So yeah on yesterday and on sunday I did nothing, most people are still in school and what not, and with nothing to do and some homework to do, i decided to start on my research project for fish pacs. Needless to say i absolutely hate research papers and projects, I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but I find it a HUGE pain in the ass looking for articles relevant to whatever the hell I’m researching. My ability to research/ hoard information sucks, unless everyone else is having this problem. The last night (and some of sunday night) I stayed up until 2 am getting frustrated and angry at how difficult it was to find articles for my topic, what’s worst is that I require two peer reviewed articles that come from journals, but the problem is while using the school database i couldn’t find anything useful or relevant. I don’t know about you guys but I for one do not subscribe to and read “academic journals” fir pleasure, neither am I willing to pay $25 for a single article (that I might not even use!). So I spent this morning, waking up at 11 doing the same exact thing I did the pass two nights. And that’s about all I did, because I kept switching up my research focus (oh fyi im doing research on soupfin shark fisheries, i was being bipolar about whether to choose australia, south america, or new zealand) because I could not find enough articles for a specific region. i think I’m sticking with new zealand though…This week isnt shaping up to be as rejuvenating as I hoped. Especially since last week was a string of failures that are making me freak out. *sigh* When am i ever gonna get some rest and happiness?
At least I ate lots of sushi today and had some nice conversations with a friend, which helped me keep my sanity intact while i was researching (very inefficiently, but I could care less). :)
I think I’ll just get some more sleep and take it easy until thursday or even friday. I just need to stop worrying so much, its starting to be detrimental…
Hopefully tomorrow will be awesomer than today and yesterday, and I’ll actually go out and do something other than do homework and stay on the computer. (Just realized I forgot to practice piano today, darn, can’t play now since brother is sleeping)
