    As I talk to more and more people I get the feeling that I’m not even near what I want to believe I am doing. I keep saying to myself that I’m doing my best in my studies, but I’m just a slacking bastard. Of course, I have to take into account that almost everyone…

    So It’s been another big period without posts. I decided to just give up worrying too much about this and just post whenever I feel like it. Sorry people. I’ll try to arrange a rss feed so people don’t need to come here and simply not find anything new. I’ve been in a congress since…

    Yeah, I know. It’s always the same thing. I try to keep up with this blog, but end up posting only sporadically and people stop visiting. In fact I’m even used to it. The point is, I often forget to post here. There are thing’s I’d like to talk about, but I just don’t have…

    Directly from the XAS beamline at LNLS today! It’s being an interesting experience. The samples we’re measuring don’t have anything to do with my project, but this is going to be very useful, I’m sure. Besides that, I think there’s finally hope for my stipend: It’s due tomorrow, at last. It’s been four months since…

    Towel Day, originally uploaded by fmneto. This photo is from the Towel Day at IFUSP. It has been a while ago, but I’m testing this new feature, which allows me to post pictures directly from flickr. Things are starting to get right. I hope to finally begin receiving my stipend by the end of this…
