I really, really, really want there to be more work to do in the lab. I managed to milk a whole hour out of my job yesterday, but today all I got was fifteen minutes. At least in a week I might be able to very slowly start my actual experiment, which judging by last summer when I ran this type of experiment will take disproportionately large quantities of time for the amount of data I get out of it. It'll be boring, but at least I'll get something for my thesis out of it.
Also, I feel very proud of myself for remembering to eat. Going in to work for fifteen minutes is only slightly better in terms of making my routine work for me than not going to work or class at all, and I've been bad at remembering meals without external prodding lately. I managed three at reasonably well-spaced times today and did some basic prep work for stir fry later this week, which I am quite proud of. This is definitely an improvement.
(I would probably get more done in terms of cleaning my apartment and moving around and be better at remembering to eat if I spent more time at work. I find this somewhat aggravating--you would think that with "more free time" I would be able to get things done, but what happens is that the lack of routine and structure basically melts my brain and then I spend hours doing essentially nothing. This sort of thing is why I really, really hate vacations.)
