MIA
I was abducted....abducted by aliens....
what can i say? what's my excuse for not being able to write something this past month?? the truth is i really had a hard time trying to get access to the internet......i either didn't have internet at the lab, or had restricted access where i'm staying right now.....all in all, my disappearance was not voluntary!!! I'm now writing from my office at work...yes i finally have my own computer!!! after how many weeks?!
My arrival in Paris was great, although i was hit by some kind of depression after my first week.....call it home sickness, the blues or anything you like =) i was hit by a number of things....first of all by the fact that i was far from my familly and friends, second by the huge anount of work awaiting me, by all the people counting on me and my success in three years..., by the crowded streets, the huss and fuss in the subways....rush hours....the expensive food......and, i never imagined myself saying this.......no brunost!!!!!!!!
My work is now well under way, eventhough i'm not really working with my project, i'm basically working on another project which is a kind training...so far results are great...hope things will go as smoothly in the near future...If things goes well; I'll be attending a conference on Biofilms in Leipzig, that sounds great....if they give us a green light, I'll be working on a a big poster and maybe even a presentation with 5 other sutends and researchers...
Enough about work......i'm sure people are wandering where i'm staying right now.....well, i share a small appartment with another person, a collegue from work...i'll be staying there until end of june...the rent is considerably cheap and the shops and metro are not that far off....
For those of you wandering when i'll be coming back, all i can say is, sometime next year....i won't be coming back for Christmas and new years....I'll spending Christmas in Montreal/Canada with old firends....i'm basically going this week....i can't wait!!!! Something good might come out of it...who knows....;).....
That's all folks!!!! for the time being.....
Proverb of the day:
"Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped"
deep.....very deep......
