The Lust is Back

The lust to see proper work done that is. Finally got a little bit of urgency back. Was lapsing into holiday mood after the exams. Just realised I am left with only 3 more months. Got to step up the pace.

On Wednesday, supervisor talked to me about my plans after my project. She is reluctant to take in any more student because she feels like retiring. But she did recommend me to another PI. It feels nice to be recognised by someone who have seen a lot. Then again, despite what others have said, I do acutely know that I have yet to become the completed product (no one can be a completed product because there is always new things to learn).  

Need to buy new shoes and trousers. It's a pain when the basic things that I have taken for granted falls apart or needed an effort to maintain/replenish.

Looks like I got to do something on the social front. Getting "scooped"... Then again, I deserved it... Too reserved and too focused on work to see the world around me.

Brain Block

Suffered from brain block while writing Introduction today. There is too much information and I am having trouble trying to put them together to achieve a good flow of ideas. I think I need to get a 1,2 day break. Need to do some reading to come up with a good Introduction, buy some clothes and a pair of new shoes (old ones are coming apart).

Better not go into holiday mood. But there are still a number of people I want to meet (some of them quite desperately)...
