Since I’m to tired to work I decided to blog a bit about yesterday and the last night… After another day of beeing to lazy to do some real work (and actually not knowing what to do) I read some papers and slides in Shaun’s office (which is the cafeteria)… Later we watched Mulholland Drive, since it was Thursday, which means CineDay.
And that strange movie was the beginning of a almost equally odd evening/night… After coming back from the movie we found an empty restaurant one (whoch is very strange, for those who don’t know it) and a bit later some people gathering in/at a roundabout listening to music broadcasted by a parked car. Being absolutely delighted by that idea we joined the URP (unofficial-roundabout-party) and got the idea of going even one step further… Which made us ending up on the roof of building 40 to spend the night there…
Meet THE MACHINE
Yeeha… I finally made it to see THE MACHINE, or my big old friend, or whatever… And I also touched it, the TRT of ATLAS, the machine I’m working on for about eight months now… woohoo! (btw thanx to Katrine)
Pix are online, of course!
Gettin’ really insane…
Somehow I just don’t know why I am doing what I’m just doing here at CERN??? I just left the GirlsBoysParty, probably the last offcial “kitchen parade” of this CERN summer school… This time the stunning topic was to dress like a girl (for all men) and to dress like a man (for all girls). And suprisingliy I joined this “crazy” party and even coached a team in a drinking competition (btw I still don’t drink myself)…
Somehow I’m just aksing myself: Why?
Anyway!!! Rock on!!!
DanskRevival
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…?!
