Restraint

This morning I worked on a couple experiments in the lab.  Collecting data from one instrument while troubleshooting methods with another.  Unfortunately I had to cut my work short as I had a meeting early in the afternoon.  Also, I did volunteer this evening after I finished on campus, which made the work day feel very short.

I don't know if it's my excitement and enthusiasm from the start of the week or a a feeling I didn't do enough work or maybe a sense of urgency, but when I got home from volunteer I had to fight off a desire to go into school.  Now suppressing an instinct to work sounds ridiculous, but it was after 8pm.  With the walk up the hill to school and such, I would have arrived pretty late.  Sure I could get in a couple hours, but where would that leave me for tomorrow?  Thus I held back (this is what I worked on last week) and I hope to carry over my energy to tomorrow and have a great day in the lab.
