tough reality...

And here it is the new year...a new decade a new start...hopefully a good start...i hope that 2010 will be a year full of good things...at the moment , things are pretty much the same they were last year...but we know things will just get better cause they can't get any worse..lololol!

anyway, we have to keep our hearts open, our smiles in our faces....and that's just the way it will be...worry less and enjoy more!

let's hope, let's work for it and let's get it...cause that's the way it will be!

here's to a new year...full of new opportunities!

till my next post!

the thesis....

The thesis...

the big moment has arrive..the moment where i left the lab and all the exciting lab work and spend my days sat at home, looking to papers, books and all the available literature...how much life changes when the moment of writing the thesis finally arrives...Now i live in constant state of guilt...if i go to the movies, or to a party (at hours that i couldn't possibly be working) i feel what we define as the "catholic guilt"...I feel that i should be here at home,working every second of every minute of every hour!! :(

It's an inglorious task, but it has to be done...and i am doing my best to do it, to finish it, oh hell to demolish it...lolololololol

But i wish i could implement one rule, one single and easy rule, i wish it would be forbidden to work on weekends!!!

and that's it....

i will post more as soon as i get more and more desperate! lolololol

till my next post!

back to life back to reality....

And i'm back...after some great vacations in the greek islands and in the Algarve i am back to my routine..to the english weather and to the lab work!!

and now, it's an important moment...important things to do, important decisions to make...a lot of "IMPORTANTS"!!!

But it's ok...the vacations were great i recharged my batteries and now i have the most demanding months ahead of me...but hopefully by Xmas everything will be done ...and a new life will start!!

Till my next post!

It's hot...it's really really hot!!

and then there are ppl that still don't care about global warming....and i have to say....we should all care....just listen to this....In portugal it's raining...in Leicester it's 30 C!! is it just me or someone else also see that this is not normal....we are talking about England (where it rains more or les every other day) and Portugal (where you are supposed to wear sunglasses even in the winter)...so i really think we should all care very much!!

But having said this....this is the best summer i had in the UK in 3 years...so i am liking it!!!

we have done bbqs, sun tanning in the park...so it feels good, we know it's bad...means that the planet it's all screwd up, but at least it's hot and sunny!! lololololol

till my next post!

Women- the superior being!

lately it's only stress....1st i was told you have a poster in the switzerland meeting, then the email, after all you have been chosen for oral presentation, then i get the email saying, your 3rd year seminar of the phD is on the 27th...and all of the sudden i have to prepare for all this, and of course one stresses....cause, i still have to do all the other things....experiments, writting the thesis, clean the house...alll th things that women have to do...all these things!!and now take a minute to imagine this...i have no kids yet, what if i had???? i honestly don't know how my mum did it...how our mums manage to do this things all the time...being a mum, a professional, a wife...
being a women is good in good days, but there are other days....
lolololololol
anyway!
till my next post...after the meeting in switzerland :)

Stressure....

there are days like this...
here i am trying to do the impossibles possible...trying to work and write all in one go...it ain't easy...but what's annoying me is the fact that on saturday i realize i have what??? 6 months left...to write and finish off everything...and i am kind of panicking...oh yes i am...it's not easy...at all!

and what to do next? which path to follow? where shall we go?
oh well, it's one of those days where you think and question everything...it's life i guess but it's not getting easier...
i want to go back to when i was 5...lolololololol
back then i had a very very good life!!
that's all!

till my next post!

Easter!

i guess there are days where one can't stop feeling annoyed! and today it's one of those! how annoying, i woke up feeling lazy and tired from the super late night of work yesterday, and then it's this feeling of being here.. stuck....without going anywhere, without knowing what's happening next... i feel stressed, and annoyed! anyway, i think i am feeling the influence of not going home for Easter this year... and i am missing it ...5 days of L without going anywhere? not sure i will manage but ok!
will try to do some constructive over the break...maybe my dear boyfriend will have some super hiper mega nice idea and will do something really nice and cool!!

anyways, have a very nice Easter everybody!
Boa Pascoa para todos!! :)
