Feb. 15th, 2005 11:48 pmDespite all my grouchiness, this has actually been a pretty decent day. Much improved by realizing that when I need to I can walk less than a block from the lab and hang out on a beach on the Montlake cut... Water and sun and forms.
A lot of my stress has been motivated by some of the confusion around my academic plans. (Yes, better on something than I think I ought to increases my stress load. I like to think things make more sense than that.) But I think I know what I need to do. Namely, talk to Genetics again. Probably start attending lectures from some of the people I might want to work under. Talk to V. (Eep!) Be pretty upfront about what I want to study and what kind of research I want to do, and see how flexible the programs are.
Even though I feel more like I have a cold, my energy is coming back. This is also drawing my attention to ways in which the reduced wushu schedule has not been suiting my body. So I just did a lot of ab work, and lifted weights. And that felt very good.
