How not to manage research, schoolwork, fitness and social life

Wow, I'm so behind on each of those things. Well, not really school work since I'm acing my scientific writing class and I'm sure i'm doing well on the rest of my classes. I used to really focus on my classes, but it's been second nature as of lately to complete them on time. Research needs a bit more focus, I really do see that I haven't been ramping it up as I should have been. But I think after my talk with Megumi on tuesday, I should be steered back on track. I really just need to read more papers, specifically on cGMP/GABA and inhibition in invertebrates.


GSCB stuff has been busy as normal but now I'm faced with developing a conference. A freaking research conference! I have some experience of running a conference but in terms of developing a program, I'm completely lost. I should also be having that meeting this week too as well as trying to "offically register" the Graduate council of biology with the Student Union. Hopefully, Dr. G has completed his end.


Running has been great after I've been giving almost 24 hour access to a treadmill. So i've been running continually for a while until last week. Ah, a social life. I'm sure that has suffered as well.


Anyways, I'm going to try and get back everything on track. We'll see if I'll go insane first or i completely collapse from exhaustion.
