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 dinner

Yesterday's dinner was quite nice. Nothing to complain about really if not about the waiters pouring me too much wine. The dinner consisted of a whopping 7 courses. First we got champagne and today I noticed that it was in fact the first time, to my knowledge, that I drank real champagne. I have to say it was quite good. Then we got this bread appetizer thing, then like antipasto, then a soup, after that the course before the main course and then the main course. Then this fruit thing before the dessert after which we got the dessert and then to top it off coffee. By the time we got to the dessert I was really full but dessert does go to "a different stomach" so no problem. So we got like a white and a red wine which were both quite good and most likely very expensive and I have to admit with them pouring more and more I must have had at least 3 glasses of the white and 2 of the red. So I was a bit tipsy.

The conversation was quite smooth I think and most likely everyone had a good time. At the very end the waiters went around with this quite impressive looking cart of different after dinner drinks. I could have gotten a cognac but decided to not since as I said I was quite tipsy by that time and drinks just before leaving are quite a bad idea. No good can come out of them.

But yeah. I had fun. Today we are going climbing again and I hope I am not too hung over. In the morning I was kind of feeling it even though I got to sleep at around 11. But I best get going now since I have to go to the store and still have time to relax at home. Have a nice weekend!
