No, its not that we do not sleep. We do, but then we have odd hours of doing that. If you ask me why, its because all of us here are awake(read wide awake) even at wee hours of 3:30 in the morning and we keep it going! And then we sleep. And we wake up at 3 during the day and some of us much later!

I have lost track of dates and days. Days run into nights and so on and so forth. Yesterday was particularly interesting. Everyone i know slept after 3:30 am. And everyone got up today after 3:00 pm except a few exceptions. Visiting hours are no longer restricted to evenings or mornings. Having friends at the odd hours in the night has become the norm and it is more than often inviting and preferred!

One of my friends pointed out to me-"Its just been the tip of the ice berg so far!"

Zilch!

After working with endless DB queries for the past 2 days, I slept for a nice long 7 hours. The morning sun woke me up with a relatively lesser tension for the day (Because i did not have any assignments due today!).Did the normal chores and then hit upon my all so faithful and loyal laptop. The first message from a friend on Yahoo-"your first "REALLY" cold day at Pittsburgh, it is gonna be 0 or 1, so bundle up well :) ".

I have mixed feelings about this. While cold weather is something I am not comfortable with, the prospect of experiencing it for the first time has me excited. I am well prepared-"bundled up" if u could say so! I was out in the department and met few friends while walkin back and all the talk was about the "1" that was due today which would leave us all freezing. KAKU,my friend, was freezing. He did not say hi to me or ask me what i was upto. He was busy shivering and saying-"ITS SOOO COLD".
