Marcela's Musing

Another day of restlessness and trouble focusing, another night of restlessness and inability to sleep on cue. A lot of stuff on my mind lately. My latest fixation was maybe applying for an MBA. Looking at the curriculum though, I think I'd be better off taking a few more classes, talk with more people, bolster my GPA and maybe get a couple of the faculty to support me. Business schools appreciate more experience anyway. Judging from Surabhi's workload, I don't think I could handle that in addition to GRA and HCI workload. I got back positive feedback and invitations to talk from Amy Bruckman and Al Badre so was excited that I might have opportunities for research. Manager at work was also very anxious about me staying there at least through the summer, if not longer, which is surprising considering that I don't feel like I've done much of anything. I'm still having the recurring worries about whether I should stay in Atlanta, feeling antsy when I can't talk to my friends, and wondering what I should do with myself.

Got an article on Mars mission published this week and offered up several ideas to my new editor so am definitely getting more involved with the paper this semester.
