In the mood
I am so not in the mood for work today having just got off holiday. It was so great to go on holiday and not worry about work - I totally didn't have any proper holidays while I was doing my PhD and this was the first time I've been abroad since finishing so it was extra nice. I had such a great time mooching about in the sunshine and eating loads of cake, cheese and ice cream. The weather was unbeliveably perfect, sunny but with a cool breeze so warm enough to swim outdoors but not get sticky and sweaty and minging. Hot temperatures don't agree with me and just send me floppy, whereas this holiday I got lots of sunshine but cool enough for going out and about and doing stuff.
Now I'm back and it's as grey, damp and depressing as ever. I've got heaps and heaps of work to do to try and figure out all my data and get some definite numbers out of it. I'm really bored of it now and want to move on to some new stuff, but need to get this finished off properly first. Also I've got railroaded into giving a talk at a research day thing organised by another faculty. It's one of those things I agreed to do as it sounds like it would be good experience for me but will be totally terrifying and stressful to actually do.
