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.

Lunch lines and table tops

In the lunch line today I asked the person in front of me to pass a message that they were out of glasses. The guy acted like he didn't hear me when he must have. It was way weird. I'm quite sure I said it clearly and loud enough. But who knows if he was like really shy. I was at the physics department anyways. There's also a possibility that he was foreign but he didn't look like it and most foreign people would probably have said something like "excuse me".

In the bathroom at work the table top next to the sink gets really wet since people take soap with wet hands and everything. I have this huge need to dry it every time I wash my hands. I think I'd be sort of embarrassed if someone saw me do it. "But the table might get ruined." I don't know how they ever did anything around here without me drying the bathroom table tops.

I've been looking at the new powder instrument they got at the inorganic department today and yesterday. I can't wait to get my samples on it. The instrument is really fast and you can set it up in different ways and so it's sort of like a puzzle. Way cool.

I'll be trying to take it easy this weekend since I think I'm not sick any more with the actual illness passing in just one day, but I have to take care that I stock up loads of sleep for next week when I think I finally have to do loads at work. I'm sort of not feeling like starting anything today anymore even though I really should since there's two more hours to go.
