catharsis

I love this feeling.  It’s the usual one you get after rushing around working for weeks, then suddenly, it’s over and you can relax.  We all know the state of mind leading up to it: nothing matters but studying/working/finishing six papers. You try to spend every waking hour (and some sleeping hours) being ‘productive’. You put all the unrelated things off until it’s over, no matter how small or simple they are, (like writing a blog post).   You multi-task everything - reading while walking, brushing teeth while code runs - I even have a labmate who eats soggy PB sandwiches in the shower to save time.

But then when it’s over , it feels so  good.  You don’t have anything that ‘has’ to be done, and you can go home to Canada to enjoy Christmas with your crazy family and friends.  Ok, now i’m talking specifically about my life. I’m sitting in a coffee shop in Toronto and my mind keeps trying to think of what urgently needs to be done right now, but the answer is: nothing.

So now i’m going to go do just that.
