Life Goes On

Published on September 15, 2008 in Computer and School. 0 Comments

Last Monday I had my very last exam (at least for my degree in Computer Science at Darmstadt). It was an oral exam in Social Psychology and it went pretty well :-) . So now there is only one thing left before I can graduate – I have to write my final thesis which takes about 6 months. Now I try to find a place and topic for the thesis and hopefully I can start working on it within the next weeks. It’s a strange feeling knowing that it’s only some more months of being a student before starting to work and not knowing any details yet. So basically it is a big question mark how my life will look like next summer, or better: a big adventure :-D .

During the last week I’ve helped several friends solving computer problems or setting up a new computer. It were 2 new laptops, 1 partly destroyed Windows installation and 1 fully destroyed Windows installation. All computers are up and running now (hopefully for a very long time without problems) and I think 4 computers in one week is my personal record ;-) .

What else is worth mentioning: The LHC is up and running, too, and the universe still exists. I think the whole LHC-leads-to-apocalypse-thing is a massive public relation campaign which motivates people to catch up on what is happening in the LHC. I have no clue about what is happening there in detail but I like the funny stuff in the Internet concerning this topic. My favorites are the Large Hadron Rap and the following cartoon:

Next week I’ll be in Berlin for some days with friends so most likely my next post here will be about this trip and contain some nice pictures.

Museumsuferfest at Frankfurt

Last Sunday Vincent, his brother Stephane and I went to Frankfurt(Main) to the Museumsuferfest. That’s a big event at the riverside in Frankfurt with lots of food places, bars and stages with bands playing all kinds of music. Additionally all museums are open and you can visit them until late in the evening. We had a great but exhausting evening. The festival ended with a large firework which we saw while standing on one of the bridges over the river Main.
