I am once again stressing over a lab report.
Overdue: Lab report. Progress: Automated the coordinate-finding thing. All 200+ images now have some reference stars I can use. I have a feeling I'm way overcomplicating it though so I reached out to my lab partner to confirm I'm not missing something obvious. Otherwise I'll have to manually draw regions around each of the stars.
This week: Computational physics: low stress (doing well) Quantum physics: low stress (doing ok)
Next week: General relativity midterm (ultra high stress) General relativity assignment (high stress) I am not doing well in general relativity.
Tomorrow's agenda:
- My office hours shift (no stress)
- Quantum physics lecture (no stress)
- Work on lab report (stress! also need to manage distractions)
- GenRel office hours (low stress; the TAs for that course are SO nice)
- Go home and work on lab some more
Haven't been sleeping well lately. Adjusting to a medication dose change and I've been turning in much later but waking up before my alarm. I don't think I can justify going back to sleep at 7 AM, though, since I'm always up by then on workdays. I don't think it's healthy to sleep in on weekends.
Too much energy to go to sleep as early as I used to. Higher energy is an effect of the medication I'm on and I think the dose change is a possible reason. Could also just be high stress, not unusual for me. I have a drs appointment in 2 weeks so I can bring it up then.
