Because getting back to work wasn't hard enough

I'm already struggling with the motivation to get up early to go to the office in this first full week back to work. Now add on the maze I need to navigate in order to get to the office this week... For whatever reason, they are needing to re-tile the floors in this BRAND NEW BUILDING (and when I say new, I mean it opened just 6 months ago!), and they thought it would be ok to do this now since classes are not in session. Good thought, except that people such as myself still use the building, and as I am a student they refuse to give proxy access to the back stairway like they do for the rest of staff. Earlier in the week this meant that I could simply go in through the physics building next door and go through the connecting bridge, which conveniently comes out on my floor anyway. However, since yesterday, they have been doing work on the stairwell that I must cross to get to the biology offices, so I had to go through Physics but then go upstairs to the floor above mine, through the medical school labs, through the medical school offices, down the back stairs, and then over to my office...I think I've just confused myself trying to explain that...

Anyway, just got out of a meeting with my supervisor, and my brain is spinning again. After worrying about not getting my ethics forms done, I'm now very happy I didn't put any time in to that because it seems as though my research may be changing... I'm still kind of doing the same thing, but the direction is changing. So far, I've really just done a broad literature review of a bunch of factors in treating/medicating children with psychiatric illness. But when it came time to really figure out how interviewing/surveying people (students, psychiatrists, other healthcare professionals, etc) would fit into what I'm doing, it started making less and less sense. To tie it all back together, I'm looking more at focusing on ADHD or depression in pediatric populations. The hard part is choosing which one, because both are so interesting and would give my project a different spin. But I can only do one, especially because they would be so different. Perhaps I'll choose whichever one is more relevant to everything I've done so far so that I don't have to throw as much out.......

I think I need a vacation. Again.
