Yeah… it’s already a year ago since I (we) started our Danish-course… So it’s a day to celebrate. Because of that I was meeting Lorric (an Copenhagen exchange student from Geneva, greetz btw) to celebrate this occasion with a moving ceremony…
The ATLAS pit and the BigBang
Last friday i finally went down to see the ATLAS pit, home of the biggest experiment ever! 92m under ground… unfortunaltely it’s so big, that it almost fills out the whole cavern, making it hard to get a good view. Anyway, it’s just awesome huge!
Having seen the detector (or at least the parts, that are already down there) I went on to see the BigBang… On Saturday there was the Fete du Lac in Annecy… which was a bit odd, because they locked the whole city, but offered the most impressive fireworks I’ve ever seen. They started out with some choir singing and ended up with 90m of fireworks… bambambigbang! Yeah!
I guess I’ll be disappointed by the Fetes de Geneve firework and/or the New Years Day fireworks in the next years…?!
Winner
Yeah… like every year there has been a t-shirt design competition for the summer student t-shirt… and guess what!? I won the competition (at least for the front)… CELEBRATION!
CERN talk
Yeah… I’m still alive… and it wasn’t as bad as I expected… Today I had my first “real” talk in the ATLAS InnerDetector CombinedTestBeam meeting at 40-SS-D01 CERN. Which lasted approx. four hours and I was second last… yo! It was actually kind of good, even though I was fr**king nervous. The major players seemed to like it… somehow!
Here are the transparencies if someone is keen on looking at them… you nerds!
The one
This is a short entry just for “The One”. The sun that lightens my life for seven years now… I love you!
