D-day -78

If you're here to read about my latest Thesis achievements, you might end up disappointed (sorry Mats...). This has been a week of traditional Austrian traditions (drinking wine for lunch and eating ridiculous amounts of food) which seems to affect afternoon productivity in a slightly negative way. Nevertheless, my un-Thesis-related progress this week involves a long list of amazing feats, including but not limited to:

• Metamorphosed one conference paper into a journal paper
• Created one spanking new shiny conference paper
• Successfully acquired a true treasure - Pearl Jam tickets for this summer! Now let's just hope that the concert does not coincide with skydiving. Hmmm, wonder what the odds are for that, with at least two skydivers from two different teams?
• Been called by the Swedish police - and relatively successfully solved this remote side quest
• Felt genuinely sorry for myself due to evil cold that ambushed me earlier this week

Saturday might by the by be a day when the Thesis moves forward again. Until then, I'll leave you with the thrilling conclusion of the allergy PhD comics series. Oh and I have no immediate plans of leaving academia. I guess I'll just have to live with itching arms!
