I'm back~
I've survived the long journey!
The logistics of our trip were a bit challenging; we went cruising around Portugal and were constantly packing/unpacking, checking maps and hoping to manage everything in time, so it was a tiny bit more stressful than my usual vacation. Also, on the second to last day I've got smashed against a beach full of seashell ( Read more... ) -
too much socializing
Lately, my weekends were rather busy:
1) Last week I was attending the Bunsentagung in Rostock, presenting my poster, talking to my friends¹, not talking to and trying to avoid my supervisor, sampling free wine at the evening, listening to some nice British speakers, learning what you should never say during woman networking lunch meeting² and ( Read more... ) -
La Fille du Pharaon
So, I watched the record of La Fille du Pharaon from Bolshoi-theater (by Pierre Lacotte, Cast & further informationAnd while the choreography was rather standard, I won’t dream of complaining because the show was such a beautiful spectacle!

As for the professional side of my life: I feel a bit lost. My motivation is hiding in a deep, deep cage and I just can not lure that bitch sensitive creature out. May be ( Read more... ) -
Other work groups are always more fun
Today was so sunny (finally!) and I felt really lazy like I deserved a break. Therefore, I visited my friend (inorganic chemistry, X-ray diffraction), we were drinking coffee and I was admiring their wall of fame~

To be like Crawford or not to be like Crawford
I actually wanted to make a long, elaborated entry with some updates on my life and well-being (and pretty pictures of the scarf!), but suddenly the weekend was over. And I still haven't accomplished anything. This happens a lot lately...
Anyway, have a silly repost from my tumblr instead (hence the format... and because I am lazy). While browsing ( Read more... ) -
How the Steel Was Tempered
This happend during Christmas (which we don't celebrate) and the New Year's Eve (which we celebrate as if it was the Christmas, with lots of food, presents and of cause a huge Tannenbaum (fir tree). At least we don't celebrate Yom Kippour, otherwise I'd be too confusing even for my crazy family ( Read more... )
