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.

Leaving tomorrow

I bought a whopping two Christmas present during the weekend. This would seem nice since I only really had to get three (or four). The problem is that the other one is for me. I just can't help buying presents for myself. It is so easy. I know I'll like it. I'll spoil the surprise and tell you that I bought a board game for myself. So it is sort of like a present for the other gaming people in my family too (and whoever want to keep it for the next two months while I am still in Germany). And it only cost like 15 euros. Well I did not giftwrap it since I though it would be nice to play it even before Christmas just like I did last year. Now I just don't have presents for some people. I'm sorry. I'll go to the shops today too but I doubt I'll find anything. I do kind of have a good reason for not getting presents since I still had the headache on Saturday so I did not really go shopping. I just went to the supermarket and did not even buy anything proper to eat. Smart thinking. I think I am just so sick of all the things I can eat here so I just feel like eating nothing. Like today at lunch I had the biggest problems with actually eating my sandwich. I did not even have anything to read so I was just chewing away looking really bored.

Tomorrow I'll start heading for Finland. We're starting off driving in the afternoon towards Denmark. We will take one ferry in Denmark and then from Denmark to Sweden. We will drive through Sweden to Stockholm where on Wednesday night the boat will leave to take us to Turku. So after this I shall be in Finland around 8 o'clock on Thursday morning after which I will head for Pori. Very handily I will be dropped off right at home. What luck. I don't even have to drive on the way which just makes the trip all the less stressing for me. I'll just have to keep up the good spirit on the way. I know at least I won't add to the possible arguments. That is unless I get very hungry but even then I can control myself. Though hungry and tired may be a bad combination. But I have no-one to be difficult to so no problem. (One good thing about not having a boyfriend - there is no-one to be difficult to. One can only be difficult to people who actually care.) But yeah it should be an interesting (and long) trip.

Oh if someone feels they would like to see me while I am in Finland feel free to let me know. I, of course, want to see everybody but with having lots of people to see and things to do I might just forget people or maybe I am just not sure whether you want to see me so I end up not calling. I'll be in Pori for most of the time but the plan is to head to Jyväskylä after the new years celebrations. I will be there until the afternoon of the 4th. And then I'm off again.

I think I shall leave early now. I just have nothing to do. Or maybe something but starting anything new is really not wise since I will only work like half a day tomorrow. And besides, my mind is already on Christmas and going to Finland. I can't concentrate. Off I go.

    Have a great trip!
    I agree on the being difficult thing. Once you (a passive, not a direct reference to Gini) start caring you start being difficult. Like before it didn't matter what they did and suddenly every little thing not gone your way is like a big deal. I hate it. It's like the smallest things sometimes too. Like, I dunno, peeling a banana wrong. It's not like one should care how other people peel their bananas but once you're a woman in a relationship it seems to start mattering. Hormones. ;)
    Call me when you get to Finland! We'll figure out what to do with the aquarium stuff...
