Feeling a mite stressed
Well after that great weekend away I’ve come home feeling more stressed than ever. About 4 hours after returning to the house I felt a weight settle onto me… school.
Things have been good with my current project, but I’ve realized over the last year of working on it that it is unlikely that my final thesis project will be along these lines. It’s just too hard to come up with hard cognitive evidence to back up my model, and I think that’s what the project will require.
Although it hasn’t been finalized yet, this tentative decision makes me feel good because it might lead to a more efficacious path to the finish. The short-term impact of it, though, is uncertainty due to the need to pick something to work on.
I wish I had the drive and organization of some of my colleagues who came to the program with such a clear sense of purpose. Seven years into the process and I still don’t have their sense of direction.
