I'm really having a hard time finding the motivation to do anything. I should be at school working on my research, or getting ready to teach my class...but I still have yet to shower today.

I'm glad I got the internet back in my apartment, but it enables me to sit around and do nothing.

I never thought I would feel this alone living by myself. I guess I just took it for granted that I could always just go next door and talk to my roommate for a couple of minutes. I miss that.

I'm leaving this afternoon to go do a poster presentation on my research. I really don't want to, but my adviser is making me. I went last year and it was a total waste of my time. I have to drive an hour and a half to stand around in a lobby for two hours next to my poster, and then an hour and a half back. Last year only two people came up to talk to me about my poster. My research never really interests anyone at these conferences. I do work on conservation genetics...and most of the people just don't get it. I talk and give my shpeal, and they just stare at me with a blank look on their face.
