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.

Right after the presentation

Way hey. The presentation went quite well. I think. I should have maybe looked a bit more at the people but it is sort of hard to do while explaining a crystal structure that's behind my back. I also tried to smile. I don't think my voice gave up at all. The big boss commented on my hand gestures after the presentation. Asked if I play the piano. I guess it is not just me when I think I should maybe lose a bit of the hand gestures at times. But in the academic world it can be seen as just a weird personality. That can't hurt now can it. right now I'm getting my "after the actual cause" nervousness. Lots of adrenaline I guess. I was a bit nervous while my boss was talking. My hands would like to move faster than I can type.

Luckily for me the weather is also clearing up so I might not get wet while biking to German class. It has actually never rained while I've been going there. Very lucky. ("knock on wood")

Going climbing tomorrow. Really waiting for that.

Is it bad if I spend 200 eur on aquarium things? I really need the most expensive of the lot. An external filter. I think I may get an internal one too. ("Might as well get everything new while I'm at it") Maybe I'll order tomorrow. I should have money. I have to go check.

    I was just telling mom yesterday how you're a really good public speaker. I guess she's never seen you going at it. :)
    I think 200 euro is not that bad actually. That's with all the fillings, right? Your fish need a x-mas present as well. ;) Of course you could very well do with just an aquaball.
    Um, gotta work...

    I knew, u excelled on that presentation! ...and all good presentators use hand gestures. :)

    200 euros for fish-equipment? Doesn't sound too bad.
