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 office, new work

I moved office today. It's good since I'm closer to the rest of my research group and the lab I'm going to be working in. The bad part is that I'm now in an office with 2 other people and I'm farthest from the window. There are screens between our work places so I can not see the window. I actually think hardly any light from the window reaches my work place. What a shame cause I like looking outside while I think. Maybe I just won't be doing much thinking then. Oh well, since I'm most likely going to be in this room for quite some time I can finally think about bringing some stuff here. Like a frog poster and possibly a plant. At least I'll be needing a periodic table of the elements. Like anything to make this place a bit more cheery.

But yeah. Since I had my hopefully last exams yesterday, I have to now move on to other work. I have to plan my upcoming doctorate studies and research and really start writing the article. Planning the studies is the first thing to do just to get all that organized before my professor goes on holiday. Then I can just write the article all by myself. So new work coming up. I have to read about what I'm going to study and research. It's sort of funny since I'm sort of doing what I've been doing but just with like another viewpoint and I know like nothing of the compounds I'm going to be studying so it's sort of hard to write about what the point of my upcoming research is since I really don't know myself. I really have to get oriented with this thing but it's seeming to be a bit difficult at the moment.

I'll maybe leave work soon and go to the gym. I have no idea whether it's raining outside or not at the moment so I don't know whether to leave or not. I got wet this morning coming to work and it wasn't nice. Oh I'll just write a to-do -list and get going. It is already after four anyways.

    I hate being away from my lovely window at my last desk as well. I always gazed into the distance as I thought. Now it really seems I can't think anymore. And since my optometrist thinks it's good for my eyes to gaze into the distance as well I'm having a hard time. Get more headaches and stuff. Now you just gotta take more breaks to go gaze out windows not to end up like me. Even here at home I look out the window whenever I stop writing. Must talk to my boss about this propably.
    I'm all complaints now that I've been sick.

    Been workin in a temporary office for the last 3 months now and I must admit I kinda miss my 'stuff' that's boxed up somewhere in the company basement. New office should be ready within 2 weeks, REALLY looking forward to that. But to the point, 'your stuff' is what makes the office seem more comfy, so by all means go get your posters and plants. :) And easy way to make the office more cheery = smile more :)
