tylikUsually motivation isn't a big problem for me, unless I've been pushing too hard. And I still have this vague sense that I took the weekend off... (I was busy, but for the most part I wasn't busy on school stuff.) But I am having a difficult day.
I actually took off early from the lab. I was already unhappy about the crappy and irrelevant documentation I was struggling through, and having to really work to stay focused on it... and then I reached a point where it said something close to "I'm not going to give you a picture of this as it would appear in a data cube, as data cubes are entities that transcend human intelligence." (emphasis mine). I managed to stay at my desk another fifteen minutes, but really, that was it for me.
Watching Shaolin Soccer helped a lot, I must confess.
And now I have finished the required prep for classical tomorrow... the minimum required prep. Less than I usually do. And we have a quiz tommorow, which I should study for... I think I'm going to take an epsom salt bath and go to bed. Last time around I didn't study for the quiz because I simply didn't have any time. And I did well enough. And we drop our lowest score of the four, and I've done well enough on the others... but mostly I'm at a point where my brain and body both are demanding retreat. (And honestly, not sleeping well will do me more harm at this point than not studying more.)
It's weird. I feel like I've had more down time the last few days than I had in the last few weeks previous, but between the abcessed tooth (now mostly better), the fact that I haven't gotten more than seven hours of sleep a night since last week when I was pulling four or five, and the residual soreness in my back... Gah. I so hope my back holds. I really, really need to be able to get back to training hard. I feel like my body is falling apart on me, without it. Everything works better when I can train seriously. I even get enough sleep. (In part, because when I'm training hard enough, I have no choice. I don't have to work at sleeping, sleep comes looking for me. Though honestly, insomnia hasn't had much to do with it recently.
