Reflections while doing some work

So I'm sitting here working on this lab report that was due last week. The lab was "Low Temperature Transport" which basically means studying how things conduct at low temperatures. I feel very little motivation to do this. But I need to prove to myself that I can (which is to say I need to learn how to...) do even things that are really crappy for the right reasons. Everyone has to do this. This is a large part of what it means to be a mature adult. This is what is necessary for me to be able to make meaningful commitments at all, whether it be to God, to a wife and children, to a church, to a discipline, to a career, or to myself. I accept that I cannot avoid this no matter what I choose to do in life. So no matter what else I feel this is useful and I must devote myself to doing it to the best of my ability.

And it is done! Thanks for listening.
