Time now is 9.55am, 18th March 2006.
Status: Still maintaining viable bodily functions on coffee but unfortunately CPU is running at less than optimal speed.
Place of residence: Spider lab.
Energy usage as of evening of 17th March till current time: 4 packets of 3 in 1 instant coffee, 1 cup noodles, half packet of cadbury chocolate coated roasted almonds (shared the sin with DM), one hot dog bun, few mouthfuls of 'cai4 fan4' (rice and veg)koped from DM.
CPU was running rather efficiently until 4 a.m. when it decided that it was going to take mandatory recuperating time-off to back up files and what nots that happens during REM.
Secondary CPU (DM) was on standby mode throughout the night except for moments when it displayed feats of brillance by acquiring gorgeous spider photos.
Progress status report for the night: Completed evolution lab report, microbiology lab report, 3rd draft of Materials and Methods, still ploughing through 3rd draft of Introduction, halfway through 1st draft of Results, Discussion still unretrieved from CPU's brain-storming files.
Efficiency rate: High considering 3-4hr of hibernation mode between the time of 4 plus to 7 plus a.m.
Secondary CPU still going strong. Left the lab for soccer game with buds. Later, 1 pm full dress rehearsal for performance at 7pm today.
*****
If you can understand all that then good for you. You can tell that i'm quite bored, hyper and sleep-deprived all at the same time.
Notes: I have concluded that staying over at the spider lab to work has done wonders for my efficiency rate as there is no distracting bed/plasma tv/generally sianess to not do anything. Plus, air-con is on all the time. Lab's got unlimited supply of COFFEE mixes since the prof is a big coffeeholic and so are many of the other grad students. The electric boiler is super efficient...din know that water can be boiled in a few mins until i came to this lab. Got my track pants and jacket...am oh so comfy. Bathed in school in the private toilet that can only be accessible by key (2nd time though...and there is HEATED WATER)! So shiok.
Oh yeah...I have really converted the lab into my 2nd home.
