not so much angst as nervousness

[solarbird]

Got a decent amount of stuff done today, but not as much as I'd wanted. I'm now spending much, much more time than is probably appropriate for the amount of material I've actually put down on email to a research professor at Georgia Tech about wearables stuff. I have deep levels of anti-confidence about this, which makes me feel very strange when trying to approach anyone to talk at all about it, possibly because a lot of it seems very obvious to me, so it must be very simple, and therefore I'm a gobot for not realising that, even though nobody's publishing much about it and the people I talk to about it in CS generally just kind of go "...uh?"

Not that it isn't a lot of work to try to see whether it could work, regardless. But I feel that I'm very late onto this bandwagon even if nobody has really heard of it anyway. So I'm trying to deal with the thoughts of both being late and very, very far behind, while also having ideas that nobody else seems to be talking about, at least not in journals I found.

Plus there's all the "exactly how do I make graduate school work physically, what with most people who care being far away" thing. To wit: AGH.

Stupid hard choices. Here, have a flower picture. ECUs are fun.
