decision

This is my phd life decision....I am actually staying with my phd supervisor and his wife (and THE KID)...and I am still finding my accommodation... I had a hard time getting one, so my supervisor suggested that I should stay with them for the rest of the time.. well, possibly until something happen and both of us quarrel at the uni and I will be kicked out of the house, perhaps...

So, I do not know whether I should accept his offer. What do you guys think? First of all, I can't skip any of the weekdays since I stay with him! If i went clubbing and got a hangover, I wouldn't want to turn up to uni and I'll just give some excuse of being sick or whatsoever...However, if i am staying with him, I can't possibly do that, can I?

But staying with them means a safe place for me...Since this place is a expensive area, the crime rate would be so much lower and I had no problem walking home late. But, in contrast, I can't party, and I HAVE to GIVE UP my party life! UGH...What should I do? I had viewed a few houses and they are all in really bad condition...This is the toughest decision I'll have to make....

And I went to view a house with a Pakistani landlord...he was a bit FLIRTY and asked me out for DINNER! He called every other day eversince I went to see his house! But I wont be staying with him, I'll be staying near him (a few streets away)...I am scared he might have the spare key to my room and I wonder if I'll have to castrate him at some point...He is in his mid 40's and he is single! So, I think of that place as a HUGE NO-NO!

Well, let me know what you guys think, okay? I need some suggestions...

BACK!

Yes, I am BACK! Very alive but full of headaches...I had decided to go for PhD and the problem is that I am here, but I do not have permanent accommodation! I had to wake up around 5am in the morning and arriving home at 6pm or 7pm mostly...It's not due to the distance, but due to the owners.. I had to get out when they get out and come back when they finished their job...I am desperately looking for a decent room, near my university but DEFINITELY not STUDENT ACCOMMODATION with UNDERGRADS...well, I am kind of sick having to clean the house and seeing them partying when I CANT party~

Well, basically, everything is good at university and I am actually involved in Cancer cells research..I had never really done this before, so I had to pick up the techniques within a month so that I can be independent enough to do stuff on my own... Ugh, while dealing with the house, I had to do another project for my supervisor coz he is busy...at the same time, I am asked to vomit a literature review by next monday and I obviously had no time to do that! DARN!

I am staying with a 15 months kid and it was okay during the daytime but when he wakes up at 3am in the morning, IT IS HELL...Anyway, I am pretty much alive and will be updating my blog...if the kid is not disturbing....lucky for me, I have billions of cousins and I am pretty much used to the kid-atmosphere (aka noise)
