9:45 am- I worked for about 4-5 hours during week end. I have a lot to do, am going to start. I am sick, I got cold in this f$##%#% heat, I can not breath easily and it sucks.

1:30 pm - am back from lunch, starting again.

5:15 pm- I worked so-so, I am not satisfied, but that was not very bad. I feel tired abit, I need to rest to get free of this cold, may go home and work later today.

10:30 pm- well I came home, did some cooking, had a light dinner and felt sleep for about 2 hours! I went out for a walk to avoid more sleep (I hope it was due to pills!), I am still tired, I have runny nose and eyes and want to sleep now. I didn't work, I hate writing and studying at the same time, I am just writing now and time flies... how can I finish all these? I heard five more students were forced to drop the PhD cause they either didn't pass the exam or proposal defense. I am so nervous, it seems they were all Iranian.
