Hello all. This is Saturday’s update, but I’m actually writing it Friday afternoon: tomorrow will be busy. To take the heaviness of the last two posts down a notch, I want to talk about something that happens to all of us, and to me about an hour ago: I could not think of what to do. I have reached a point of pause in a large project I am completing, and I am not scheduled for work this afternoon so my options are pretty much endless. How is it that I could not find anything to do?
So what did I do? Of all things, I sat down and thought about why I could think of nothing to do. And, as it quickly became apparent, this was not at all the case: I was thinking of several things to do, and systematically rejecting them. I thought about finding a party for tomorrow (today), but hesitated because I haven’t seen these friends for a while, I don’t like situations where I don’t know many people, and I haven’t completed my costume (out of a desire to not spend money). I thought about working out, but I was feeling lazy. I thought about embarking upon the next stage of the project, but I want to talk with my advisor before proceeding. And the list goes on.
