updates

it's been a while since i wrote about how things are going with me.. so here's the blurb! this post has partly been brought upon by the slew of people mailing me up and buzzing me on IM asking what's up.. y'all know i'm too lazy to mail back and stuff!!

- things are going pretty well with the thesis.. i've managed to move most of the data from lab journals to spreadsheet files, so now its just a lot of plotting and stuff, making the data look more presentable to the layman's eye.. not that i see any reason why a layman would want to read the thesis!!

- on the health front, i'm just getting over a wicked cough.. damned hacking kept me awake quite a few nights! luckily i didn't get a runny nose and all that, i absolutely detest that! this cough really cramped my life though.. haven't touched any alcohol in umm.. let's see.. ten days now.. *eyes widening in horror* has it really been that long?!!

- work at the library has been quite peaceful.. ever since i got promoted to Student Co-Ordinator it's been pretty good. lots of new staff at the library, so i think my dreary days of shelving in the stacks are over! hehe! the measly payrise was a bit of a let-down though, but i do have over 70 hours of back-pay still due.. so can't really complain!

- my sports teams are having a miserable run of it.. in football the Buffalo Bills are hobbling now, with injuries and confusion plaguing the team, and the UB Bulls are just hopeless, firmly entrenched in the bottom ten of the college rankings.. yep, bottom ten! and in soccer, Juventus are 100% in the Italian league, which is a great sign, they look really strong, but in England, Everton are in free-fall. despite all the money spent, the influx of so many players, and actually playing decently, they're still yet to catch a break. enough said.

- finally, despite all the things whirling about in my world, there is a sense of calm and serenity. there is a purpose in life, and i seem to have found it again. and there is a lot of happiness too, and it's about time i had some of that! :-)
