Leaving Michigan

My life always seems to be divided into neat little time periods of around 6 months. The last 4 months have definitely been one of those periods. Usually, my life is separated into where I live, this time it was what I was doing. I am finishing my research contract. I still have a to finish, but most of the work is done and now it is a question of putting the finishing touch on everything. I was lucky enough to be able to work from wherever I wanted to. I had the chance to go to Michigan, then Montreal for a week, then Moncton, then Montreal, then Sao Paulo, then Michigan. the travelling was fun, so was the work. Except that it was incredibly repetitious. I also have a problem with sitting in front of a computer screen with no human contact for 6-10 hours a day. I don't like what the computer does to my brain, it is very unhealthy. I become unfocused, I waste a lot of time because the work is repetitious, and I don't think linearly, instead, I think about many broken little things that interconnect. Translation work is a lot easier, I get to let my thoughts flow and just change the words. Writing is more gratifying though because I get to input my ideas.
It will be good to be unconnected and talk to people most of the day for the next 6 months. I look forward to the next 6 months, but I know that in my memory the last 4 months will be pleasant. Just like most of my pas life. I am so lucky really. I hope to pass that luck on to others.
