New Project Idea, New Energy

I'm not sure why, but the last few days have been very difficult in terms of motivation. Yesterday was particularly rough, and at the end of the day, I was tired and feeling down. Again, not really sure why. I was explaining the feeling and what I'd been working on all day to someone. As the conversation continued, this person got me really excited about a particular research project that I had hoped to do at some point in the future. But this person was encouraging me not to wait, but to pursue it now and gave me some tips for how to succeed, at least in the initial set up stage. By the end of the conversation, I was pumped about it, and I can feel that energy still today. I've got a little work to do early next week to get ready, and I've got a meeting Wednesday with someone that can really help me. It'll be interesting to blog after my conversation with that person to see what his reaction is.
