So, yesterday morning, I had no summer research job lined up. By yesterday evening, I had THREE summer research jobs! (None of them are paying me, but still). I should get two first-author papers out of this.
 I'm going to do all 3, naturally. Is that my manic side speaking? I just can't choose between them....so I want to do all of them.

I don't think it is healthy to worry about whether your productivity is mania or not given you're able to accomplish the tasks! Good job getting the projects!

Hey! Great job getting first author on two of those papers. Are they just a few hours a day each? Can you handle them all? Don't let your mania make decisions for you, no matter how exciting it seems. I'm glad you have options, but I really have to warn you about taking Three summer jobs, tho, as mania tends to crash. You might want to pare it down to only 2 jobs so you don't burn out half way thru the summer. And choose the two you can still do if you do crash.
Take care of you~ Buggs
