How do you celebrate success?
Over the past couple of weeks, I was a lot under pressure to complete major studies. I am usually not posting much about my work, but these were really major projects.
There was this one cross-regional and highly visible work, which also brought me to Hong Kong.
Next, I also worked on a project that involved a deep understanding of the chemical industry.
Actually, there are no such things as "being under pressure". Not, when the projects are fun. And fun is when it involves the ability to learn new things.
Fun is also to operate outside my own comfort zone.
To know that I cannot afford to deliver something that is not 100% sound, safe, and of highest quality drives me to a 150% performance level.
This is when the hours just fly.
When a project is completed and submitted, I feel the emptiness. Something missing, yearning for something. I am not able to start something new, straight away. I need a couple of hours or even a day to rejuvenate. This is also enjoyable - but I am waiting for the next big bang.
And when it comes, the adrenaline starts rushing again ....

Some people are so energetic. =) Within 2 weeks, I had to give a lecture and had 4 essays due. On top of that I had a midterm and an upcoming oral exam. I'm already almost dead. LOL. I've reached the point where I'm like.. I don't care. Just give me the C+!
