Colleagues

It's just difficult. Especially with the language barrier. Everone can speak English, everyone still chooses to speak German.

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I raised the point to one of my colleagues about whether or not all groups are like ours, as in lab is lab, personal is personal, and no one says anything unless it is totally lab related.

She said no, it's just ours.

Afterwards, we decided we should try and start some "social activities" for the group. Today is the first. The very first, ever, for this lab. I just can't believe it's taken a PhD student and a weird British girl to finally motivate people to actually hang out. Now my issue is, it'll all be in German, as always. Anyway, if it's good for them, it's good for me.

We'll see how this goes...
