...fredag igen...

...och är på ganska dåligt humör idag. Sovit dåligt sen jag stukade foten, så är trött och har fortfarande ont i foten. Veckan har dessutom gått för fort då jag inte har hunnit med vad jag hade planerat att göra den här veckan.Det är allmännt en dålig dag idag alltså. Gör inte saken bättre då alla experiment har skitit sig totalt den här veckan åsså...hoppas bara ansökan är ok och att det inte saknades ngt..då skulle jag verkligen bli skitsur...vet inte vad som hänt med den gamla hederliga glada Anh-Tri...kanske bara börjar bli gammal och bitter?

Nåväl, det är i alla fall helg och ngt att se fram emot. Har dessutom en långhelg då måndagen är ledig. Dock hjälper det inte att ha helg då man har en miljon saker hängande över sig som bara måste göras!!! Men men...ska se till o få en massa gjort så att jag inte är så butter till nästa inlägg...

Jag kan i alla fall önska alla en trevlig helg. Hoppas att vädret blir bra och att ni kan njuta av det sista som sommaren kan erbjuda.

Finally submitted...

I finally submitted the first grant application for this round....one down, three to go!!! The worst thing is that I am already fed up with it...however, I must thank my boss and my previous supervisor and examiner for all the help they have provided me for this. Although I am happy so have submitted the application...my expectations are quite low...but we will see..please cross your figners for me. I also got the good news that a paper which I am 2 nd author on, was accepted for publication last night.

Otherwise I am a little bit pissed off at the moment because I injured my right ankle quite badly last sunday playing football. It really sucks since I finally got my exercise going and are getting used to the running and classes, and is actually starting to get in shape!! Then this shitty thing happens and I probably can´t do any classes nor running for a while...sucks big time. Luckily I shoul probably still be able to workout my upper body.

Well that was all for this time....don´t want to write more, a bit grumpy....

Thanks god it is Friday...

End of a really tough week!! For some reason I have not been able to sleep very well this week..maybe it is the stress of writing a grant application or soemthing else....anyway a bad week. Eventhough it is nice that it is Friday I probably need to work on the grant the whole weekend anyway and maybe also in the lab...well keep your fingers crossed that I don´t have to that. Also...this week, although being bad, has been passing by too quickly...since I need more time writing. It has also been a bad week of exercising....have been so tired and heavy the whole week. I will only have managed to exercise 8 sessions this week...that is almost just half of last week :( ...but welljust have to think of it as some rest maybe...

So what do you think about my new T-shirt? As you all know I don´t buy t-shirts that often but I just couldn´t resist buying this one...especially after talking about the movie Borat yesterday with my collegues at lunch. It is kind of red though, and slightly tight...but a large would be way to long and they did not have a medium size one, so I just have to show off some of the burgerfat....I think it is really cool....I also couldn´t not resist buying another one with our Man the "Hoff" on it.....I will take a picture of it when I wear it.

So, I am a bit dissapointed of all of you that did not even comment on my last posting....you all should know better and comment on that one... :(

I hope that you all will have a good weekend and that the weather will keep being sunny and warm...as for me...still having the dark clouds hanging over me...but it is getting better...

Have a wonderful weekend, shame on you for not comment..and take care

...tired...

Well again....hate mondays and this week also tuesdays!!! I guess I just had a rough week last week, with to much work and exercise. Yesterday I was sooo exhausted and kind of feel the same way today. I am currently also working on a fellowship application...forgot how much work it actually is. I spend the whole morning just to fill in the general information about me and my working experiences from now back to high school to just get started..I mean..what the hell do they want to know when and where I sent to high school? and I am stillnot done yet...

Anyway..sorry for the complaints...probably just a bad day....let go to something more fun and maybe a bit more cheerful. I think it was a long time ago since I asked anyone this question.....and I hope that I can get as many answers as possible...otherwise I will be a bit dissapointed....here it comes...

So tell me friends...What day is it today? ;)

Ge dig Jonas, jag e enbart på Yogan för att det e kul och otroligt välbehövligt för mig.....dock så kan jag ju säga att söta flickor i tights aldrig e fel det heller, som bonus....men inte sett så mkt än mäste jag säga...dessutom...jobbar inte på det viset, jag e en snäll pojke vet du...!!! Hälsa Marie att jag hemskt gärna springer me henne om hon tar det lugnt....så bra e jag inte än...

...Have a good weekend to you all out there...

