The year is almost over

This year has been a roller-coaster ride and I'm glad my wife is always here with me and I with her. We finally have a new home! There are still a couple of things to fix and furniture to buy though. Also, we never anticipated the inconveniences of following up documents and paying dues -- from the Engineers to the people at the City Hall to the utility companies.

Teaching is good but research is kind of faltering in the sense that there are few research opportunities. -- I'm glad though that our 3 year research proposal to DOST is approved. Hopefully we get the research fund early next year. I am under the impression that our research grant is a very small part of government budget devoted to research.

My undergraduate thesis advisees have been very diligent -- hopefully they will finish their projects on time.
