Long day again

Today i woke up at 5, to prepare for a 10-hr long experiment. It's lunch time now and i'm eating alone in the lab, while waiting for the incubation. Gulping down a big bowl of ban mian. Feeling sleepy and grumpy, hmmm. Still have ballet class tonight, which i'm not gonna miss. One, it's the last lesson before christmas break. Two, i really enjoy this class, the teacher is instructive without being too critical, and always humorous.

My break from apps turns out to be longer than i wanted. Once i stop writing, i also stop caring altogether, it's hard to get back into the flow again. I've been procrastinating for what seems like an eternally blissful period of time. My inertia is too high (and so is the mass of my lazy bottom), i need a big force to accelerate.

I talked to a postdoc in my lab early this morning and listened to her complaints about labbing, the futile sacrifices she's made in terms of family and social life. I feel bad for her, cos she's a very sweet-natured and demure person, unlike Mr. O who's more of a pushy go-getter. Her complaints also aggravated my grumpy mood, making me even more worried about my doomed prospect.

Can't wait till holiday!!! I wanna go back to my family, i wanna stay at home all day long and entertain myself by aimlessly watching soap, or animals, or whatever.
