Finished some take-away Continuous Assessment
Test (CAT). Type-setting this CAT in LaTeX took
me some time.
Continued Advanced Bio-informatics. This was an
enjoyable experience for me. I should be done
with this course this week.

one] to start reading:

Personal & Miscellaneous
Easter holidays. I was indoors on my
computer. That got interrupted by an afternoon
with a doctor friend. She’s such a lovely and
decent human being.
Random hang-out with a friend who has a young
family. We talked about careers. He is
interested in transitioning in to research work
[away from a well-paying corporate job].
Random thought: I work with some brilliant
exceptional people.
Practised some cursive. I want to have a better
mastery of all the letter forms in the Palmer
style of business writing.
I’m growing into a person that prefers “slow”
media (read long-form content) over “fast”
media.
