I am so incredibly overwhelmed. I think it is going to be another late night at the lab, and I have been working all day. Things at the GSC blew up today with multiple sets of people very upset about multiple things, and I have do damage control and temper people, while trying to hold it all in myself and continue to be cordial and appear professional and open-minded when really I just want to blow up and scream back at people. I feel like everyone wants a piece of my time right now, and I don’t have enough time for even myself, so how can I possibly have time to give to others?
Liang is right. Last August was the same deal; he was there with me as I griped about orientation, research, my advisor, MIT, Kaplan, people, relationships, friendships, everything under the sun. Ironically, that “water water everywhere” post was from August 24 …. and today is August 24. Wow, for all the wondering I did about everything’s that’s happened this past year, I am today at the same state I was one year ago.
It’s funny how life works.
