continue surfing the net !! I also realised (rather my adviser realised ...again ) , that my committee needs to be reminded that I exist , and would like to leave with their blessings . Which means hazaar emails/ phone calls , organizing their dates and fixing a committee meeting, not to mention putting together a decent progress seminar convincing them I could actually graduate this summer ! It just does'nt end !!!
Meanwhile partying has pretty much come to a lull after some major masti for bday's, job treats, moving aways and secret santas ...that came one after the other. Now that I keep reminding myself , this may be my last christmas, diwali , bday celebration before I move out , I cannot get myself to miss out on anything. I may crib about this small college town of mine, but nothing beats that feeling of being back here again , everytime I return from a trip . At the same time I can't wait to finish up and go out into the world ...after over 25 years of 'education'.
