eating makes me sleepy

When I'm hungry, I can't study. But when I eat something, I get sleepy and can't study. So, what should I do when I'm hungry? Just eat and let myself fall asleep? I had a quick lunch about an hour ago and I can't be productive because I'm sooooooooooo sleepy! Maybe I should go get a cup of coffee.

Just like many other New Yorkers, I'm not happy with the presidential election result. Maybe I shouldn't get too emotional over politics of this country. After all, I'm not a citizen and can't even vote. (Irony is, this country still makes me pay federal taxes, social security, and Medicare even though I can get any benefits by paying for all these stuff) Yet, I think it's still important to care about this election. Because of the globalization, one country's politics affects international issues. Anyways, I feel that I shouldn't get into this right now...S

o, it's raining again in NYC. I hope the same kind of disaster doesn't happen to me again (see post on "Story about a grad student"). I'm tempted to skip this class because it's just one of those "get to know your prof's research" seminar. Every week, one or two professors give a talk about their research. Some are interesting but others can be really boring. A few weeks ago, this prof came in and went on and on about his personal philosophy. I think he was either too lazy to prepare a presentation or have nothing to say about his research.
