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.

Christmas and my presents

I had a rather nice Christmas. The food was good, the company even better (my family) and all in all I had enough to do not to get bored and so on. I even got tons of nice presents. I guess I've been nice. The bnd even gave me two presents of which one I knew of and had in fact chosen myself and the other one was a surprise. He was like "well presents sort of have to be a surprise so I went and got you something else too". That is in addition to the snowboarding coat he got me. The other present was earrings. Rather nice earrings too. Simple rings, that is. I ended up wearing them and I think I will until I have to change them for some reason though I can't think of one. See I wore the last earrings for the past six years. I think I took them off maybe a couple of times but otherwise I always had them on. I got those earring from my twin as a birthday present. Before that I hadn't worn any for ages. So as a summary: my boyfriend got me earring that I actually like and am presently wearing until further notice.

As I am apparently discussing my presents I shall now continue. My secret Santa present (wished for it and another family member bought it with my parents money) was a Powerball. It's like this exersise apparatus for like wrist and finger muscles. Good for climbing. And it's like way difficult to figure out how to use it in the beginning. I'm getting there though. I got it working Christmas morning and that day but then yesterday as I was showing it to the bnd it just would not function. "It's broke." I tried tons of times but I just could not get it going. Today, however, (like 20 minutes ago) I did get it to work and on the first try. Even made a new speed record. And now my left hand is sort of twitching. :) I have to try again.

So ok I'm at work but it seems the network is sort of down. Or at least the printing which is what I was trying to do and need to do next so I decided to write in my blog which apparently works. They did warn me the network might be down at times today so I'm taking it easy. Tomorrow is Friday after all and I've had almost a week off and there really aren't a lot of people at work. I'm not sure I even should be but I got some things to get done and I'm in the city so why not go to work. It's sort of fun being at work when there is not much pressure to work. I'm actually getting things done. <- Explanations, explanations. (seli seli) "Get to work."
