Another week nearly over

I don't mean the title to sound as if this is a drag. I am very much here of my own free will so no excuses here. But it is exhausting at at times. My biggest problem is dealing with the speed at which things happen outside of classes and the lack of space to sit down and take a break from it all. Having spent seven years developing that other side of my brain that does not need to lable things or get right answers, it is quite difficult to not get run over in rush and bustle and hassel of living in a world focused on the young.

My solution will be to find space in the cracks. To find a way of being at the centre of the storm yet unaffected by the storm. Now that I think of it it's a bit like being at home all with my family during summer except I have a few thousand kids of a certain age. That age where being where you are is only a prelude to going somewhere else and then the day is gone.

I must try and find some classrooms that remain open between lectures so that some space is possible. If the weather keeps up maybe I'll just go for walks. And thanks to who ever left the Maple lab open.
