Hello to all!

Its very nice hearing from all of you. Sounds like everyone is starting to settle in back home. As for me everything is going quite well. 

I will now present you with my daily routine:

• Wake up 7:30(shower breakfast pack lunch etc)
• Depart for work at 8:30 by bike
• Arrive at work around 9:00
• Do some basic stuff in the lab
• Eat lunch 1:30
• Leave for home around 4:30

(Alice I hope you enjoy my bullet points)

And there we go thats the basic weekday for seb. If you read my first post thing you should have an idea of what I'm doing. As interesting as it sounds the actual process is quite slow. We are often confronted with problems and have to re-do lots of our things. The main issue is that we don't have all the material necessary to do what we want (ie currently as I write this message we are missing some glass slides to observe things under the microscope, also waiting for the liposome specialist). Either way I'm pretty happy doing this since its quite easy and the hours are relatively flexible.  I get to spend quite some time procrastinating on the internet.

As for non job related things it has been quite boring here. I went to a small "house" party (as in the kids from 10th though 12th grade from my old hight school) and was DD so I got to see my sister and friends get drunk. I also got to hang out with Florie a fellow ISB alumni who goes to McGill and talked about school and future stuff like that. I now think that I am going to do four years, one term abroad and a minor in either management or technological entrepreneurship. I also watched Montreal lose against Philadelphia? I don't know it was sad. On another note I was the man of the party for about 30 minutes when I opened the beer botte with another beer bottle and proceeded to open the second one by hitting it on the pongpong table. This impressed everyone. THANKS MO for teaching me such a valuable and impressive skill.

Other then that I don't do too much. I try to go biking as often as possible and go enjoy the woods next door. I have also become my sisters personal taxi driver taking them all over town and driving them from place to place (took them shopping at the mall last night). Luckily most of my other friends here are coming back from college this weekend. I plan on going snowboarding with some of them this coming saturday. It will be nice seeing them all.

 And now for some interesting stuff that I found on the internet:

• Video of beer pong:
  

This one is very interesting and directly relates to what I believe was a big part of my college experience. I'm so jealous of their skill!

• Lab Notes

Diverting blog talking about new scientific discoveries and studies and stuff of that sort. Some stuff also relates to popsci.com blog posts. 

• OLED
  

This stuff is really cool. I can't wait for it to be implemented in everything!

I'm also trying to brush up on my spanish and have been trying to download Rosetta Stone spanish. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a good torrent or download site for it. So if anyone ever finds a good working mac version of rosetta stone spanish level 3 let me know. 

So yeah, thats about it for now. Hope that everyone else is doing well.
