As with all things in my life at the moment, I only find I can give a little bit of time to something before being pulled away by something else. I try to devote myself to lit searches for background writing of my dissertation and get pulled off to start looking at prelim confirmation data and get pulled even further off when I start digging into determining why it doesn't match the original data... Then when I start to get it all slightly back to normal, I take our oldest cat to the vets (he's loosing weight) and find out he has hyperthyroid. Follow that up a few days later with our phone and internet going on the Fritz requiring me to stay home Monday and wait for the repairmen. All and all I need a little normal... And so I post this. A self photo I took when Paper Mama first put up the
challenge. =) A little bit of normal to me is balancing all this science with a little bit of artistic nature. And I find when I'm obsessing over science that I start to daydream by reading through artsy blogs such as http://thepapermama.com. I think I may start blogging again. Mabye turn her
52 weeks of drawings challenge into a way to de-stress when I've got my nose too close to the science to see what I really need to be focused on.
Currently...
Stressed. Too much to do, not enough time and running out of steam.
Working on…
Finishing my PhD dissertation. Aka lots of reading, data analysis, compilation and writing while still trying to run a household.
Anticipating…
Getting caught up and maybe graduating in May. Possibly also doing something nice for my 32nd birthday that falls on Easter this yr. Planned on defending my thesis around then but that would require a miracle &/or a time machine.
Listening to…
NPR. I've found streaming this is a good way to multitask and get a little bit or world news/interesting stories.
Eating/Drinking…
A desk full of sweets and an orange/black tea mix. =)
Wishing…
I had 3 of myself to tackle it all and succeed.
