Late Night Snacks

It's been a long day. I couldn't get my study mojo on. And I felt uninspired. I wondered what I was doing, spending all day reading and writing. I felt tired. Not sleepy tired, but tired of "all of this" which is school work. I realized " all of this" was going to stretch on for another 4 years. So I watched some online television and zoned out for a while.

Later in the evening I decided to read a little bit for an upcoming literature review. I found an article that I had downloaded last week which I had forgotten about, and finding it tonight was the deep breath that I needed. I felt inspired, I heard myself hum a lot during my reading. I won't go into the details of the article, but I will add that it felt meaningful. Academic publishing sometimes feels forced, maybe meaningless, then there are those gems that really speak on so many levels, and I found one of those gems tonight.

I'm enjoying a late night snack, food and thought. I got one big draught of literature into my head before the night ends. Pistachios and higher education. Yum and yum.
