On Breathing In Distinct Steps
Posted by Kris on 21st October 2007
1) Sure, I can already believe that it is week 10 of this semester. I suppose everyone else cannot though. Only a few more weeks and I am halfway through with this academic year and only one more course away from my undergraduate degree. What a fantastic group of years it has been. I do, however, have a sort of dormant feeling as I await the coming of graduate school. Big changes smell of great excitement to me.
2) Unsurrounded by people gets to me a bit. I have no group of fire modelers or co-students heading in the same remote direction as me. It’s hard sometimes to work on the FDS project or fire models or even CFD basics when no one in the near vicinity is doing the same. Just me on my own, in my own lit up universe. Thanks to the internet, this is not a problem for me to contribute, but it is still a mental block in my day to day workings.
For instance, I have to wait until my local classwork and lecture work is done before I can get to what I really want to do, so I end up staying up late or working on this stuff at the end of my day. I can quickly see how something abstract like not having a group around me thinking alike has affected my sleeping habits, eating habits, productivity, even my daily schedule. Scary. I will take note and be careful in the near future and far-fetched future to set up my days to work as my mind and heart do.
