I don't want to study insects anymore 0 ▲ Topopa 1 hour ago · Life · hide · 0 comments It's been a whole year. I've been unemployed and I dived into entomology. I studied insects for 5-10 hours everyday, just for fun. I bought books, a stereomicroscope, some chemicals and tools. I collected 200+ specimen, some of theme rare and scientifically interesting. I built connections with other entomologists, some of them being experts in their field. I think I'm done. A year-long hyper-fixation vanished. I don't know, I still have specimen in the freezer to process as well as data to enter. I thought I needed to take care of the stuff in my freezer before collecting new stuff, but I never did. It's been roughly a week. The thought of opening my collection box gives me nausea. Maybe the smell of decaying animal doesn't go well with pregnancy sickness. I'm feeling good though. I feel kinda guilty walking through the giant office my partner built for me in the main room of our apartment. But overall, I'm feeling good. It's refreshing to have normal hobbies, taking time to dabble… No comments yet. Log in to reply on the Fediverse. Comments will appear here.
