A two-nap day...
Jun. 10th, 2009 09:56 pmI managed to lay down just over 10,000 target words yesterday (though a healthy chunk of that was the result of having a good translation memory (TM) database and a lot of repetitive text). Today, I have typed about 8,000 target words, with a far smaller chunk aided by my TM database.
I am thus attributing the fact that I have taken two 2-hour naps today to a combination of (a) having gotten up at 4 am, (b) fatigue from all the work, and (c) the "circadian" part of my brain still trying to adjust to a 10-hour time shift and happily abetting my conscious effort to sleep at what it still thinks is the 'proper' time, at least to a certain extent.
Having only shortly gotten up, I am pretty sure I can go for another several hours without pushing myself too hard, but I think I will force myself to go to sleep by midnight so as to get back in sync with local time.
In the meantime, though I may look at what I've translated so far today, I don't think I'm going to push myself in that direction, as I've pushed quite hard already. I accumulated quite a bit of French material during my recent trip, so I think I'll review it for a while.
That, and look for the little dingus that'll let me plug my 8 GB SD card into my VAIO (the slot on the side of the machine won't handle such a "large" card).
Cheers...
