coming up for air

so tonight I finished about hour 30 on the analysis assignment (8 problems), which is good since it's due tomorrow morning. TA duties loom, as well as 10 problems for topology, all for Thursday. Life is in full gear already, and it's only week 2. However, I have found that if I just ask for help, I can get it. I'm not used to spending this much time and effort on homework, but it's apparently typical and something I should get used to, along with a lack of sleep. I really like the department though, I picked a good one to be in. They test my limits, but the people are great and they do want me to eventually succeed. And I should never forget the wonderful effect of a nice walk/prayer session. It's what made the afternoon turn around. Time for some very deep, unfortuantely short, sleep.
