Back again

17 July 2006France, PhysicsSascha

Finally I am back in Copenhagen and online…

Horrible Internet connection/availability in Strasbourg… anyway!
The school was nice… even though it can’t reach the CERN one… also due to the lack of PPJB

btw I met some people from CERN during the school, like Susanne (GER), Laura (GER) and of course Katrin (DK)…

I managed to get all the stats for the World Cup Gamble done and now I am just waiting for the winners to get their prizes… ;-) Congrats to Shaun, Heike, Katrin and hansaspieler!

Now I am fighting myself through a big pile of emails in my accounts from the last two weeks…
damit… being offline really stinks… how can people manage?
Somehow I get the fealing I am an Internet addict?! nevermind… could be worse!

Now I need some sleep…

Summer University

16 May 2006France, PhysicsSascha

Yeeha… and another one!
One year after the awesome summer in Geneva during the CERN Summer Lectures 2005 I will try another one… just got accepted for the European Summer University on “Particles and the Universe” in July in Strasbourg, France.

Probably not high end physics, but still interesting and fun… I guess
Vive la France

2006

9 January 2006Czech Republic, Family & FriendsSascha

Happy New Year…
well… it’s a bit late… but yeah, I’m busy.
I finished my great winter holidays in Czech Republic and now I’m back in the stress… great!
Exams, decisions and it’s freezing cold… damit!

I’ll write some more things in few days…

Provence and the French-German Relations

19 September 2005FranceSascha

After a very nice and long trip from CERN to Aix (which costs 35EUR btw) I had an interesting guided tour through Aix, met some tourists from Copenhagen and Sydney that gave me their email and postal addresses for my future visits… then I enjoyed the beautiful countryside of the Provence and the Verdon canyon.
The next day started a bit worse… I found my car with a hole in the front window… I’m lovin’ it! Anyway… after some calls and hearing the police say: “We’re busy, you hqve to come tomorrow!” We (greetz to Julie and Melissa) went on to see the mediterian sea (following the original plan) and the Cardargue national park… also very nice countryside.
Today I “enjoyed” a french law lecture… whereas I have to admit that I was reading most of the time (thanks to Andy for the book)… but it was fun…
In the moment I’m suffering the pain of writing this up standing in front of a pc with a f***ing french keyboard…
Anyway I “love” france…
Since I don’t have a proper connection the pictures will follow later…

Goodbyes, Zurich, art and spatial separation

29 August 2005CERN, SwitzerlandSascha

Another week(end) is over… After a very nice italian dinner (last Wednesday) behind the CERN hostel, arranged by all the italian summer students, we had another GoogByeParty on Friday (greetz to Katrine & Mark) making people drown in sad mood and alcohol… nevermind.
I went ot bed early since we wanted to go to Zurich on Saturday… and so we (me and 4 sleepy people) did. In Zurich, which is btw a very nice city, we enjoyed and created art (can be found in the gallery) and joined a party in the National Museum of Switzerland.
Besides all that… I also had to experience the spatial separation (not to say loss) of my “siamese” friend… (May the Boogie be with you! Shaun – I’ll be back!)
