onefixedstarI went for dim sum this morning with MasseyPrincess, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thoughtfreely, and another friend. Dim sum tends to be a bit of a challenge for me since I don't particularly care for seafood, but there were a surprising number of non-seafood dishes available today, which made me happy. Afterwards, we wandered through Chinatown for a bit and I managed to find some jellies to buy. The jellies are exciting both because they're difficult to find and because, unlike the kind I usually buy that have bits of coconut in the middle, these ones have bits of fruit matching their flavour. It was a lovely break from the week of stress, but now I'm back working on the scholarship application that was due three days ago. (I do have a bit of an excuse in that I lost the password to my account and couldn't get hold of the help desk until Saturday, so I wasn't able to print it off.) Forunately, no one was going to look at them over the weekend, so I think I'll be fine as long as I have it in tomorrow morning. But of course, that means another late night. I think the problem is that I have no enthusiasm for the subject I'm trying to write about. But then, these days, I can't seem to summon enthusiasm for much. Certainly not for any potential research project. I'm not sure if it's depression, exhaustion, burnout, a sign that I'm looking at the wrong fields, or an indication that I don't belong in graduate school. Whatever it is, it worries me a little. I want that enthusiasm back! No worries, though--I'm not doing to drop out. At least not yet. I need to get through my current crisis before I can make any decisions about my future; I don't think I'm in any frame of mind to do it now.
(Oh, hey,slice_yoink's show last Wednesday was excellent! I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.)
