- Nosebleed today. I should've recognized that uncharacteristic pressure in my head as the perfect indicator everytime.
- Hair loss. I shrieked at the sight of more than a handfull of fallen hair in my hand.
- Never feeling full. My brain never got that signal to stop munching once I start.
- General tiredness. It's time to resume Rec'ing, I've neglected it this week and last. And with the amount of eating I've been doing, I feel more like an overgrown whale.
- The Dotty. I've never been this out-of-cycle for years.
R stopped by today, asked about some publication matter, and wrote something on my whiteboard.
"Como what?" I said.
"Spanish..."
It turned out he wrote "Hola, Como Estas?" Totally random.
"Seriously, I'm worried about finding jobs. Aren't you? But you don't look worried," I said.
The guy has always kept his cool: the TA job, the research, the conferences, the prelim.
"I am. But I'd been in S*******'s group. I've been trained hard. I can face anything now."
"Good for you."
It's hard to believe how a certain feeling has disappeared without I even realized it.
