Busy day

It seems to me like Mondays are always so busy, and the TO DO list is just a never ending story... Is that just me, or do others feel the same way?

Tomorrow I´m going to Hamar to give a talk about science and physics and "my story" and stuff like that - really looking forward to it, but my talk is not entirely ready yet :/ However, I´m getting up early tomorrow, to get Alexandra to kindergarden when it opens, to get to Hamar before 10:30 AM, so now I have to go to sleep! Sleep is so extremely important (like, really!), and since I have time on the train tomorrow I can finish everything there :)

Love this cover of Taylor Swits "Shake it off", btw...

...and Einsteins letter to Marie Curie - basically telling her that haters gonna hate, a 100 years ago. 

SHAKE IT OFF <3

Blogglisten

Prøver å få være med på Blogglisten, for det er jo liksom ganske viktig, da - og de sier jeg må publisere et innlegg med denne teksten for å verifisere, så da må jeg vel kanskje det da...
<div id="E98B95A6-CAF3-45EC-94DD453BDC1B5C54-3BE64C4B-224A-4E16-AA2E374EC330837E"></div>

Cold

What a day - or, really it´s more like a "no day"; first of all it´s really cold in Oslo today, and I hate to freeze, and even though I try my best not to freeze I still end up doing it anyway (apparently I haven´t learned to dress properly for the Norwegian climate - after just 31 years of practicing :P)... Second, I haven´t done anything today - which of course is not entirely true, but my day has consisted of getting up and getting Alexandra to kindergaden, a doctor´s appointment for me, a dentist´s appointment for Alexandra - and suddenly it was 1 PM before I was at my office - even though I got up at 6 AM, and, well, now I´m gonna spend the next 45 minutes answering e-mails, and then I have to leave to get Alexandra in kindergarden (#mommylife).

The only good thing about the cold weather is that I can wear my favourite, pink hat with bling - I love it so much that I even wear it inside. My big coffee mug, which is a memory from my semester as a master student in Paris (a real Monoprix coffee mug :P ) is also good to hold on to. 

Since this is a pink, girly blog, it´s totally ok (close to recommended) to share 4 almost identical pictures of myself, wearing my pink, blingy hat, in my office. You can also see my two office mates; Lucia <3 and Aylin <3

#pengerogpoeng - pictures

It´s been a long day, and now I´m really tired, and just want to go to bed...but it´s also been a good, interesting and inspiring day, so before I go to sleep I just have to share some pictures :)

Thank you so much for all the nice comments I got on Twitter, btw!

...and then I was home, and it felt great ...

Nervous

I guess some (many?) believe I don´t get nervous before I give talks, since I do it "all the time" - and I don´t think I normally seem very nervous...well, I do get nervous. I´m nervous right now. Nervous about my talk tomorrow - feel like I have nothing smart to say. Nothing to contribute to the conference.

It´s probably "healthy" to feel like this from time to time, but it´s NOT fun :/

Of course, the rational part of me tell me it´s not entirely true that I have nothing, but, well, feelings...:P The best thing I can do right now is probably to go to sleep; so that´s exactly what I´m planning on doing in just five minutes ;)
Wish me luck, please <3

Which paper is cooler

Einstein versus Chadwick.

E=mc2 versus the neutron.

1905 versus 1932.

I´m trying to decide on which paper I should present in the Article club in two weeks. I´ve "claimed" both Einsteins "Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy-content?" (energy equals mass times the speed of light squared) and Chadwicks "Possible existence of a neutron" (the discovery of the neutron). Both papers are short and sweet (except I don´t believe they really are sweet, they just look like it ;) ), both really basic and important for my field of science...

Which paper is cooler? 

I must admit I get the feeling I like Chadwicks paper a liiiiitle bit more than Einsteins - but I´m not sure yet.

Which paper is YOUR favourite?

Talk

Too many hours, working on a talk.
About publishing.
