So, I've switched to the new Blogger now, which basically means that all the comments which were posted by people who weren't Blogger members have all become "Anonymous", which is, indeed, a loss. There is also now an ugly blue bar on top that Blogger had thus far refrained to attach to my blog. Sigh… But it also means that I won't have to hit the Republish Blog button - it just happens! (or so they say)
And, in more… relevant… news, I've only now begun to see the consequences of my taking 22 units this quarter (an all-time high, but beating only last Winter, which was 21). I guess this is to make up for last Spring when I totally took it easy at 15 units - wow, those were fun times. Anyway, yes, consequences - well, basically, I'm really glad that this is a three day weekend and there're no classes tomorrow, because I don't see how else it would have been possible for me to finish even a tiny bit of this homework (and, right now, at the beginning of the quarter, it's simple mind you). I have five subjects and they've all assigned homework that's either due on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. It's a lot of work. I've finished two out of the five and those were the small ones. I'm about to start a medium-sized one (physics) now and hopefully find out how the hell I'm supposed to do CME (probability) and CS (Eclipse) which I haven't even looked at. Note to self: this is not going to get easier as the quarter progresses.
Anyway, I have also been pondering the Bing Overseas Program and my desire to study for a quarter in Běijīng. I'm definitely going to apply, although I'm not sure which quarter to apply for because I do also want to be able to graduate… so much planning. But first thing on Tuesday: beg the School of Engineering to give me credit for Mathematics 41 and 42 (Single-Variable Differentiation and Integration) which I am certainly able of doing, because I've done the Math 50s series (the multi-variable dealio) and passed with good grades. But, I'm afraid they're going to be unreasonable and ask me to take an extra 8 units of mathematics somewhere, which would be hideous because I absolutely hate taking classes in the subject.
Oh, and yes, the title of the post. I almost forgot. So, whenever I go back to Delhi, I resume my gymming activity (or so the past two visits to Delhi would prove). This time on, unlike last time, I decided with an extra-strong swig of will that I would continue to exercise once I got back to college, and thus far I have kept my promise. I have been running at the fitness centre every other day for the past week and have run 5 miles each day. Which means that my calves are really aching right now (I'm lying, they were aching but are definitely okay now) but it's a satisfied sort of ache.
