kareinaLast weekend was largely spent working--I now have the next two capsules filled and welded properly shut and ready to run in my next experiment. I also managed to visit the other SCA house in Milan to spend a few social hours and work on my underdress in progress. This week has been even busier with work--I now have a complete list of which samples need further analytical work, and, more importantly, which experiments I think we may want to re-run. I finally finished that task late last night, and sent my boss a long e-mail detailing which ones I think might need re-doing, and why, and then asking him if we should focus first on doing new experiments, or if we should select one of these for revision next. I want to get my next experiment set up tomorrow, since I fly to Norway way too early the next morning, and it is an efficient use of my time to have experiments running whilst I'm out of town.
In between work I've been sending out couchsurfing requests for the various places we will be in Norway. Unfortunately, the first few days we are in Oslo happens to coincide with something called "Eurovision", and as a result finding a place to stay is difficult since there are so many people who are arriving in Oslo then. Silly popular culture to schedule an event that conflicts with my travel plans without telling me, anyway. However, even if we don't find places to stay, I'm told that in Norway one may legally camp anywhere that is at least 150 meters away from a building, so if all else fails we will pick up a cheap tent and head for the woods. (We do have places to stay every other day we need them, it is only the first few days in the Oslo area that are up in the air).
This morning I received a copy of uncorrected proofs of a paper for which I'm the co-author, and, having reached a breaking point in what I'd been working on last night, I actually had time to read through them and send the primary author a number of suggested changes.
I have no idea how often I'll be able to access Internet while we are in Norway, so if you don't hear from me after we depart until after 7 June it will be because the answer turned out to be "not often".
