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.

Think it over

I've been printing out my thesis today for it to be taken in to be printed into books. I'd only have to print it once but I want some colored pages and thus I need to print those out separately. The theoretical part is no problem since it only has one colored page but the experimental part is way different. I have to print out like almost all the appendices in color. And that's like almost 100 pages times five. Right now I think I have like 50 pages that didn't work out right because of the heading in Word getting mixed up because I only wanted to print part of the document with "print selection" I could not use "print pages" because the pages are numbered like from 1 to 9 three times within the document and it would print out all pages numbered 6 and so on. At least that's the logic it worked with when I last tried. Or actually it printed out the equivalent of the 6th page even though that might not have been numbered 6 and all the pages numbered 6. Can't they just choose one logic for how it works? But oh well. If I went on complaining about how Word doesn't always work how I think it should, it would just take ages.

I've chosen a new lunch boy. I got tired of the old one even though he does still eat at the same time like every day. Also the old one has company. I think this new one is foreign and works in my building. I have no plan on what to do with this new lunch boy as I didn't with the old one either. Well at least he'll make lunchtime more awkward. Right now I'm asking myself whether this lunch boy thing is a good idea at all. I mean why continue with something that just may affect my appetite. Awkwardness affects my appetite but it's a fun feeling all the same.

I've been thinking about continuing with internet-dating. Now I know it's a sort of bad idea since it would most likely only add to my problems. And feed on my "I'm great, I'm wonderful - everybody loves me" -attitude, which is not all that misguided but still bad at times. It would be nice if they had like friend seeking service so I could get some female friends but it's hardly likely that there are all that many people like me out there. And besides, it would be like really weird to have like "blind dates" with other girls. What would people think. But yeah, I'm not going to be doing the internet-dating thing in at least a while. I have things to do still and I'm going off to Zürich too. Uh oh, can't wait. I wonder if I should pack or think about packing or find my passport or back-up files on my computer since I'm taking that along.

    hey sis. read thru your blog (after my holiday) and sounds like your doing good :)

    Hope you have a good trip!

    Just remember never to give out your real name, blog address, phone number or address to people that you meet over the internet before you're absolutely sure you want them bothering you for a longer period of time... Take care, Internet is full of all sorts of weirdoes, but I guess there are good folk out there as well...

    Of course meeting people through hobbies is better, but I suppose harder. One can hardly just go talk to people at the gym. They'd look at you weird.
    I just checked your blog to know what's up. So I'm not all out when saturday comes along.
    I thought we'd been to Switzerland on out "out of the states" trip when we were like 9 years old.

    In fact we have been to Zürich. (I spoke to mom yesterday.) I did have a feeling I might have been there but I wasn't sure whether it was like Austria or something. But yeah I don't really remember anything so it doesn't matter that I've been there before...:)
