In the last year, I've been under the weather a lot. A cold here, an injured knee there, feeling tired, etc. I don't remember feeling sick so often in my undergraduate years.
Am I getting old or unlucky? Sometimes I wonder if there is psychology at work. When you're working to make deadline after deadline in college, there isn't time to think about being tired or sick. You just go. In grad school, all of sudden you have all this time to think. Much of this is good: I now exercise at least every other day, I read the world news, etc. But I also have more time to sit around and say, "I feel tired, do I really have to work?"
I guess what I want is a balance between switching your brain off and being mindful of everything around you.
