New Semester : Old Whining

The title says it all. The new semester, the same monster, has appeared again. And like all others, I hate the school to start. Classes, assignments, exams – the same old story of a student life. Add the extra TA load, sprinkle some careless advisor, lousy research spice to that and you got the standard graduate student life. Summer was good and not just because of the weather. Well, that just reminds me that I had a lot of fun this summer; went to several places, visited old friends and made new ones. As a side effect … I am broke; I mean I am badly broke. The bank account balance has almost dropped to null. I pay this semester’s tuition differential and the process is complete. Oh! No! I forgot about the credit card balance.
