rest [or lack thereof]

Yesterday and today I've been feeling a bit more tired than usual. Yesterday I attributed it to the lecture on approximation methods, today... I have nothing to attribute it to - at least nothing as obvious.
Since I've arrived so much has changed that it'd be difficult to attribute it to a single thing anyway.

I was running on "MIT time" so I had a hard time going to sleep before 2-3am when I was home (Chicago), then I came over and switched time zones (+7 hrs) and didn't sleep for a day and then slept for 7 hrs and then didn't sleep for 2 days (save a nap) and then there was the weekend... maybe it's the lack of sleep catching up to me, but that's not anything I wasn't used to in school.

Now that I think about it, though, I think the biggest difference may be the food. Except for the paella we made the other night, I haven't really had a good filling meal - oh yeah, lunch at tid is pretty sweet and only 2 euros, which is dirt cheap for the quality of the food we get. Anyway, aside from the one really good meal a day, I haven't really been eating much. I also ran out of power bars (which I brought with me from the states :p ) so now I don't have my random snacks anymore. I gotta go to a supermarket and buy fruit and other random snacks and find something other than sandwiches to make on a regular basis 'cause going out all the time's gonna get unnecessarily expensive fast.

I also miss working out. I miss the gym!! I haven't been in one in... 3 weeks? Man, I feel like I'm wasting away. I mean, I've been doing pushups and all that good stuff without weights, but now I feel like I'm going through some sort of workout withdrawal. Gotta add a gym search to my to do list.

Hmm, I just rambled on a lot, but at least it means I'm not sleeping, hehe. alright, I feel a little bit more alert now, hmm, I think now I understand why people here (and in all offices, really) go on coffee breaks so often. I guess I should've had coffee instead of juice.
