Writing and exhaustion go hand-in-hand — Day 11.

I’m back from Warsaw, finally. My flight was only about an hour late, so I could deal with that. I visited some friends in Berlin, we made delicious gyoza, and I prepared to be productive the next day.

I am not going to lie, it was extremely hard. I don’t know what it is about, but after every flight I take, my brain just functions a little bit less, and I need some time to rest so that I can work again with full capacity.

However, I managed to write some protocols down and thus I could add some progress to my dissertation, but it wasn’t anything major! Let’s see what day 12 brings. :-)
