Here are a few things that I never really got around to telling you guys about:

• I will be switching to a new project for my Ph.D. It has a very ambitious deadline of 9 months, which is pretty aggressive considering the initial time line on the proposal was for 24 months.
• QoH has offered to double my paycheck over the summer partly in order to recognize my efforts in all the proposals we have been writing, and partly because how demanding the new project will be.
• The increased paychecks over summer will go a long way in providing some relief from the financial pressures.
• TA work is taking pretty much all life out of me. I am constantly conflicted between feeling awful for awarding ultra low points to students, but at the same time feeling the need to keep them accountable for such low standard answers.
• I have taken up tutoring an undergraduate student to make some cash on the side to bridge the shortfall each month. It might not amount to much, but over the last couple of weeks it has netted me close to $200.
• One of my really close and good friend is moving to a different city to start a new life as a fully employed professional at a very respectable organization. I will miss him dearly.
• For the most part, I have managed to successfully insulate myself from all that is happening around me, and retain sanity.

So, thats that.

A new look

Ya…. so…. yet another new look for the same old blog. This one is more flexible, warm, and a lot more simpler. I would like to think that it reflects my personal philosophy is life.
