FOR TODAY
Outside my window… it’s dark again
I am thinking… actually, I’m not thinking at all. I worked pretty hard today, and I’m pooped
I am thankful for… finding a little timer thing – SnapTimer, which I’m using to break my work into 15 minute stints
I am learning… that everyone’s PhD really is more different that I had thought. I’m warned by other students about keeping up with reading, yet my supervisor doesn’t think that undirected reading will help me much.
I am creating… a draft of my 9 month report
I am going… home. I always do this at the end of the day, so that’s often where I’m going!
I am reading… my own writing. And some other standards that keep cropping up.
I am hoping… that tomorrow I can beat up a decent “related work” section
I am hearing… Asma (a previous PhD student) is visiting as she was at the careers fair. She’s chatting to some of the other students.
Around the lab… it has been pretty quiet. It’s Chinese New Year.
