School starts, and I don’t do anything. I just plot out grand schemes in my head; finish this task that I didn’t do last term, start that project, do this more regularly, do that on time, etc!
And now once again I’m in panic attack territory. A good number of assignments coming up, reading to be done, and still making those great plans in my head. I’ll learn one day, but for the time being, I’ll continue chasing the deadlines.

I’ve added a Tune of the Week section. Just for kicks… but hopefully it’ll be fun for other poeple as well. I also added new wallpapers to the site. I’m planning some changes to things around here, but I’ll do that after my workload is a little bit lighter. I’m adding more links to the links page, just a few sites that I think are interesting.

It’s a month later, and so much has happened. I don’t know where to begin….
Well, exams ended December 18 (well, 19 really) and I was done with yet another term and another set of marks to expect!
I had an amazing time during the break. I almost did all I wanted to do… everything was perfect and I enjoyed every day of the break.
And when I wasn’t having fun, I was geeking it out!!
I watched a very interesting program on String Theory at PBS. And I know I’ve mentioned this to almost everyone I’ve met since, but it’s a very good program that I recommend to anyone interested in science and little bit of philosophy. They look at the whole thing from a very high level perspective.
I’ve become very interested in the topic and I’m going to do some readings on the subject the first chance I get. Unfortunately, there’s always other work that demands immediate attention.

I’m planning on updating the site more freqeuntly and I also have a few changes in mind that I will put in place soon. But for now, this is it. Oh, and I also put my schedule (tentative) up.

I know, I know.. I haven’t been paying attention to this thing that I started. But what can I do? School work is too much, so much that I can’t even complain. And you can tell it’s bad, because I’m the king of complaining…

I ran into two of my friends today, L. and W. (separately) and they were both in an odd mood. I don’t know how to describe it, it’s the mood when you’re quiet and just looking at yourself from the outside. ( At least that’s what I think thier moods were) I think short periods of extreme stress bring out the inner philosopher in most of us. We look at the grand scheme of things, and we brood .. no, ponder and re-examine, some of the decisions we’ve made!

…and when I’m not trying really hard to sound smart, I play Gunbound. It’s similar to worms, and scorched earth.. but it’s more fun!

Here’s my first update in a month or so. Maybe I shouldn’t be riding this whole blog thing too much…

I went and saw one of the best contemporary cartoonists from Iran, Nikahang Kowsar, give a speech. Very interesting talk, and more interesting was to actually meet this person and see what makes people like him go on!

" Born in 1969.He studied geology at the Tehran University,but didn’t finish his masters degree , due to his journalistic activities. He has been working for the press from 1991, starting with GOL AGHA , Iran?s most popular satirical magazine. He started working as an editorial cartoonist for the newspapers at 1993, first with HAMSHAHRI and after that for ZAN, KHORDAD, SOBH-E EMROOZ and 13 others .He was sent to prison for 6 days, because of drawing a cartoon for the AZAD newspaper. His cartoons on international issues have been published by IRAN NEWS & IRAN DAILY."

I added a new wallpaper, it’s very minimalist and nice.

I’m back at school. Trying to deal with the change in lifestyle.. I have to stay up late nights… pretend to study .. and drink lots of coffee…
Come to think of it, other than the study part nothing is going to change much!

Leaving home, wasn’t any easier this time around. But I guess I should be a hardened pro by now. Oh, and I’m starting to wish that days had 30 hours!
