First Entry in my New Old Blog

What happened in my life since my last entryin 2006 shortly before the Football WM in Germany:

- Germany lost against Italy in the half final, but at last won the third place! :)
- after that I was sitting in the incredible heat and writing up my diploma thesis
- finally I handed in my thesis in October 2006
- did some cloning in Brinüs Lab of Genetics
- then I moved to Sweden in March 2007 and since then I live together with my boyfriend Tomas (or 'der Ritter der Kokosnuss')
- got a PhD position at the Department of Forest Mycology and Pathology in August 2007
- since then I became a pretty nerd on Boreal Forest Ecology, Ectomycorrhiza and their extracellular Enzymes.
- in August 2008 my boyfriend and me got our crazy, hyper active but always adorable Golden Retriever Lukas (you can read about Lukas in his own blog)

Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana!
Now, half of my PhD education is nearly over and I am short before my half time seminar. To tell the truth, I am pretty nervous about the seminar. So, I just hope everything will turn out well and my last two planned projects will give some pleasant results!!
So, my intentions with this blog are to keep my dear friends and family updated about whats going on in my life and I would like to be a bit creative on the web. So I will both publish usual update posts aswell as some more fun/crazy ones that you are very welcome to comment as much as you like!
I will mostly keep the language of this blog in english, since I would like both my swedish and my german friends and family to be able to read what I write. But please dont mind if I from time to time fill in some german or swedish. Some insider things you just can't translate!

So let me welcome you in the year 2010 on my new old blog
