(no subject)
I feel stifelled. I am currently in a coffee shop in Beijing with my laptop. I've been working through my backlog of emails for over five hours. There is still so much to do, I need to email out conference proposals, networking emails, read articles and updates, everything I neglected to do in my month of ignorant travelling bliss.
It would have been okay if my only contact with the outside social world wasn't purely restricted to email. I can't access facebook, or twitter, or even blogger something that I'm semi-formally supposed to update. I can't filter out pleasure from work, that with the added time difference in Europe means that I'll rarely have any spontaneous interaction.
I need to take a break, and I need to talk to someone!
