    My advisor has just scared the shit out of me. She sent me an email asking me to write an abstract for a meeting I didn’t remember about. The good thing is, I did know about it and I did make my registration. And I did send my abstract – exactly the one my advisor…


  • Where are you from?

    ,

    So I was checking traffic statistics for this blog and a few curious facts came to my attention. The first of them is that the major source of traffic is not Brazil, but the United States. Brazil is second and the UK comes third. The second curious thing I found out that the major referrer…

That said, I came to the conclusion (once again!) that I’m the elemental of bad luck. I just can’t believe how things can go…


  • Deathly Hallows

    |

    I’ve finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night (there are spoilers in this post; select the text to see them). I dare say that it’s the best of the seven books in the series. J. K. Rowling was able to fit everything together in a nice way and, most importantly, adding new…