Well, another week has passed and it is now heading towards the weekend again. This past week have been filled with work and also filled with gymclasses. I have been continuing the Yoga thing and also tried out some Pilates and muscle conditioning classes throughout the week in the gym...the results...a totally sore body, however it feels nice. This week I have also increased the total running distance for one week to appr. 15 miles..that is an improvement of about 4 miles for the whole week. And despite of what you all think, no names mentioned, Stefan and Jonas, the Yoga and other classes is only for the sake of excercise and getting rid of the huuuuuuge belly that I have started to develop. The goal is to get trimmed again and hopefully get in the best shape I can be in, ever. But of course, a little is also about to get in good shape for Jannes wedding..do not want to embarase him on his big day!! So as you can see the exercising is finally starting to get back to usual.

As I told you all before...I am a bit anxious and feel like I have not done anything good at work yet so the coming time will be full focusing on work. I have 4 different projects going on at the moment and need to write a couple of fellowship applications and most of all..I need some results. Before that I will probably pick up my old habits of working alot and exercising a lot. My life the coming fall and winter will be all about work and gym....so I will save all the fun things to do for any visiting friends next year. Hopefylly I can manage to get rid of this anxiety and start to feel good about what I am doing here soon. It is going toward the right direction so far and I have been much more focused the past 3 weeks...

Well I want to end by wishing you all a very nice weekend, do lots of fun things and I also hoep that wherever you are in the world, you will have good weather to enjoy. As for me..I have a triple session to look forward to tomorrow morning starting at 8.30 with running, 9.30-10,30 with muscle condition, and finally Poweryoga at 10.45 to 11.45. The rest of the weekend will probably be dedicated to work, however I might manage to squeeze in som shopping in between.

Have a great weekend and Lots of Love to you all out there

,,,Monday again...

...and always tired. I don´t know why mondays have to be soooo hard... Anyway..the weekend has been great with wonderful weather and relaxation. I went down to Connecticut to visit my sister and my parents, that are here in US on vacation. It was nice spending some time with them again. Basically we just hang out and did not do anything special. I got back home to my apartment around midnight esterday so I was pretty tired this mornign on the meeting with my boss. Otherwise life is going as usual, still having anxiety for not having any results yet and feel a bit stressed about that too, hopefully things will come along soon and I can start feeling like I am doing something good again. One good thing is that I have finally joined a gym, so I am poor again but hopefulle fit soon, and to Mr Fling...Yoga e bra för själen...inget med "tights" o göra, jag tränar ju alltid för hälsan skull :) ...sen så e det en fransk bekannt som jag lärde känna då jag bodde i Bergen...träffat fransk tjej, nää, jag jobbar inte på det viset vet du.

Thanks for the comment Mr Fling and Adeline...I did not think that anyone was reading my blog anymore. To Adeline, yes I had a very good time in france...you know I like france and thing that come with it ;) and as you mentioned to bad that it was to far from where you live otherwise it would have been fun to pay you a visit to see that you are doig good and being a good girl and also meet you cute friends ;). Your Italy trip also seems very nice, I bet that you an your friend was popular among the italian guys right ;)

Well that is it for now...take care alll of you that do pr do not read my blog.

Oh Yeah...one more thing....Welcome to US Micke!!! Your apartment looks great...I am really jealous of you..but well that is probably what you get for being a hot shot NIH postdoc compared to a peasant one as me....good luck with everything and don´t forget to keep i touch ok

Hugs and kisses

...my first Yoga session...

well well..many of you know that I have wanted to try out yoga for quite some years now...either because of my incredible stiffness or the expected cute girls in tight that I might see...the truth..well well..think about it...

Anyway I am trying out a gym that I am interested in joining, finally shopping for gym!! I feel like it is time to get in shape now...have to fight the aging that is catching up on me. So, I got a free guest pass to a gym close to where I live. I decided to try out a class, so why not Yoga. Today at 7.25 I went off to join my first Yoga session ever. When entering the studio, (I definately did not see the expected cute girls so of course it was is for the stiffness....) there were only 3 people...which suited me fine since I would probably make a fool out of myself. Starting out it was tough...it felt really good butI realized how stiff I was and had a hard time to relax, but I tried hard to keep up. After the session it felt really good...sore but in a different way compared to normal. And I also think that I did not make too much of a fool of myself...well..I probably will continue with Yoga.it was great fun but hard.

That was my first Yoga expierience, and hopefully next time you see me I will be as toned and flexible as all the hollywood start that are doing yoga!! (or not..)

I also finally got a bike and bought my first helmet ever....see getting old and careful.

Otherwise I am having some hard time at the moment. Nothing at work works...and I am a bit anxious about not having any results at all yet...and I need to apply for more postdoc grants...stress stress stress..

Well that is all for this time folks..
