More Gym, Art and Research

 Did double Combat and Pump on Monday and that was pretty alright. First double for the new year, and getting back nearly to my pre Christmast weights. I think by next week I can get back to my regular weights, and hopefully from there get pushing up again. First time back doing Combat, my hits were really weightless, now at least a bit more. Also getting a bit more flexible, need to get into Balance again. Have not gone to an Attack or RPM yet, but will soon, and also add back my Sunday runs. But have promised to play soccer on Sunday afternoons, so not sure how that will work out. And maybe kayaking this or next Sunday? Mmmm, will see.

My favouritest drawing ever! Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh I shall paint my own one day. Well, try anyways...Getting into drawing more these days. Better start getting on with the next drawing before the deadline. Somehow having a deadline makes me want to procrastinate more. Plus I have gotten books on drawing techniques, and also a book on Van Gogh's art. It is amazing, I shall try to emulate I like his drawing and painting style. But I shall complete this one piece first then start experimenting more.

Talking about deadlines, I just realized my deadline for PhD completion is July 2012!!! I really need to cut back on the tutoring, and put more time into my research. Weird that I am at the halfway point and I now only seem to have an inkling of what I am supposed to do. Maybe I am a slow starter, or maybe that is how it is. Anyways, I will have to work doubly hard now. I want to think of study as now a thing I do as passion, I now shall attempt study any given moment and put in the same passion into it as my other hobbies. It is getting quite fun at times this work. It is frustrating too when things are difficult and don't go well, but I am being the chance to learn as much as I want now and I'm being paid to do it. So I don't know what more I could ask more. Should just count my lucky stars. And hopefully my hardwork at the end of the PhD would pay off, really hope to get a postdoc position and continue with more research. Hopefully also I could be involved with more practical applications of the research. Back to studying now. Though it is Chinese New Year's Eve, well I don't really celebrate anyways. Alrightey, doodie. Monkey bananas. The big oinkity oinks and blurb the blurb. What? Nothing. Really? Yes. No. Maybe. What. I don't know. STOP PROCRASTINATING, go study. Ok. Good. Bye. Ok. I said bye. Ok. Shit, go study. Ok, ok. I'll go to sleep. Good night...
