Holidays… suck! [update][update]

Copenhagen

damn… well that’s a start!
I am sitting at the airport in Copenhagen waiting for the flight that was scheduled 45min ago…
and even better… now its scheduled for 13h50…
yap, right… four hours late

13h50… that’s also roughly the time when my connection coach is about to leave Stansted…
I am really enjoying my holidays so far…

[update]
well, now it has been cancelled!
the best alternative they could offer was Sunday morning…
honestly that’s what they offered looking at my ticket with return flight on Monday morning…

I AM PISSED! and not going to Oxford btw!

[update][update]
I wont get back the money for the coach I booked in advance…

Writing my thesis

Copenhagen, Niels Bohr Institue


Since I had some complains about me not writing anything in my blog for a while and people gettin upset about it… here we go!
Unfortunately I don’t do a lot these days besides writing and working, ergo there’s not much to write about! So I uploaded a picture of my desk/workplace/home ;-)

Well, you gotta cheer me up with some nice comments ;-)

Another small reunion

Copenhagen

… this time in Copenhagen… Pedro my good old Portuguese friend is currently in Copenhagen to spend some days and have an interview for a PhD position at DTU… on the picture you see him touching his most favourite yellow cemetery wall… *nevermindheisstillaniceguybutaphysicistsowhatdoyouexpect*

Reaching the limit…

Copenhagen, Sailing

After Troels’ Good Bye party yesterday evening and a horribly short night I had a nice brunch with Troels and looked forward to another (final) good sail… since the weather was nice and the wind was good.
Unfortunately it was too good… after enjoying the first 20min of the trip, I started to dislike the idea of sailing and another 10min later I filled a bag with the brunch I just got in the morning… the crew, which decided to return by then, and me, not feeling my hands for a while (how strange is that?), tried to enjoy the rest of the trip (as much as we could)…
Safely back on solid ground (and lying on the pier for a while) we went on to the NBI and finished the first official version of our (hopefully soon) ATLAS note: “A probability based approach to PID in the TRT detector of ATLAS”.

IT HAS BEEN SENT OUT!!! YEAH!!!

And now Troels is off to Australia…
Greetz, enjoy and see/hear you soon!

Royal Football and white walls

Copenhagen, Football

Damn… I’m a bit exhausted!
Yesterday I was invited to play some football at the Royal Danish Life Guards football pitch (the pitch is guarded by these guys too… wouw!?) and afterwards I decided to help Troels to paint half of his flat… and we finished at about 2h00 in the morning… and finally my damn algorithm is giving me the creeps these days.
