RSSA, Day 4 (7/4/2012)

 

1. Within 3 nights, one can get used to sleeping without a pillow.

2. My room is not that bad, it has a bad, a shower with warm water and no one comes to kidnap me even if I forget to lock the door for the night.

3. I’m still kinda sleepy.

Today’s topics were a lot more easier to understand for me and very interesting. In the morning, we had a more or less general lecture about cancer treatment and then one about NF-kappaB (my old mate from the molecular biology exam I took in Feb).

I bet you can’t wait for learning what we ate the third day for lunch, right? Well, we ate really late, because the profs enjoyed educating us so much that we finished more than half an hour later (3,5 hours of lectures in a row = very dizzy Vita). Anyway, I got a paté with wannabe-arugula and a small pickle (the miniature pickle was the reason why I took it), pasta with some sauce and vegetables and cheese. I was the last one to arrive to our table, so I wanted to start some decent conversation.

Me: “Hi! So, how does it taste?”

5 pairs of disappointed eyes: “It doesn’t taste.”

I swear that the picture of this dish could be in the dictionary as an explanation for the word “tasteless”.  

In the afternoon, I was in the lucky group. That means: our genetics workshop started as the first. Since the following program was article analysis, it basically meant a free afternoon. The genetic workshop was interesting, Of course I know all the theory about pyrosequencing, but this was the first time I saw the machine and was able to see it work (and the graph it produced). It was pretty cool.

So I went to the city and did some shopping, as you can see. I found a Korean BB cream in the local Sephora! Can’t wait to try it! The eye shadow and lipstick were 5 E each and the set of highlighters just 9, the soaps weren’t even 4 E. I even found a fabric store that had scraps of fabrics for a lower price!

I also went to the Japanese shop, but I didn’t buy anything. They had an extensive collection of manga, but I didn’t want to buy any series, and I couldn’t find any one shots. Because of this experience, I also decided not to go to the Japan Expo in Paris during the weekend.  

I came up with a genius idea for breakfasts. I got some waffles, strawberries (they were delicious) and caramel sauce. The result was pretty yummy. ^___^

Yours truly
