L'avenir appartient...

... a ceux dont les thesards se levent tot.

Parce que certains trouvent toujours les bons mots.

As it happens, I'm just wondering back here a year after the last post. Same feeling here and now than when I realise I've left my papers pile-up without filing them: I realise the opportunity is gone, and I'll have to live with the mess (nothing new here). It's only the same, but with my brain. One day I'll troll my archives to have a laugh at my own PhD struggles / expense, but not now, the issue is still a bit tender...

So my visit my be worth a quick update, if not only for my own sake's in a few year time (when all the DCM I use daily will have melted my brain away).

The thesisgate ironed itself out, or rather, I spent my days, my night making the mess a bit straighter, cried a lot, "bit the bullet" stopped hating "them" blatantly to only hate them silently.

I'm now anti-enjoying the postdoc-ing, which sees me slave around an eminent professor, who despite being extremely demanding, is also extremly enthusiastic and motivated. A welcomed change.

I have my own army of technicians, students and other flying monkeys, whoI wish I could say jump through hoops and bend backward, but sadly, it's the other way round. I could elaborate for days on my latest master student, which is record-breaking in her own rights and makes me want to inhale a lot of ethyl acetate for breakfast. But I still need to update Kiara on that, to exorcise the pain. Too raw, too fresh, somehow.

I'm also marrying my Dr. A in a few months, an achievment in itself, since he's the guy who brushed me off only a couple of years ago, on the grounds that I wasn't worthy enough. CoE influence, off course... As a good geek, I still don t have a dress, which I decided on making myself...

Otherwise, we're still enjoying Doomville, and aren't considering coming back to the mothership yet.

Plenty of other mostly good things, that would take too much time for me to elaborate on. But maybe the bug is bitting back and I'll be back before a year...

Time will tell, but Le fond de l eprouvette hasn't been reached yet....
