Play Harder

There is a reason we chose this field, and it is the fun.

The minutiae that follow may not be, and we often have to foray into things we'd rather not be bothered about, because just the fun stuff rarely sustains itself. But from time to time we hit that fun bone, and we stay.

After all, it's the same everywhere else... probably.

And so once in a while we come across something that... doesn't tally with current priorities... but one that our hands itch to get on... And I am very much a creature of the moment, and indisciplinedly so.

I vaguely remember someone said something to the effect of: "Whenever you get the drive to study, do it. The motivation to learn is hard to come by." Second that.

Though maybe it just seems all the more attractive in the face of the alternative work which comes with the pressure of a deadline or responsibility.
