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.

Post number 99: Random happenings

This morning as I was putting on make-up I just had to sneeze right after putting on mascara. Well anyone who has ever done that will know what happened. I had mascara all over my eyes and not much left on my lashes. I was like "great". It was really silly and no there is no special reason for me to write about this.

I saw this dream I couple of nights ago. In the dream I was going to participate in an election of some sort as in me running for some position. There problem was that I had to choose a political party that I would run with even though it wasn't like an election for the government or anything but more like a society of some sort. In the dream I was going round the booths of some of the parties in some sort of fair. First I went to the left had party table but I was like "wait a minute - I'm not joining this party". Then I went to the table for the green party to talk to the people but ended up waking up. Weird dream. I was reminded of it again when I saw this sticker for, apparently, a demonstration against the left side and thus for the extremist right, I guess, outside my flat in the traffic lights.

I've picked out my professor. In the end I may have taken the easy choice but it felt like the right thing to do. I hope it works out for the best. I think I most likely haven't really yet totally figured out what the whole business means. I think I'm just so out of it recently, living a sort of second life away from "my life". My boss suddenly said to me that she is jealous of me since I'm starting the doctorate studies because it was like the best time she's had. That really got me thinking. I'll have to make it the best time for me too.

It smelled like fresh hemp at the mall yesterday. It was really weird and the smell was really strong. Now I keep smelling the same thing over and over. (Like the time I thought I smelled like a dead disected rat for a day after cutting one up.) Maybe the smell was something else altogether but my brain made some weird connection.

I figured out how to climb this wall yesterday but I did not get up it with one go even though I tried like 3 times after I figured it out. The last move is just so tricky somehow. I will get up there next time even if I have to try it five times. At least up to that one point the thing goes up really fast since I've practiced so much.

    Oh, politics. I can never really decide what party to go for. They all send such mixed messages and I have such mixed opinions. And most of them are not even that strong. Vaalikone, here I come...
    Gotta love that mascara thing.
    I think we should all try to make any time in our lives the best time. ;) I wish it could be as easy as saying it.
    Finally the end of the week nears...
