Some days are just not meant for you. It would have been better if you hadn’t gotten out of bed, and just let the world live without you for a day.
Sometimes this feeling lasts for weeks.
The last few weeks weren’t just not my weeks. I get up at around 10 am, I go to university, I study until 2 am, I go home, I switch off the lights, I fall sleep at 3 am.
My brain does not work properly because all I can think about is work. Recently, supervisor told me that I should go out and meet friends, or take a long walk, because constantly thinking about my thesis and staring onto the screen, is not good. It is best for my work, if I took some time off.
I looked at her and said: Easier said than done. If I walk, I think about the structure of my thesis and how I am going to link the different parts I have so far. When I meet my friends, everything we talk about is our thesis. There is no escape!
Also, I get passive-aggressive comments on my drafts from my supervisor. I think she is slightly annoyed with me and my work. I am sorry, when I am in my genius mode (which I usually enter after midnight) I write things that are so intelligent and abstract, that no one can understand it. Including me (when I am not in genius mode).
Also, a duck literally shat on me. I told my friend to control her ducks better.
Some weeks are just not your weeks. But it will be all over soon.
(it’s still one of the best year of my life, I just need to complain sometimes 🙂 )
