I am done with this place for now. It was a fun throwback to Other Times(tm), but I am not sure this corner is the right one for me anymore. Adieu, etc.
I am even more excited about the PhD after finding out that if they like my proposal the school will fly me all expenses paid to Leipzig for an interview!!!
I am justifying my question by saying that we have lakes plentiful over here and hence next to nobody has a pool, that concept was known to me only through movies.
I am alive and relatively well. I am taking an anti-inflammatory for the probable muscle pull I got near my lungs from coughing so much when I was sick.
I am enjoying some music right now and waiting for the Nyquil(tm) kicks in.
