weekend/weakened

had a pretty terrible weekend.. i'm down yet again with a cough and cold.. this has been a horrible winter for me healthwise.. i've been plagued by recurrent colds all the way since november :-(( strange thing is that i haven't been doing anything to invite it, unlike last winter when we went clubbing and pubbing, painting the city all shades of tequila! some people i know still don't talk to me since then!!

so i've pretty much been in bed all weekend except the waking daylight hours of saturday, when sank and i heroically spent the afty in the lab.. sank is working on his project report that's due tomorrow, and i actually studied IRM (infra-red microscopy).. and none of you can be more surprised than me.. cos i really didn't think i had it in me anymore to sit and concentrate for periods longer than it takes me to tie my shoelace!! even that takes a really concentrated effort and usually results in a headrush early every morning!!

aaand another week beckons.. and i gotta say i don't even feel like leaving my bed! my grand master plan of eliminating mondays and thursdays from my week has been shelved until further notice by my advisor, who was not in the least amused by the suggestion that i need to rest my mind after such sustained spurts of brain activity.. he maintains that opening the door to the lab and switching on the radio doesn't count as intellectual work that merits a break! c'mon man!!
