It’s been a busy couple of weeks lately, buy I did want to take a moment to log the brief observation that living a sort of “dual” existence–in occupation and home–makes you feel as if you have neither. The level of disconnect is incredible. And it extends to identity, too: a dual identity implies, somewhat confusingly, that you have none in reality.
At some point, maybe sooner rather than later, I’ll have to make a clean break from one of the existences and focus on only one, if only for sanity’s sake.

Organic chemistry continues to be a thorn in my side–but this week the problem was being blindsided by an unexpected question on the quiz. Identifying functional groups in molecules == guh? Not prepared for that. I think this means I really have to buckle down. There’s no room for error, for slacking off at this point.
Biology–much more enjoyable than chemistry at this point. Don’t know why. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t have the effect of making me dumb as a post when confronted with study problems.
I have the feeling this would be much less stressful if I weren’t also trying to work full-time at a mentally demanding job.
