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.

Monday, London and mind-reading

Oh it is such a Monday. I totally did not want to get out of bed this morning. I didn't even sleep well since I'd been watching two episodes of Heroes before going to bed. That show just totally makes me have weird dreams. I guess that means it is effectively thought provoking. I've seen like six episodes of the first season.

I got work done after I got to work since I have like loads of crystals to measure. See I'm measuring unit cells and hoping for something new. Actually right now I have something new (at least for me personally) and thus I have to wait till after four when it is measured fully. So now I'm supposed to be reading for an exam I have tomorrow but I'm totally falling asleep. And it sucks since I really haven't studied at all and it's really embarrasing if I don't get a good grade. I'm just so not used to studying any more. It sometimes feels like I'm used to just not doing anything proper.

So I was in London. It was a really nice trip. It did feel like I hardly saw anything since it was only two days. But still I think I've been somewhere for two days and I've seen more. Weird. But I did see Big Ben and Buckingham Palace and the Tower Bridge. We didn't go inside anything so maybe I'm just sort of feeling I saw nothing since I did not see huge collections of old stuff in museums, where I'm usually interested for the first 15 minutes after which I want to have a look at the gift shop, where I buy nothing and then I want to have coffee. But at least now I have something to go back for one day.

We did use the Metro tons so the next time I go, I'll be able to handle that with no problem. Also did some shopping. I bought a coat and two t-shirts. All Esprit like usual. I just feel like I know what I'm getting with that brand. I do have to tell you about the Esprit store they have with a Starbuck's right inside it (i.e. "shopping heaven"). It was great. Didn't even have problems shopping with the bnd though my official opinion is that girls shop with girls and guys can do it alone.

Even went to a vegetarian restaurant. They had like tons of vegetarian food to choose from and only vegetarian food to choose from. It was great since usually there is just the one or two. I think if you are able to eat everything, you won't really get how lovely it is for a change. I ended up having a burger since it was so great that there was like four different vegetarian burgers to choose from. Oh and they had the best ice cream. Truly.

It's sort of beginning to feel like me and the bnd can read each other's minds. Or that one of us can anyhow. Like in London we were shopping and then suddenly we are both like "shall we go have coffee" and then just Saturday I was wondering whether the boy got tickets for this gig he was going to and just at the moment he texts me. And then one day I was thinking we should go play Badminton on Sunday and then he texts me to ask me to play on Sunday. And that's not even all. It's been going on for like a couple of weeks now. Just little things usually. It's most likely because we hang out so much. Or else "I have developed psychic abilities". :)
