triggering Action Potential

Rest.

I have noticed that I sleep better these few days. I don't wake up in the middle of the night, I don't toss and turn as much, and I sleep sounded through. I wonder if my slight change in lifestyle (ie more exercise morning and night) and reduction in work-related negative stress are contributing to a better sleep, and not insomnia, or just not getting enough sleep.

I have always been proud of myself for not drinking coffee in the morning as a pick-up-er. I just get enough sleep and I'm ready to go.

Day 1 as scout

look here.

Fish Scout

Sushi scout. That's got a ring to it. It's also got free sushi. tomorrow marks the beginning of my 4 week tenure as one of the freelance sushi scouts for the Metromix.com. It should be fun. Looking forward to it--the sushi that is!

A New Phase

after some tumultuous times, I got a new start. Now, I'm part of the statistics, sharing sympathy with others grad students. It's always difficult to switch advisers, but like any form of relationships, when it gets sour, fix it, or try to stay away from it.

Ph.D., but no J.O.B.?

unemployment sucks! Perhaps I've been used to the idea of working and doing something with my time, that I find not having a plan for the day is not fun. Feel wasted away. Never want to be unemployed!

In a transition phase right now (for me). I'm switching my thesis advisor and working to put away the issues that once were dilemma. I hope now it's all a memory of the past.
