A Swiss Girls Birthday

On Friday Bea from Switzerland celebrated her birthday. Nearly everbody seemed to be really relieved because for most of us the midterms were over. The result was a nice party with lots of people, stupid ballon-fights and a swiss girl who can't remember whom she met 2 minutes ago. But nobody is getting younger.

It was the first party since two weeks so some people were quite childish (left) and: even Sarah was smiling for a photo (right).

Studying for the first mid-terms


This week I spent nearly all my time for learning for the mid-term examinations. I can't remember that I have ever worked so hard and nevertheless I have the feeling of being ill-prepared. It seems to be the darkest section of my academic career.

Regardless I accepted the invitation of the french girls Delphine and Sarah and joined the original french crepe evening on Friday. Thank you for this, I'll pay back sometime.

No update this weekend

For the very few people who are visiting my site regulary just to see a new update.
Sorry guys! I'll try to update it at least every weekend, but there are mid-terms coming soon and I spend nearly all my time for studing now.
Furthermore I think it's not that fun for you to read posts about process control and Aspen-Flowsheets. Even I wish I hadn't spent so much time doing it.

Sarah's Karaoke-night


This evening we went to the karokebar "silverspur" and practised our singing skills. It was an awesome night which everyone who took part will remember forever. By accident, it was sweet Sarah's birthday when Delphine and me entered the stage at 12 am to perform our first song. Of course we sang a french birthday song first before we presented a very special version of a Shania Twain hit!

Philip's Birthdayparty


On Monday we celebrated Philips birthday in our unit. It was a very nice party with a lot of nice people. Only the fact that it was just his 20th birthday was a strange feeling. But this is our german fate.

The party had everything what an amazing party need:
A very good host (left), deep discussions (right),

a lot of nice visitors (left) and some people sitting on the stairs (right)

Trip to Toronto


Landmark of Canadas biggest city is the CN-Tower, the highest free standing building of the world. Of course we have been on the highest platform (447m) to take a view over the city.


Me on the CN-Tower


In the evening we visited the baseball game in the Sky Dome, a huge sports stadium beside the CN-Tower. The Toronto Blue Jays played the New York Yankees, the champions of the eastern division. Somehow the Blue Jays defeated the Yankees and every visitor got a pizza for free.
