I learnt that the word Easter apparently comes from the Norse goddess Eastra, while Påsk (and pacque etc) comes from hebrew pasach, that means passing by. The reason to why bunnies provide you with eggs (made of chocolate), is a bit more obscure I think. This easter weekend provided me with a fair amount of joyousness - I moved to a new apartment! It is my very first own apartment. It's in an old character building, with hardwood floors, windows in every room, to 3 directions. A bay window to the south in the living room, and lots of light. I think I was really lucky because the rent is low, even though it's in a really nice area, just by the river and the Legislature, a bit on the side, so it's really silent. And it's on the second floor. So far the only negative thing has been that I keep poking out the electrical chord to my alarm clock with my head when I sleep... I should move it anyhow, so I don't fall back into the habit of snoozing too long (no, there's no risk of getting electricuted). A few wonderful friends helped me out with the move, and it was so much fun! The weather also turned amazing - above 20, going up to 24 on Sunday. Btw. How much stuff is it possible to collect in 2 years, after having started from scratch? Quite astonishing actually. I tried to think like Sofia and managed to free myself from a few probably super unnecessary possessions. The genes from the maternal side are strong though, and it's a fight each time.
Now, I have roughly 1 month to create some science to present at conferences. And prepare a talk and a meeting with advisory committee. So I think I'll concentrate on that for a while.
