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.

Exam over presentation to come

I just got out of the exam. Eight questions and one has to get the equivalence of 5 totally correct. I answered seven. I think it went surprisingly well taking into account that I did not really study as i did not really have time to do so. But it's pass or fail. I think I should pass it.

Now in the program of the final day of the course we have two hours more to prepare presentations about our structures and then present them. I finished mine yesterday. I did figure out an error on it last night so i just have to fix that. It's a six minute presentation so I'm not really worried about it. It should be fine. At least I don't have to worry about my English like many other people on the course. I've had way more experience in having presentations in English than in Finnish.

Tonight we'll have dinner at a Chinese restaurant and then I'm off the next morning. I'll be traveling the whole day really but it should all be like being at home after I catch my train home. I can't wait to get to my apartment where I have access to clean clothes and my own bed.

I have to say that I really like Zürich. As in the city. I could imagine myself living here. Partly it's probably that I'm reminded of Germany but it must be something else too. Just like when I was going to the hotel right when I got here, I did not even have to pull out my map. Ok, so I'd rememberized the route. But it just seemed really logical. And then I rememberized the tram routes to the hotel and back in just one day. Maybe the city is just logical in some way or "maybe I lived here in a former life"...:) So yeah, I like Zürich. They've just got everything I'd need. And well as a side note I do have to mention that there are quite a few handsome males at the university here.

But I have to get going to the lab before they miss me since I was kind of supposed to go there right after the exam but I decided to take a break since I was the first one to leave.
