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.

New name, new goal

Yesterday was my last day at work. Today is my last day in Germany. Then it's off to finish my studies at the university and then start on more studies. Thankfully I'll get paid. So I'm going to be a crystallographer. That is, I'll try to figure out the structures of molecules in crystals. It's quite funny really since it's sort of what I've been thinking I want to do for quite a while and now I get to do it. I wouldn't really say it's my dream come true since I don't really have dreams of that sort. Career oriented people are supposed to have like 5 year goals/plans/dreams but I don't think I've ever really had one. I mean I have my goal to graduate of course but that doesn't count really since it's just finishing what I started. But yeah I guess I have a goal now which is to become a crystallographer.

So yeah the next four or so years of my life are sort of beginning in a few weeks time after I settle back into my appartment. But I think I "want much more from this potential life". (That song from Disney's Beauty and the Beast) But some things can't be planned like graduating. I do know that when I get back and settled in again at home I have a chance to sort of begin again where I want to be. Sort of get a new life. Not that there's anything wrong with the old one but making more friends for like climbing or something seems like a good idea and I think I sort of want to also get some other new hobby. I mean I will have time opening up since I probably won't be doing so much work in the associations and such I've been in.

Exciting times ahead. That's what I think. I can't wait. Or well I can but I don't think I have to.
Consequently, the blog has a new name and I'm off again to do my thing.

Interesting (?) fact about me: When I wake up and don't really want to get up (like every morning) I first sing, in my head, from this blur song that goes something like so "Good morning lethargy, drink pepsi blaa blaa" (Ok so I had to check the actual lyrics) then I go into a version of the toys'r'us theme of "I don't wanna wake up, I'm a toys'r'us kid, there's a million toys in toys'r'us that I can play with". So there you go. You now know something not everyone knows about me.

    Goals, I sort of set them, but they're quite vague. Some of them are reasonable, some less so. But they do make planning ahead somewhat easier and won't leave you stuck in one place (in professional life) too long.

    Crystallographer, it does sound exotic. ;)

    Hope to see you soon sis! :)

    Oh, I've always sang "good morning lover, drink pepsi woo oo oo" or something like that. I had to check what lethargy means... I guess it does fit.
    Vacation starting today!!! Still at work though.
