Never let anyone fool you: grad school is nowhere near a joyride. That's what I believed when I got my bachelors; not anymore. Now I realised that my undergrad days were, in factm quite easygoing, so to speak. Now I have no less work than I had when all I had to worry about was reports and exams.

Today, there is a lot more in question: for starters, my whole project, and my thesis. Obviously I don't know exactly how to handle everything - what questions I have to pay attention for, what pieces of the whole thing demand more work, and so on. I;m not complaining - that's the whole point of a grad course, I think. Gradually I am realising a broader view of my work and of what I have to do. I think that's the most important thing to learn when in grad school: how to work by yourself, without leaving other people out.

Unfortunately, on a more practical approach, I'm quite behind the schedule. Gotta work on that...

Good bye tagboard.

The tagboard have been bugging me for a long time, and it became evident that no one was giving a shit about it - me included. So, I removed it.

I have also updated my picture, take a look on the left. Sam is in it with me.

Everything seems to be finally getting to the right places.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction - although I had to drop Statistical Mechanics, at least my advisor's course is going well. What worries me now is the seminar I'm supposed to present next month...

Apart from that, I have been quite absent from the internet these days. I'm completely disappeared from all the forums I am a member of, became only a casual player on online games, even in the instant messaging it's unusual for me to be online. It's expected, to be honest, since I'm adapting myself to what matters to me. Needless to say, the thing that matters the most has a name, and she's in the picture up there on the left.

Right then.

Okay, so it's been ten days since my last post - which by the way wasn't exactly long...

I'm still not sure about what to write here. But I try.

Well, there's the setlist for Guitar Hero II. It seems cool, although I don't know many of the songs in it. And I'm pretty pissed due to the fact that it does not include a single song from Led Zeppelin. Pathetic. I don't care whose fault it is, this should not have happened. There are some pretty cool songs, though. YYZ (Rush), Monkey Wrench (Foo Fighters), Sweet Child o'Mine from (Guns), among others. And, of course, Freebird (Lynyrd Skynyrd). I knew it wasn't just a lame joke... =P

In other news, she is far away. I confess that I don't think about her all the time. But when I do, I just can't stand waiting until sunday, when we're going to see each other again. I'm so happy with her I can't express it in words. A lot of thoughts cross my mind these days, many of them about the future. I try not to worry too much about it, but sometimes I just can't help it, and the reason is simple. I'm falling for her.

Happy.

I've had no time to post here recently, due to several reasons.

I don't know yet what I'm going to write about, so I'm not going to write anything here yet. It is enough to say that the last two weeks have been the happiest period of this year for me. Thanks to her.
