Sunday, 26. August 2018 :: I had a good morning, got up around 6:30, made myself a big jug of green tea, did some yoga stretches, watched some youtube and found the motivation to actually make a trip to uni.

The whole friday I have been stressing over not having organised all my samples that I have worked up in the lab in the course of this month. It’s already some 70-100 little vials and I don’t know which box contains which samples. This has been freaking me out, so I made a plan to come in, take some time and sort through all of those little vials.

It took about 1h, maybe a bit more, to put labels on them, but I now have the peace of mind that I wanted, knowing where I stored what. It makes a huge difference to me. I might be a bit overshooting it in the organisation department, but that’s just how I am and it will probably not change.

14.07.2017 ::  Started a new notebook to conquer my collection and bring all those notebooks to use. They’ve been waiting long enough. This one will be dedicated to collect information on Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian geologic formations around the world, how to get there, what lithologies they show, how thermally mature they are, what fossils we might find in there. It’s a heap of tedious work but it needs to be done and will be an amazing collection in the end (I hope).

Last week I was in Florence and attended my first conference. I must say, it did a lot for my motivation. Before I left, I have felt rather depressed about life and my choice of pursuing a career in academia. Now, after reflecting on my work, presenting my projects to esteemed people of the field and exposing myself to criticism, I scooped up an incredible amount of motivation. 

This upcoming week will be stressful. I cannot wait until october starts, really.
