Sure, I can call these problems

My biggest concern right now is getting my boy time and study time in sync. Given my track record, I am doing a pretty good job of it, though its sorta coming at the cost of very little sleep. This is a heavy semester, with 3 classes, a workshop, shadowing and 2 research papers to work on and I don't wanna burn out. 
Then there is the weather. This Pneumonia-inducing cold. I gave up on my plans to walk to and from school and decided to acknowledge the fact that I need help after turning up wheezing and freezing and late for my Stats class. I equitably assigned pick-up and drop-off duties among my sufficiently-willing schoolmates, those wonderful wonderful human beings.
I've also taken it upon myself to make a huge vat of Biriyani sometime next week. I really wanna get this right and I wouldn't be worried too much if this was back in India, but I will be feeding American and other international mouths. And am not sure how much I can tone down on the spices without making the whole darn thing un-Indian. Also, there is, I believe, a lactose-intolerant, almost vegetarian amongst us. I like her,  but I can't (and don't want to) imagine what such people eat.
