Just a brief update. For the last two weeks I have been going to bed at the earliest at 5 in the morning, sometimes even at 8am. I allow myself to sleep for 5 hours and then off to the lab again for another long night. I ve written up most of my Thesis (capital T, due to its importance and significance). Not been to gym, not out for a run, no drinks (which is good for health, but socially catastrophic)...
It is funny when in the early morning hours I take the bus to go back home from the lab, I get to see a different view of London, I had never had the chance to see before. When everyone else is asleep, it is all quiet out there, the buses are still running, the Royal Mail guys wearing their uniforms like soldiers waiting at bus stops to commute to work-sometimes they talk to each other just by identifying themselves by the common outfit- cleaners and newspaper delivery men already working, the sun is coming up, the pigeons are strolling around the streets to look for leftover food before the humans wake up...I am not the only one working these hours. With the only exception, when they finish they go for a good meal, a beer and a goodnights sleep, while I am still there writing up.
I should be finished soon though and I will be back to the land of the living. I was just wondering, due to overload of work, WHO IS GOING TO CRASH FIRST ME OR MY MACBOOK? We re both robust hardware with complex software running simultaneously, but who of the two of us, if any, make it to the finish unscathed? This bloody thing has already crashed a couple of times and it scares me it will die before we submit, gosh, these machines dont know the word perseverence...
Speak soon
