From HGB to HDB
Today (and a part of yesterday) I spent mostly on various trains. Yeah, and I went to Heidelberg to visit the EMBL, where I will work on my Diploma Thesis, to talk about the specifics of my project. It was nice to get to know the people there; I really think I will enjoy my work in Heidelberg.
It looks like I will have to work real hard on this project; the math involved seems rather complicated. I will have to read more about it before I try to explain it here, in case someone is interested. The one thing that’s not so great about this project is that I won’t earn much money. Most of it will go directly into the rent for the room at the guesthouse. Well, there goes my dream of buying a new PowerBook next year…
The team is an interesting combination of nationalities: The team leader is from Greece, the one I’m working together is from Spain, and then there is another Greek, one from Palestine and one from Ireland. I hope I can practice my English some more.
A side note for anyone who understands German around here (yeah, I know, all of you do) : I have just left Augsburg Main Station and that’s what I heard on the train announcement system: “Heazlich willkommen auch den zugestigenen Fåhrgästen. Hier ist eine Person vom Bordservice zugestiegen, die ihnen bis München åm Plåtz frische Brezen und Kåffee servieren wird. Wia wünschen einen guaden Åppetit“. Tsk, those crazy Bavarians.
Later that train ride: I just arrived at Munich. It’s getting dark outside again. I feel like I had no real day today, and I’m getting really tired 
Stupid train rides. Well, at least I got my laptop, some power from the train and no internet…
