The Girl who Cried 'Wolf'

Dear Self,

Do you remember that time when you spent all your time in the lab to meet a deadline?  And how because of that, you avoided doing anything extraneous?  And how no one really thought that life was different for you? And they asked to you to concern yourself with normal stuff?  Rather than the thing that literally occupies every waking thought?  And how you might be pulling your first all-nighter in graduate school?

When you get past this impending terrifying deadline, no matter what the outcome, make sure you stop telling everyone that you're busy...because apparently they've already stopped believing you.

Love,
Me

Since we're on the subject of wolves, here is my favorite one:

Dear Self,

Remember when your other favorite wolf (Hasebe  the car) broke down on your way to pick up some terribly-bad-for-you-dinner so you could have that all-nighter? So instead, you went home and got a few hours of sleep?  Sometimes, that dear little Kato of yours has more sense than you give him credit for. 

Love,
Me
