How much vacation is ok to take over the summer before my oral exams? I’m taking 9 full days to go home and visit my family right after the term ends, and there’s a possibility of another trip sometime during the summer with my friend Shannon, just for a few days. I think that’s ok. The problem is that the summer is supposed to fix all of my problems, research-wise. With classes finally over, I need to get most of the work on my projects done during the summer, and I’m worried about committing my time to trips, even though I also think it’s necessary to take a little time off. Am I worrying too much? Too little? I feel like I need to worry about it now because June will be here before I know it, and then it will be too late…but at the same time I don’t feel like I have a lot of time to think about this stuff. My head’s in Caltech-space all the time, and it takes real effort to get it out of there sometimes…
