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.

Shopping and laundry

I went shopping today. I finally found myself new sports trousers. I mean they are not perfectly cute but they fit low enough, the legs can be tightened with drawstrings so they won't get in the way while climbing and maybe most importantly they're green. I don't think I'd have bought them had they been like black ro maybe I would have since they were the best ones available anyways but them being green is a big plus. Not everyone will have pine green trousers while exercising. I also bought a grigri (self-braking belay descender device) for climbing. Like now I don't have to pay an extra 2 euros when I go climbing and have an important safety apparatus that is mine and thus will be taken good care of and thus it will be very trustworthy. I mean it is like my life on the line when I'm 10 meters up in a wall. There are cheaper devices but I think I may just not be very trusting of people and bought the one that is self-braking. I also enrolled on another climbing course. This time it's outside climbing. It should be fun. I'll have to order good weather.

Oh and if we continue on the "what I bought today" -theme then I also bought a new usb-memorystick. 1GB since I'm having to fight with storage space all the time at work. I just can't fit all my stuff on 100MB at work. I have 100MB of storage space on the computer or well on the network drive and then my old memorystick of 128MB and since I like to keep my things like my thesis in two places it just is not working out. I mean the network drive is really full and I'm having to use my memorystick for everything. It's been annoying me but all that is solved with the new memorystick that cost just 10 euros. The comparison is that I payed like 35 dollars for my old one like 3 years ago and now I get 10 times more space for one third the price. Fantastic.

If hadn't had to do laundry today I'd have called someone and gone for at least coffee with a friend today but since i had to come home and do laundry I did not do that. Now it feels like I've just been wasting the whole night. Haven't seen any friends today. I talked to one on messenger but that doesn't count really. I want to meet people in real life. Ok so I could have called someone for coffee to my place or something but in the end I just wasn't feeling like it. I'm quite tired. I think I will just have some tea with these chocolate chip cookies I got from home that I just noticed I had. Dad and my little brother said they are great. I guess I'll make up my own mind soon.
