I slept like one dead last night. Got my air conditioner fixed, which was a big part of it; I have a terrible time sleeping in the heat. But still, it felt gooooooood. I did not want to get up this morning, but now that I have, I feel good.
I have been dealing with feelings of existential restlessness, so I haven't been online very much. It's just been hard to sit at a computer and stare into the little screen. Admittedly, playing JRPGs on my PS2 isn't /much/ of an improvement, but I did clean the downstairs of the apartment, so that's promising. I also managed to get to the library and clean the downstairs bathroom. So, I must consider myself having been at least a little productive.
But still. I yearn for something to do. To really do, not just distract myself from what I'm not doing. I've seriously considered the whole Ph.D. thing; I didn't realize how much I missed research until I wasn't doing it any more. I'd probably have to take the GRE again, though...the testing place is hoarding my scores until I remember a confirmation number and a test date from six years ago (ain't gonna happen). And, to be honest, I should take it again /anyway/. When I took it the first time, I was really just futzing around; I had no intention of going back for a higher degree, so I didn't bother to study or, to be honest, even look at a practice test. My score got me into grad school okay, but I can do significantly better, particularly if I brush up on my math.
But, that's just one option.
