Recent Past, Present & Future

It has been some time since this blog saw a new post. Well, before anything else, a very happy new year to all those who are reading these lines (not a whole lot, I am sure). The winter holidays were fantastic. I enjoyed a lot in the one-month-long break. I didn’t go anywhere outside Chciago as most of my friends did but still made the most of it being in the city. I had decided to switch advisor and I was to start working with the new group only in January. So partying, eating out, going around the city, watching movies, visiting friends in near-by universities - it was all fun. This was the first time that I went to a church on Christmas eve. It was primarily because of three Italian guys insisting on going there, and also I must admit I didn’t like all about the long rituals, nonetheless it was a novel experience in the church. The New Year Eve at navy pier was also pretty nice. The festive mood was too hard to ignore. You can see a short video from you-tube here.

Now that the new semester has started, it looks like I got the time to write about all these. Things are again quite messed up, in fact it is messed up more than ever before. The details are just too complicated. It will be both difficult and stupid to put everything on this blog. I just hope that I finally end up getting a PhD.
