Mostly moved in to the new apartment. Still sleeping at the old one, since we've not assembled my new bed yet. Hopefully that will happen today.
Yesterday was my last session with Therapist. It was sad. She said a great many nice things about me and gave me a hug. I'm bad at good-byes.
I've been cranky lately. Everything feels blah and awful. I'm anxious. Food is bad and work is bad and moving is awful. The new place is nice; I just really hate the hassle of moving.
We have a lab meeting next week minus all the crew that's out in the field. I feel like I need to have something concrete to show...after all, I have been working all summer right? Why don't I feel like I've accomplished anything?
I fail as a grad student. :/
Maybe tomorrow I'll get some more work done. Maybe tomorrow I'll have results.
Research isn't always concrete right? It's the action, the seeking, the patience that creates success in research, yes? Just because you don't have a black and white *thing* to show for your efforts doesn't mean your efforts weren't a success. You don't fail as a grad student so much as you win at being a scientist.
ReplyDeleteMoving always sucks, but being in a new place is almost always refreshing. :)
