PhD phase - hanging belly - 10th month

After Evis recommendation I have decided to turn this blog into my thoughts and views on my PhD life. I am not sure in which language I will do that, though. But at least some people might get to know that they are not alone.

Sitting in the office and wishing I had data to analyze.
There is this time of boredom, I could be doing a million other things and use my time in a meaningful way, e.g. reading about fMRI, neuroscience, mirror neurons or at least some theoretical linguistic background.
And now I realize, I still have to read about the patients. I am supposed to study schizophrenic patients, too. And at least this time I got to spell schizophrenic correct on the first try! How do humans process language in natural contexts like story comprehension? What do schizophrenic (almost right this time, had to correct it) patients do differently and what cues do they neglect using?
Ok, and although I could be doing all that, I am not. Cause I feel there's nothing going on. And I can sense it, a stress period is coming, is coming, is coming, but it's not there yet. So, bored. And my supervisor is away, so no additional motivation, no specific tasks to get out of the way, just DULL. dull dull dull.
