maybe i was naive .. but before meeting a few remaining colleagues that evening, i thought i could accomplish something in the afternoon.
how wrong i was.
to be fair, this wasn't in the plan. while i was away, i expected to
- give a few talks,
- read a little for collaborations, when i had the time,
- ask people what they've been thinking about, and so doing, learn a little from them.
my joint results can be improved .. which means another (short) round of rewriting and revision.
[see last post for a few details.]
[sighs]
so much for planning ahead.
so i spent that afternoon, trying to remember what i had written before, what needed to be changed for the better .. \-:
as for monday, i wrote it off.
i was able to catch up on some arguments i had read and learned before. for the most part, though, i found it impossible to focus on anything other than my immediate travels,
- waiting for the train to arrive,
- looking for the right subway train and station,
- shuffling through lines at the airport,
- wondering how late the bus will be, after all ..
perhaps all of those discrete moments of thought paid off, though. this morning i woke up, suddenly realising what i had to do, why it would work .. for the most part, anyway.
