So!
If you've wondered why I haven't posted in a while, there is a very good reason, dear readers. Since the last post, work has been fairly normal - I spend most days doing interviews, making files on the kids I've scanned, and preparing myself to learn how to process my MRI data. All of my work in the lab is going very well, I'm happy to say, and I am confident that the work which remains (most importantly, the analysis of my MRI data) can be completed in the U.S. It will not be easy, it will take work, but I will be able to finish it when I get back home. And hopefully, with the results, publish a paper. All of the above are helping to make me into the ideal PhD candidate. I just hope the schools I start applying to can see that as well!
So, that's work. However, I am writing to you now, sleep-deprived, slightly dizzy, and extremely happy, after taking a week and a half holiday (yes, I am so European - I call my vacations holidays) with my best friend Rachel, to visit Amsterdam (properly, you know) and London. Rachel left from Heathrow on Friday, after which I went to Cardiff, Wales, and got the chance to go to the Doctor Who Convention! The first ever! It was very exciting. I have many, many pictures, and I can't wait to share them all with you!
I decided to break up the posts about the holiday into three-ish parts - one about Rachel and my adventures in Holland, one about our adventures in London, and then one about the convention, and my last day in London. I am excited to share them with you over the following days! For now, a brief taste of what I did the past two weeks:
 |
| At the "I am Amsterdam" sign, in the museum district of Amsterdam |
 |
| European Backpacker FTW! |
 |
| Eating Cuban tapas in the Cambden Markets in London |
 |
| Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station in London |
 |
| Going on a Pub Crawl in London |
 |
| Next to the iconic British phone booth, outside the British Museum |
 |
| Doctor Who Convention welcome sign |
 |
| Next to one of the Tardis models they had around |
 |
| Walking at Sophia Gardens, in Cardiff - that's the Cardiff Castle in the background |
 |
| A traditional British Afternoon Tea |
You are so darling. I already saw all your pictures on Facebook except the last one at the British high tea, with you and your little friend, The Kindle. How I wish I could have just popped in there and had high tea with you! What a blast, Kelli.
