Be confident. Stay focused. One thing at a time.
kromer 1:30 CI
I feel like I'm getting a little off track...I have so much work to do, and I feel like I'm so overwhelmed that I'm not getting ANYTHING done.
OK, so for today:
*Talk to postdoc candidate
*Prep for and go to girls' group
*Look at R10 slides, take picts and put into presentation
*Post ambiguous picts
*Check on expts
*Do some basic analysis of stage-specific data...clustering image, list of 50 closest genes, earlier/later, RA-responsive genes, spermatid genes. Start putting into presentation
*Emails
OK, this is a lot but I can do all (or most) of it if I'm efficient.
Falcon CI Tuesday
Like Rexroth, I planned to be productive this morning, then woke up not feeling great. Weird sore throat even though I don't feel sick. And no mental energy this morning -- ended up going back to bed. Oh, well. Guess I needed the shut-down time.

Stuff it would be really good to do today:

fudoshin: Day 3 : 2:10am
Please do not leave advice or feedback. Thank you. Prayers welcome.
12/4 I started with this plan to avoid dating sites and stalking
anyone I've had an interest in pursuing on them, including people from
work. And it's challenging.I shared in my other program channel about it in order to get inner peace, but I kept the obsession going about this person. It's not good...and it's a total waste of my time and resources. I wish I could turn it over, but I can't. I think it's b/c I expended so much energy on the person, I somehow wanted to make the obsession worthwhile, even though I know at least on *some* level that it's not a happening thing.
I'm trying to do the things I need to do in order to get well.
Battle plan
Simply put, I have an accounting final that I have been too mentally exhausted to study for. I also absolutely HAVE to be productive tomorrow. Here's the battle plan
(8 - 1)
Study homework, and figure out how to complete everything.
(3 - 7)
Kristin's House
(8 - 1)
Come home, and finish up whatever you need to finish. Know what you are doing in the homework.
(If you can't go to Kristin's house due to lack of productivity, don't go. She has seen you a lot recently, so there is no pressure. This is WAY more important.)
UGH!
It really, really, really 2would have helped me out if I had stuck to this plan. I did absolutely everything BUT do thgis. I even didn't go to Kristin's. specifically so I could get this done, just to end the night feeling very bitter and disappointed. I really, truly have to find a way not to do this to myself anymore. Procrastination has ruined this semester for me, and has ruined both today and tomorrow. I just couldn't find the drive to do it. I just want to quit. I feel like i've let myself, my friends that i should have hung out with today down because I am so addicted to this horrible disease sometimes. The only thing I can do to keep from going out of my mind with disappointment and despair is write another battle plan tomorrow. Thanks to my shortcomings today, tomorrow is going to be impossibly hard. I really am going to try to post things every day from here on. I go without posting, and I get into rotten, horrible thinking again.
