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.

The presentation tomorrow

I've got my presentation tomorrow. I only got nervous yesterday when I was actually looking at the slides at home and thinking about what I'm going to say. It was weird having my hearth beating faster and feeling nervous right at home at "my" desk. (It might also partly have been the coffee I had earlier that day.) Today all I did was draw structures for the show till lunch and time passed really fast. After lunch though I have not gotten much done. Though I don't really have anything to do but practise what to say and doing that in the lab seems weird. I think I shall go home a bit earlier and try to practice before German class.

I was talking with Maria on the phone yesterday and thinking I should open my voice up before the show just to not have any voice problems. As in with the muscles and everything. As a singer she told me of a good exersice I tried out yesterday. It worked. I'll have to do lots of "rrrrrr"-ing tomorrow morning. The thing I noticed that I've actually noticed myself having more problems with controlling my voice. As in it comes out too quiet. I was thinking about this yesterday and came up with the probable reason. I don't use it. As in my voice. I mostly just talk to myself and that does not require loads of volume and if I did do it loud other people might think me weird. Maybe to combat this problem I will talk louder to myself at home. The neighbors might just think I have visitors. Of course the other thing to do is to talk to other people. I may have to work on trying this out too.

But yeah. Wish me luck.
(Oh for the people that care, here is some places and times: Turku harbour 23.12 morning, again Turku harbour 4.1 evening.)
