At the entrance to the tunnel.
First week of graduate school was spent on settling down, drinking, retrieving a lost bag from Delta, drinking more, sleeping and learning to play Wii while drinking. The latter activity made me think I'm too old for the modern games. They're too damn complicated and require massive investments of time and effort to reach some proficiency. Otherwise it's not fun to lose all the time. Can anyone see parallels with science?
As I'm approaching the 100th post, I'd like to make some conslusions and/or resolutions. Well, to start with, I do not regret at all I started the blog. It used to take me hours to write several lines in the beginning. Even though there's still a lot to work on in this respect, lack of English can't be an excuse for not writing anymore. Now it's about being focused. During rare short periods of active blogging and lab work, I would often write something before heading to the bench. Hitting 'post' after a fifth revision gives feeling of some achievement and force to proceed.
But to make the blogging really worth it, in other words, to reach the level of our giants, it at least needs to be more regular. I am thinking about teaming up with someone. Expect changes soon. Hopefully, to the best.
