November 2007


I’m not sure how I feel about the upcoming week.

I pretty much know my tasks at hand: take care of class government responsibilities, take care of statistics HW, do philosophy reading, work on CS, and work on getting that internship for the summer (optional), work at job, and work for debate tournament. The difficulty is not that I have a fuzzy idea of what the week ahead will look like. I can’t see too many curveballs coming my way (though if a curveball does come, the fact that I haven’t seen its source may mean that it’ll be particularly bad). The difficulty is that it is an outrageous amount to take care of in a week (especially the killer CS + debate combination).

In all honestly, I often prefer the weeks that are low work but high stress (with plenty of curveballs in my life), but after going through two of those before break, it’ll be nice to just strap in and just take care of the massive piles of work piling up, one by one, without worrying so much about what my next move is.

Anyway, I better call it a night. Sleep’s going to be a luxury this week.

(01:02:52) The Voice of Reason: i’ve changed my buddy alias to “the voice of reason”
(01:03:06) Abhir Adhate: ?
(01:03:30) The Voice of Reason: i figure it’ll give me more certainty as i plunge into nebulous logical debates
(01:03:44) The Voice of Reason: i can always say
(01:03:58) The Voice of Reason: “look, who’s the voice of reason in this conversation?”
(01:04:14) Abhir Adhate: wait you changed your own alias … to the voice of reason… i dont think you are qualified to make that assertion
(01:04:24) Abhir Adhate: it needs to be peer reviewed!
(01:04:50) Abhir Adhate: and needs to be indepedently tested by other peers
(01:04:57) Abhir Adhate: in extensive double blind tests
(01:05:10) Abhir Adhate: then and only then can you call yourself the voice of reason
(01:06:25) The Voice of Reason: look, that’d all make sense, but i believe in the diametric opposite of what you said
(01:06:38) The Voice of Reason: and, really now, who’s the voice of reason in this conversation?
(01:06:57) Abhir Adhate: touche!
(01:07:10) Abhir Adhate: i guess it works
