Too Many Things

"...  I am interested in far too many things for my own good" I found this quotation from Bruce Edmond's blog, which pretty much describe my own situation. I am bored with my PhD, found it not interesting anymore. I want to move on and the cleanest way for doing it is by doing it as fast as possible. But apparently the bohemian part of me refused to work in a rationale way. Although I know I need to finish it before everything start to fall apart, I think the damage was already there. So what I am doing right now is just running away. Every time I start to open the word, my brain just go blank. I can still read papers even involve in discussion and write what people called as smart stuff, but once I return to my paper I cannot think about anything.

So now I return to my old style. Trying to take things easy and find an academic distraction than actor-network theory. I found my academic passion again in complexity theory. I read 'The New Kind of Science' when it was just published, so probably around ten years ago, and since that moment, I know that I was in love with complexity. As people say first love never dies.
