A day in the life
Do you want to enjoy a typical day in my life? At least these empty days in spring break are like this. Come with me, over here, please. Sit and enjoy:
Lately, last weeks, the (self inflicted)-pressure to finish the dammed phd has increased. I've been feeling physical problems, shortness of breath, things like that. I went to the doctor, something that it is not easy for me, and even more difficult when I know that the examination may involve taking off my shirt (refer to this post). They ran several tests and x-rays. It seems that it's just stress (another cliche, aren't you bored?).
Ok, to honor the spirit of this week, as if I care... but, heck, here it goes. Contrary to the title of this blog, I have one "good" thing to say about this holidays: I read usually at bed, before going to sleep. I (re)discover the pleasure to read during the day, several hours straight. At the end, after reading, I worked nothing, as in the previous schedule, but I feel less guilty. Actually reading: "Geek love", very good. Anyway, the good stuff is the exception to the rule.
- 11:15AM: I wake up, sleepy, want to keep sleeping.
- 11:30AM: Turn on laptop and put the kettle on for tea.
- 11:45AM: Turn on TV and look for cartoons or similar things (actually I'm watching a lot of "Between the lions"). Start bouncing between reading blogs, mailing lists, feeds, watching the TV, sipping the tea. Dream about the whole day I have in front of me. I do this until I finish my tea.
- 12:15AM-17:00PM: Repeat previous routine (without the tea) over and over.
- 17:00PM-18:00PM: Lunch break, with net and TV, of course.
- ...3:00AM: the same, you get the idea.
- 3:00AM: go to bed, read a little.
