A muffled New Year

Chinese New Year here is not much of anything, it is a muffled celebration limited to red packets and lanterns stuck by my dorm's administration in the lobby, and a yearly Malaysian/Singaporean dinner. But to be very honest I never placed much cultural significance on it, it was just a time with family and the extended family -- so I guess that makes me a family person, but not in any sense a traditional/cultural person.

The weekend was extremely busy though, and I didn't feel very well a good part of today, so from a productivity perspective I accomplished close to nothing. And I regret to say that it's only the beginning of the third week of school yet I feel rather overwhelmed by the workload ahead of me, both for this week (almost all my professors assigned problem sets due on the same two days, for goodness' sake), and for the whole semester, if I extrapolate the amount of work I have now to the whole of the semester.

Oh God I really need You.
