		<title>One more chapter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[QoH took a brief look at the proposal and thinks that I need one more chapter that ties all the work I have done into a cohesive and compelling story. He is right about it, but it so much work. These 15 pages are going to take me a couple of weeks if not more. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thesis Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of chapter 1 is done. Trying to figure out what all the work you did over the last 8 years is a lot more difficult than one would assume. The hard part is not assimilating it into a massive document, but to figure out what exactly did you contribute to the advancement of science [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lethargy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[280 pages of half baked dissertation text beckon, nah&#8230; demand, my attention. Most of it is in a semi-decent form, and realistically it needs about 2 weeks of hard work to get into shape. Considering I am just submitting it for a general exam, it is probably a *lot* less work. Not sure why I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you thought this blog was dead, you thought wrong. This is a re-birth of sorts.
So, whats been going on in my life in the last year or so:
a) I am close to my general exam, and most of the time these days is spent writing up a dissertation proposal that is closer to final [...]]]></description>

I feel the urge to resurrect this blog.
I feel the need to speak.
I feel the need to be profound.
I feel the need to scream
Not sure I can, nor should I.

		<title>Opportunity Cost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been wondering about the pros and cons of grad school education in general, and Ph.D. in particular. One thing that most people do not talk about is the opportunity cost of the decision to go to school for 7 more years (2 Masters + 5 Ph.D). Exactly how much does one loose in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Devil to Lolcat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I had mentioned in the previous post, I have started to play poker regularly and with a bit more seriousness. I play at a no-money poker club that meets at a sports bar, and every week the player with the most points gets rewarded with a free buy-in at a nearby casino. This week [...]]]></description>

[Image from pixxp.com ]
The quarter has ended and brought along the joys of not having to TA for rest of my natural life, YAY!!! It was not that bad a quarter after all, just too much work that was not personally rewarding. The last week was very busy with setting up the final exam, grading [...]]]></description>
