Obviously from reading my journal you know I am not the best at keeping up with things. Well, my life is just a roller coaster. I got reviews back for this article I co-authored on, but the reviews were conflicting. Then today, I got the proof for the poster I presented at AMCP and it was the exact reprint of the poster. Now, my department thinks it would be double dipping if I publish at both places. While I can see their concern, but I feel the paper I submitted was a methodology piece while the article about my poster is what we found in the study. Anyhow, I am disappointed since I want publications. Now I have to decide on one or the other.
I decided today to be not as depressed. I think it's rediculous that I am sleeping so much when I can be much more productive doing something else. (I have been sleeping on average 10 hours a day! Sometimes I just lay in bed for no reason since I am wide awake) There are many theories to why this may be...... we can blame on the atmosphere since Utah has the highest anti-depressant use, we can blame on birth control since there is like a minimal chance of being depressed, we can blame on my boring job since I don't have my data, we can blame on me losing interest too easily.... but I guess after blaming everything, what can I do? I can't change them now. So I figure I should just try to find more friends. The question is where?
My first inclinition is going to a coffee shop. People are always so quiet there and you can just start talking and see who respond. I can go to a bookstore and pick up a controversial book. People tend to like make a comment or two about it. I can sit on the train all day until I find someone interesting. Or I could just go to a park and start kicking people around, but that may get me beat up. Any ideas?

Try working more...be more productive. And get some exercise. The fact that you are productive and successful will make you more energetic and studies have shown that people who exercise on a regular basis have higher levels of endorphins which generally make people happy. The other thing you can try is getting laid which tends to make people happy too.
