I’ve learnt much more and done much more in this year thus far than I did for the entire of last year… and it shows. Not just in my bloat lab note book choke full of protocols and my ugly handwriting… but also in my dreams. Like seriously.
I’ve been going to bed earlier and earlier these days but it doesn’t seem to help. I wake up as late as usual (or in the middle of the night, and go back to sleep), and feel as tired as I did if I didn’t sleep as early… only difference is that I actually remember my dreams now. And it almost always have some sort of relationship to work. Even when I was on holiday…. there was even once I said “oh I’m not dreaming about work,” in my dreams. Only to realise that there, in the dream, I was standing in the lab, in my lab coat, and claiming that I’m not dreaming about work. Ridiculous huh?
And then there’s today… the 3rd day in a row with some work related dreams… From running out as a refugee to the neighbouring country ($$$ required per pax was the same as the laser license I need to apply for, and you get this card thing - my work access card - when they let you through), to journal papers, to trying out another job only to realise I’ve been tricked and it’s not a research job (dream ended with me saying, ok I’m getting out of here, I have a better job to return to tmr), to burning blue and white paper balls with bunsen burners!?!??! (if you’re wondering about the relation to work, a Phd student in the lab appeared in the dream).
Just too much seriously. Lol. Sleeping later seems like a better option now. At least let me dream of something else?
On the plus side, it’s July. Just two more months (I hope!) till I get a new phone and comp. I can’t even playback videos properly now… it tends to hang. Videos continue playing when I try to pause, and don’t start when I try to continue the playback. How will I be able to sub anything like this!!!?!?!? Gah!
Public holiday today yay! It’s the end of Ramadan. That means hopefully I’ll have more lunch buddies soon… then again that only works if I don’t go for late lunches. I’ve been so very lonely at lunch time now. And I’m about to get even more lonely after I’m back from holiday in Aug. I’m excited for the holiday… sort of. But even more eager for the Apple fall keynote to come. It’s been years of waiting after all.
Alright. Have a crazy number of stuff to watch, and posts to write… so I’d better get started!
