Bad Grad Student *slaps*
I was just wondering why i sitting at work at 6.15pm and tired. Oh, yeah, 5am check-in again.
I am such a bad grad student. I try so hard, it just doesn't seem to work out. For some reason, I still haven't been able to do all the jobs I set for myself over the past week. I did do a lot though. Plus I managed to fit in a lunch-time run. It was possibly all the time i spent reading reams of PhD Comics that didn't help. And I'm absolutely sure that taking the Ekka Holiday off didn't help either.
Despite that, it's been pretty fun. Clare, Richelle and Deanna and I went to Mt Cootha for Ekka Holiday, after I'd been to a PhD Social Breakfast beforehands of course. Thursday was long-run night. Friday night was the Broad concert, which was fantastic. Kate Miller-Heidke is so hot. *drools* So I guess I wasn't that productive.
Saturday I was most unlike myself, so I took the whole day "off". I skipped running, possible conference and the ERC Ball (which I'd decided not to go to). I cleaned and reorganised the pantry (taking most of the day), did all my washing and that night went out with Robbie for fancy dinner at a Chinese restaurant down the road before walking home and playing Lego until late (whilst drinking chocolate liquor of course).
The next day I was back to my usual self, someone I haven't been for a fair while. I've set myself a few exciting tasks this week such as;
* the "you're right, I'm wrong, there is no inbetween" programmed response so that I can't experience not being "right"
* running during work time to make myself think better
* buying music stuff like a new capo and possibly amp
* starting a band with intimatstranger and redteacher
* doing full+ days of work on my PhD
Hmmm... on reflection, maybe my life's not so exciting. Oh, and I started a savings account. OK, yeah, really not that exciting.
I wonder what my life will be like in 5 years time? (Please answer this question for me as a comment)
