I'm exhausted. Mentally, physically, emotionally. Completely lost my appetite because of stress, so I'm back below the normal BMI which doesn't mean anything to anyone, but I'll keep being annoyed because of it. Fortunately, I'll get about a week of free time between my last exam and the start of next semester, so there's some hope for rest and getting some peace. At least that's the plan.

I learned that one of the guys who made my life in high school a living hell died on Saturday. Not gonna lie, I have some very confusing, incongruent feelings. Obviously, I hated and resented him. Part of me still does. But I, hope just as obviously, didn't want him dead, only to leave me alone. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to attend the funeral, but I think that I should put everything aside and go.

Exams are at full swing, solved most of the 'take home' problems already. Physical Chemistry problems were surprisingly hard (doubly so when compared to homework), but I'm relatively confident of getting 4.5 (which I assume is like strong B/B+).

By my adviser's estimate, my maths thesis is very close to being complete, which is perhaps the best news I brought in in about three weeks or so.

So far the chess tournament score is 4 out of 5, I posted my last game in this thread if you are interested and missed it:

Because when you blunder, blunder hard.

I have nothing to say academically or professionally except you are an insightful, intelligent, kickass person who deserves success.

Personally, take the time to care for yourself, body and spirit. Self care pays itself back rather quickly I find.
