*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*
A couple of profs whom I sounded out have replied to my
emails.
They both didn't want to take on my current project.... but they
both have suitable projects which I might want to take up.
One of their projects sounds especially interesting..... about
using bubbles to remove sludge from water. And I may even get to
reuse some of my current research (using bubbles to mix water) - so
my work this semester might not have all gone down the drain.
I was pretty depressed over the past few days.... now, I
suddenly feel better.

i am depressed reading ur post
are u allright or not??
