Putting Descartes before the horse

was a phrase I learnt while reading the International Herald Tribune's article on Tuesday, "Trace of Thought Is Found in ‘Vegetative’ Patient".

So that little random bit of did-you-know aside, I think work's slowly, albeit very slowly, moving and that helps me feel a bit better. Someone said to me lately, the results do not matter so much, it's whether you show scientific reasoning (or a scientific way of going about the experiments) in your thesis that matters. I sure hope this is true...

A good friend of mine (also my German 'teacher', she really helped me a lot with learning the language) has invited me to go to her parents' place in Aalen for the weekend. I reckon it'd be nice to spend time with a German family. Am looking forward to it! :) Though I'll probably have to try to get some work done (prepare for my interview/talk in Italy in a couple of weeks) while I'm there, with my laptop in toll.

Have a good weekend, peeps. ^_^
