Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

Questions

Is it approriate to eat tortilla chips at lunch and explain it by telling oneself that "they have protein"? Was is smart of me to enroll on a German course that will take 3 nights of the week for the next 3 months starting next week? Will I have any freetime left? Am I going to like the teacher? Why did I feel silly turning down four different kinds of grilled meat yesterday? Should I really stay here for January and February? Why do I sometimes feel like I want a cat? Where did all my saved up money go? When I come to Finland for Christmas what will I wear and will I freeze to death? Why did I not take my winter coats to Pori instead of leaving them in the cellar in Jyväskylä? Is my family going on a ski trip this winter and if I stay here for more time will I be able to come? Are any of my little froggies alive? What is that brown solid stuff that forms when I make tea? Why does none form when I make coffee? Why did my alarm clock, phone, freak this morning? Why did it insist I had had to press the snooze buttom twice when I had not done so, when waking up to the traffic to check the time? What am I going to have for dinner today before going off skating?

    Yes, vegetarians need protein. And salt too. The course sounds good. There will be other people there whom you can then go out with after the course and the course can most likely be counted as socializing. So that answers the free time question. Most likely if the course costs something they will also have a nice teacher. Like at the gym.
    Grilled meat is so good to everyone else, one sometimes thinks of missing out, but really propably not. I'll ask my magic 8-ball about Jan and Feb. a cat is like a dog with less hassle. You spent it on clothes and other neccessities and check the rentee is paying. You can wear my coat, and by the looks of it it will not ever get cold here again. You only see Pori in the summer and thought you would need the coat more in Jyväskylä. I dunno about skiing, hopefully in the spring. ;) Froggies, could have taken them too. :) The brown stuff in annoying. It doesn't stick in the case of coffee because of the lipids in coffee I think. You must have been answering the phone in your sleep. And finally, ravioli.

    All good questings, I'll consult the oracle and answer them all!


    Is it approriate to eat tortilla chips at lunch and explain it by telling oneself that "they have protein"?
    - Oh yes.

    Was is smart of me to enroll on a German course that will take 3 nights of the week for the next 3 months starting next week?
    - Studying is always smart.

    Will I have any freetime left?
    - Propably not. but free time is overrrated anyhow.

    Am I going to like the teacher?
    - it doesn't matter.

    Why did I feel silly turning down four different kinds of grilled meat yesterday?
    - It is silly to turn down edible food, especially free food. But think how silly you'd have felt if you had NOT turned them down...

    Should I really stay here for January and February?
    - You'll know when the time comes.

    Why do I sometimes feel like I want a cat?
    - Even though cats are less companions than dogs and they're more independent and less reliable - companionship is always nice.

    Where did all my saved up money go?
    - You spent it, remember? And had a blast doing it ;) Money is saved so you can spend it later, no explanation is necessary here.

    When I come to Finland for Christmas what will I wear and will I freeze to death?
    - Looks like it'll be a warm winter during Christmas, don't worry. Lots of wood to burn.

    Why did I not take my winter coats to Pori instead of leaving them in the cellar in Jyväskylä?
    - This is a logistics problem. Logistics are always difficult.

    Is my family going on a ski trip this winter and if I stay here for more time will I be able to come?
    - Ski trip will most likely take place. Hope you'll be able to come.

    Are any of my little froggies alive?
    - Sure, they've propably made more little froggies.

    What is that brown solid stuff that forms when I make tea?
    - it's called dirt, comes from the tea leaf (or your sandwich).

    Why does none form when I make coffee?
    - coffee is made out of beans not leafs. different structure.

    Why did my alarm clock, phone, freak this morning?
    Why did it insist I had had to press the snooze buttom twice when I had not done so, when waking up to the traffic to check the time?
    - Lack of mosquitoes (see my blog).

    What am I going to have for dinner today before going off skating?
    - A nice sandwich with some tea. And tortilla chips.

    It said "looking good". It also said "looks good to me" when I asked about my new hair-do and it said I would get the job I got and so it is quite credible. Even though it is not the original mattel version.
