Oh my, LJ is back?!
I've missed you, honey. Take your time to recover - I won't be around for a week or so and when I'm back I want to see you healthy and proud again <3

As for me... Working on a scientific thesis is a bit like writing a fiction story. First, you have to plot the story-line, do your research, create main characters and figure out ( Read more... )

Cut for fancy thesis work and my typical university-talk about research, Profs and magic spells <3

Best compliment ever: "Would you like to do your master thesis in our research group as well?"

<3<3<3

But since it'll take me a few more years, in the meanwhile Prof B. offered me a job as his research assistant in the group! I'm not sure if I can manage both scientific research and studying in the next winter semester (lots of labs x_x"), but I'd ( Read more... )

"The thing Jayne loves about zombies is that they're easy [...]
Sure, it'd get boring if they hung around too long - the things are so slow they're like a target for bitty babies holding their very first guns - but sometimes, a man just likes kick back, relax, and shoot holes in a few heads. "

Can you imagine a better working day then hearing this ( Read more... )

stage fright
-> NOUN: Acute nervousness associated with performing or speaking before an audience.

Never thought it would affect me.
I mean, all I have to do is to stand up and explain (loud and clear) a highly complex theme in front of round hundred students and a dozen of  Professors...

And as if it's not enough, my own Prof asked me, if I can play ( Read more... )

I'm still alive. Kind of. Just a bit busy.

With stuff like:

Learning how to work in a sterilized lab. How to handle an atomic force microscopy without breaking this hideously expensive, bitching princess thing.
Not going mad at the amebae or at my stupid self for forgetting to put the lid over the gold electrode for the night. You see, the most of ( Read more... )

Actually, I planed to relax and enjoy the time left till the university will start.. Well, it doesn't exactly turned out the way I planed.

For example - the last night I was awake, wandering through the darkness and drinking cheap coffee~
Oh no, it wasn’t a night full of party and dancing.
And nope, I wasn’t learning all the time ( Read more... )

I've got a new crush lately: a cruel and utterly beautiful one - analytical chemistry ♥ Actually, the course ended a few weeks ago, but since I'm still working on the paper with the results, I can't get rid of it. Forensic science is frustrating and fascinating at the same time, but writing the research down is quite an annoying job. Especially ( Read more... )

Next week I'll break free! >3
Well, still have to write an exam each Monday (the reason why every weekend I'm studying and don't really realize it's free), still have to learn a lot, still have to work on my lab reports, still.... ok, I already got the message - the freedom is beyond my reach. But at least I won't hang around these pest-holes of ( Read more... )

Today is the last day of my labs in physical chemistry *dead* Unfortunately it doesn't mean I have a lot of free time on my hands now, I still have to write tree protocols till 31.03 and pass two exams. This you call a semester break for a scientific student x__x"

Nevertheless I sure will miss the labs for the last tree weeks...
