Light in the tunnel

Three good things have happened in the past 24h:
1. I finally got internet connection, which means that I can post from home and not from the lab, that was by far uncomfortable with all the people around, and
2. I got my new phone back (thank you my dear insurance company!! won't even mention what happened to the previous one, you should only know that I had it for 3 days... that's my absolute record... ). I will be able to post more photos, as it has quite a reasonable camera.
3. My first salary just arrived :) have to keep most of it for my debts and upcoming payments, but still it's nice to see a sum on my account that doesn't start with a '-' :D
