NOT A USUAL WEEKEND

Was invited to a very funny 'PhD' party where people from all over (Spain, Australia, Asia, Holland...a few from Sweden) ca 80 individuals, came and occupied the room, hall and yard outside. Lots of party mood, nice people and glad to be invited.

Guitar hero was the first activity out:



This performance I saw in the city and was very impressive. Wonder if she is from Russia.


MONDAY THE 27TH OF SEPTEMBER 2010

Diary of a stressed, but satisfied, PhD student in Gothenburg.


06:44    Overslept but hurrying to get ready.

07:00    Showered, preparing for breakfast without coffee, which will be consumed at work, note at       Dept of Rheumatology, because the coffee machine is better there. However, tea is better at Dept of Clinical Virology, so perhaps will change to tea soon.

07:40    Tram nr 3 and 8 to Sahlgrenska. Missed the express 104 going directly to Medicinaregatan.


08:05    Pouring coffee in the coffee room. Sweet. Meet one person I know. The rest of the room is empty. Except the cleaners who are smiling in the corridor.


08:15    Fixing some things in the lab of Rheuma.

08:30    Computer up and running and mailed and other administrative quick things taken care of.

09:30    Start writing article. Oh, I am late for this today, oh well.

10:30     Coffee time and mellanmål at Dept of Clinical Virology.

11:00     Continuation of article writing: Material and Methods expanded and modified.
              Supervisor visit to office, enlightened by order status for my project.

11:55      Administrative work including sending emails  (3).

12:01      Article writing:   Material and Methods continued...

13:00      Writing final first version of material and methods.

14:00        Lecture by Vito Ferro from Queensland, Australia about heparan sulfate inhibitors in          cancer and viral infection.

15:00        Last check up of 'Material and methods' materials - all is right?
