I think I've had too much tea today, as that I am currently exhausted, unable to sleep and harboring a strong urge to scrub out the kitchen and the bathroom. Unfortunately I do not have bleach, which, in my current state of mind, seems like a minor tragedy. (No, you do not understand. Detergents contain bleach won't do it. I'm at the mindset where I need to pour liquid bleach into a large container and soak things in it so they'll be nice and disinfected.) Clearly what I need to do tomorrow morning, in addition to going to the lab to put away my in situ stuff and stow my slides at -20C, is to buy bleach. And tea, since I'm running low.
I'm on the 6th draft of my qual now. Not counting all the v3.2, 4.5 and so on that I've taken to doing (because the comments between the PIs on what I should change are almost always different).
Oh God. I've wanted to sleep since 8 this morning. What is wrong with me?
Yes that's rhetorical.
On the bright side, my current bout of insanity should end before Thanksgiving?
(Admittedly it's not just qual right now so much as qual + four different experiments of mine that keep on failing + Stuff In Beijing. It's a lethal combination that managed to do what GRE + grad school app + scholarship app + senior thesis + classes failed to do two years ago.)
(And you know what? I still think grad school is most likely the best thing to have ever happened to me. Clearly I am insane.)

Talk about your marginal benefits outweighing the costs ;) Hope you get a good night's sleep.
