First of all, earlier in the week I had a day that Dan might find praise-worthy: it started around 9PM on Monday night when I was working on my climate change and agriculture report for the research team. I finished working at 7AM, slept for an hour, got up, ate breakfast, showered, went to statistics class from 9-10:30, attended my research team meeting from 10:30-12:30, searched for GIS data from 12:30-1:30, ate from 1:30 to 1:50, sent a fax, went to studio from 2-5 during which we hashed out our performance criteria for our site typologies and infrastructure technologies and assigned roles for the book production, met with my GIS team from 5-6:50 to work on our project, ate from 6:50-7:00, attended my responsive cities design seminar from 7:00-9:00, answered e-mails from 9:00-10:00, did some reading, and went to bed at midnight. So that was 27 hours of straight, intense work, interrupted only by an hour of sleep, an hour and a half total for 3 meals, and a bit of travel and hygiene time.
Today was less crazy, but still intense. I went to statistics, wrote some e-mails, searched for more GIS data, met with my research advisor, called some people in to get more data, had studio from 2-5, went to an international conflict resolution training from 5-6:30, went to a research team meeting from 6:30-8:30, and I've been answering e-mails and preparing for tomorrow since then.
