I'm trying to cut back down on my caffeine intake now, since I figured if I'm going to suffer from jetlag-induced headaches I might as well get all the headaches over with together. At this stage it mostly means that I'm switching from mochas to black tea and I'll hopefully switch to green tea, to decaf, by next weekend. Tazo's assorted tea mix is proving to be most useful. I'm currently at the "Awake" stage, which I am probably drinking with far too much sweetener but oh well, I need the extra boost of energy at noon-time.
It is currently 3am in Beijing right now. I am hopeful that I can get through the week without resorting to a stop at the drugstore for chemical aid (though it makes a lot of sense now why so many headache meds make me sleepy). I have picked out (and gotten replies back confirming) the people for my qual committee. I am caught up on my chores (well, all except the vacuuming, but it's 86F today and I think I can excuse myself for a week), my emails, and I have discovered that I've been accepted for the genetics training program, which means I will actually have financial support my third and forth year (the departmental stipend ends in September, the PI of the lab is responsible for our stipend the second year). My choices right now are either to work on my qual draft some more or go out and present shop (oh God I'm behind schedule for this, eek). I think I'll go present shopping because: 3am and if I'm out I won't fall asleep. Unlike the process of working on my qual draft. Also, it's one of the two things left that's still behind schedule.
Not bad, all in all.
Might still need more tea, though.
