This morning was lovely, because I hid in my room and re-read 'Life of Pi' while I waited for the day to start. So I was feeling quite cheerful when I left the house, because as well as books to delight me the weather today is ridiculously lovely.
Unfortunately, after walking past the fourth shop selling something I wanted and thinking, "Oh, no, I won't go in, then I'll have to talk to people", I realised that today was going to be somewhat difficult. Because my mission for today is to call people up and ask for help and interviews.
Ick.
So I am taking little breaks in between each phonecall, and trying not to get too anxious about things.
In other news:
* I'm going to Hubli with Akshay and Suresh for a few days to see a few things (a research institute, a few workshops, some people). I'll be leaving tomorrow night and getting back on Friday evening, so don't fret if you aren't subjected to my usual five-second-interval posts.
* Mail will be sent out about the dean's postgraduate award by the end of the week. Hopefully if I don't get it I'll still have a few days to apply for the other source of funding I've been looking at for the ISTR conference.
