Well, it has been a crazy busy day, to say the least.
In the lab today I had to extract the DNA from these bacterial cell cultures that I made Sunday evening. The process took quite a bit longer than I thought it would because our centrifuge will only hold two large tubes at a time. ::Sigh:: Oh well.
After work I got an email from Jim (one of the guys in the program) saying that he wanted to get everyone together to go out for dinner. I definitely wanted to go, but I had clothes drying at the laundromat down the street, so I had to let those finish and then bring them back before I could leave. We always meet at the Ganseliesel at eight, and by the time I left it was 7:40. And it is a half hour walk to the Ganz (as we have lovingly nicknamed it). So, I ended up practically running down to the Innenstadt and made it, surprisingly, by 8:03, only to find that no one was there. I wasn't sure if maybe they had collected everyone and left to go get dinner already, or if they had canceled and I just didn't hear about it, but nevertheless, I decided to wander around and see if I ran into anyone. Jim had suggested two different places for dinner, but unfortunately I didn't know where either one of them was. So, I walked around trying to find them (and I did, by the way, but I didn't see anyone there). Finally, after about 40 minutes of wandering aimlessly, I decided to give up and go home to have dinner.
And, on the nice long walk home, I ran into Jim and Tracy. This, of course, would explain why I couldn't find anyone at the Innenstadt. Apparently no one was interested in getting together for dinner, so they canceled. Jim had sent out an email, but not until after I had already left. ::sigh:: Oh well.
Anyway, Tracy and Jim were going back to Jim's apartment to hang out, so they invited me along, and I went. We just sat around and talked and tried to be quiet because Jim's roommates are studying for finals. Around 10 I decided that it was time to go home. Unfortunately, I got a bit lost on the way (I'd never been to Jim's before, and couldn't remember exactly how to get home again) and then it started raining. So, by the time I got home at 10:30, I was wet, cold, and tired and I STILL hadn't had any supper. No worries though! It was still a pretty entertaining evening, and if nothing else, I at least got plenty of exercise. ;)
Anyway, that was all from today. I'll talk to everyone later! Love you!

So sorry your evening left you cold, wet and hungry! Guess there are worse things though!
ReplyDeleteI am about ready for bed myself so I will chat more tomorrow. Love you!! Mom
Awwww. I hope you finally got to eat a little something for dinner. I really enjoyed seeing your new pics on your Facebook page. :-) Thanks for putting those up there so we could enjoy them. Miss you!!!! Love, Sheila :-)
ReplyDeleteSo did you ever get anything to eat that night?
ReplyDeleteYou know how it disturbs a mama to think her baby went to bed hungry! And you need to find an inexpensive jacket to wear when you are out on those cold nights. Either that or borrow someones just for a little while.
I am definitely feeling like my old self again.
It's wonderful! Just hope that radiation treatment doesn't set me back too much. Dad didn't really begin to feel that fatigue until near the end of his treatment.
Dad has jury duty again July 22 and 23 (Wed. and Thurs.)if they don't settle out of court. I can call the jury line the night before to find out.
Take care! We love you! Mom
What a bummer that you rushed to get to the proper place on time only to find out no one else was there because they cancelled!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be able to find alternate plans in cases like that though. I'd have been inclined to go home and "pout".
