two sleepless nights can turn you into a wreck, believe me. this happened to me on wednesday and thurday… i simply could not sleep. each time i was about to fall asleep my heart started racing like mad and i became more awake than i wanted to be. i virtually rotated in bed, sweating like i just rode 35 km on my bike in the blazing sun. it was simply frightening and i could do nothing about it. just waiting until morning comes and trying not to panic! and the worst part of that insomnia is that i cannot explain why it happened. am i about to break? is the whole PhD thesis stuff getting too much?

Saturday, December 6th, 2003return to Freud
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2003it’s time to return to Freud. yes, good ol’ Sigmund Freud. ordered two books today and was suprised how cheap they actually are compared to other academic books i recently bought. in a way it is more than logical to read Freud again since Lacan’s theories (which i am going to use and apply widely in my thesis) are all based on Freud. another trivial fact: browsed the Google directory on psychoanalysis and found only nine links under the subcategory Freudian, seventeen under Lacanian and 65 under Jungian! that suprises and puzzles me. well, i consider myself a Freudian / Lacanian… maybe i should really catch up on some readings on Jung… judging by what i’ve heard so far about him and his theories… i guess i’ll stick to Freud and Lacan.
