Sudoku may well be the best game ever. It's a great way to spend around 15-20 minutes away from stressing out. Being stressed out is not good for me. I tend to stop eating and stop doing my hobbies. I obsess and start doing things like checking college statuses and email 20 times a day. My phone's email "ping" has created a Pavlov dog response from me.
There's a top topic on the grad forum called "The silence is killing me!!" And it's true! I watch the results survey on that forum religiously seeing if someone in my major has already got an admit. Several have, especially from my supposedly safety schools, and it's depressing me. Am I to be rejected? Wait-listed? Is a professor deciding if s/he needs another student or has the funding for one? Would they just keep my application lying around, just in case they need some last minute students? And then reject you anyway? Do they not realize that this is a cruel form of torture?!!
The good news is, I finally forced myself to sit down and paint for an hour last night. I made good progress. Also, I do my best work when I'm stressed. It's good that this semester I've got a course that is quite an organizational handful (read: nightmare).
Sumo fighting robots, mini cars contest, labs in the machining shops, 3 different softwares, all to be learned and completed by fresh first year mech students in their Introduction to Mechanical Engineering. Great fun for the students. A lot of work for the instructors.
Keeps me busy. I also got a good deal of work done for that bioheat research today. I feel progress.
In unrelated news, I pulled out one of my beets today and ate it. It was huge! The size of a tennis ball, and a ton of leaves on it everywhere. It made me happy. I boiled it, ate it, and made a yummy salad with the leaves. Radishes, I'm looking at you next! Eggplant started flowering (Yay!!) so that means I'll have some eggplants within a month (they grow so fast).

Pics or didn't happen! BTW did you see the link I sent you yesterday? About the roof top garden?
ReplyDeleteAh yes the waiting. Life is so boring without it, too exciting with it. And I hear about stress, I also function well under stress, so much that I went to my colleague and told him "I can't work like this, we need weekly meetings and most importantly deadlines! I need those deadline".
Hope you hear something soon...
