Ok, let's be honest:

I've been having trouble later with getting up and getting to work. I could try to make a lot of excuses, but there is only one main thing I can say: I got in a big procrastination phase last week, and I even was in denial about it!

The due date for my main project is nearing, and I having trouble with the second part of it. The first part of the project was building a excel application. Ok, done. The second part is modifying another guy's computer model of a building, and using it in my own project. Since it's not a model I built, and that I'm am currently learning to use the software that's been used to build the model, it's very frustrating, I'm getting error messages I don't know anything about, and some numbers in the guy's model aren't adding up. So, I built up some important mental resistance about that.

So, since I seem to be wasting my time from getting discouraged when I try to work from home, I have decided since yesterday to go study at school. I know, it's a drastic mesure, one I don't necessarily like, but I've found over the years if I can't work from home, I just have to do it at school, even if it means spending the whole day there (and whole day I mean around 12+ hours). Plus, I get to see some friends during the day and eat lunch with them, so I can relax and have some fun also.

I'm not on the 5h30am schedule anymore. I had a setback about that. Right now, I'm more 7am-11pm, which is still good in my opinion, but I'm am working this week on getting back on that.
