Getting ready to go and life
I've been cleaning my office and lab today and generally trying to get things in order. I also booked plane tickets for my initial trip to Germany. I'll be going there for the first three weeks of December. I don't yet have a place to live but it's looking hopeful that I'll get to live in the same building as before. The same landlord says he'll look into what he could get for me. He owns like 20 apartments in that building so there is a good chance I'll get something. I'm counting on my luck. I hope it doesn't fail me.
I've noticed that I sort of like doing office work more than doing stuff in the lab with the exception of measuring crystal structures. It sort of bothers me since at one time in my studies I noticed the same thing but decided that since I am going to be a chemist I will like working in the lab. And I do sort of like it. I think I'm just quite lazy and sitting at my desk is easier than going into the lab. So mostly the problem at the moment might just be that what I mostly do is weigh stuff and dissolve it and that's not very challenging. The thing is that I should start more experiments since if I don't I won't get any results and then there will just be no use in doing anything. But I'm now counting on getting into doing stuff as soon as I've cleaned the last of my old experiments. It's sort of like me not wanting to start cooking if there is already a pile of dishes, I guess. But liking office work is not so bad if I take into account that once I get my PhD, I'll most likely not be doing the weighing in the lab and will maybe even miss it.
Everything else in my life is going quite well. Nothing much special I guess. It does seem that life has gotten more serious. It might be that I haven't been to a really crazy party in quite a while or just the fact that going to work everyday and then spending most the nights at home since I don't always have energy to do anything special is just boring. Luckily there's climbing, the bnd and my other friends.
This post is really boring and I'm sorry about that. I think it's because I'm at work and it's three in the afternoon and I'd really like to go home though there's nothing much special to do there either. (Sounds depressing. I best stop here.)

Crazy parties don't come around that often anymore. It's really sad. U should throw one, since your parties are always fun. Have a theme like the one at your graduation. I loved that party! In a month or so it will be time for a big goodbye party anyhow. Part of being a grown-up is having to figure out exciting stuff to do by yourself. That's why I went to diving and climbing for you I suppose. U can get a new exciting hobby in Germany. I still need to find one here. But first I'll get going to the gym down. Oh yeah, sailing. We did that.
I should write in my own blog. ;)
