Structures to refine
It's Friday. Way hey. I need to go to the supermarket and then I think I'll try to refine some crystal structures tonight. I have like at least 10 of them to make into publishable quality and it's great that I can do them at home. I think it will be something I'll be doing a lot of in the future since I'm going to be a crystallographer for the group I'll do my doctorate studies in. At least now I have material on which to practice. And practice, and practice since I should be getting three new structures soon.
So now I have 43 pages in my experimental part. That is from the introduction to the conclusion. I think it will get to be a lot more when I get around to drawing pictures of the structures I'm refining. I think the actual book done from it will be rather thick since I have like at least 30 pages of appendices. I think I have to cut down a bit on those though it seems they just keep building up all the time. But that's what one gets for ordering tons of analysis and getting loads of results. I shouldn't be complaining.
I only have three more full weeks of work. Or actually one full week and two four day weeks since I'm going to Ireland. (Oh oh, panic... Ok it passed.) I think the last three days I'll just clean up the last messes I've made and bounce around not knowing what to do. I mean it will be weird to leave sice I've been here like 7 months now and that's like along time. Well maybe not on a lifetime scale but experience wise loads of things can happen in 7 months. Not that loads of important life-altering things have been happening to me really but they could have.
Oh but I gotta get home now. Noticing I only have the one full week and such made me motivated to refine those structures all on the weekend and draw the pictures. I mean I gotta get things done.
Have a nice weekend! (And do someone write me e-mail. I "never" get any.)

Hey'a sis!
Sounds like you're well onto completing your thesis. Congrats on that and I wish u all the best motivation to keep going with it until it's all done. :)
I've been working daily (and I do mean daily, as I was here on sunday for 8.5 hours). But hey, it's good money for our trip to US although I'd like to sleep more on weekends.. :P So that's why I haven't been updating my blog or writing witty comments on yours ;)
So no weekend for me this time, hope I get some rest next weekend.
And e-mails? I "never" write any, sorry :) I've tried calling you a couple times out of fun, but I always seem to get that lovely german answering machine. Which follows panic and hangup. I could maybe try to leave a note next time.. ;) Maybe. ;)
