I have just finished another draft of a scientific poster for a conference which I am not attending. I just feel so exhausted, standing by the windowsill, enjoying the night breeze with K's Choice's 20000 Seconds playing in the background. My mind is quite numb for the moment; my feelings a jumbled-up emotions ranging from melancholy, frustration, disappointment and a touch of pessimism for what lay in the future.
I guess I'm mostly bummed over the fact that I wouldn't be able to go to Thailand, due to financial constraints and delay in processing the documentation for the application and whatnot. Flashback to when the news that my supervisor said I will be going to attend the conference; it was a very happy and positive day for me, as it was totally unexpected. Oh well. I suppose it is just not meant to be. In the consoling words of my father, 'there's always next time.' Let's hope so.
