A clip about a city I used to live in...

Side change

Today I had an exam... Well, I have had many exams before. I have even had my last one 1,5 years ago. But this time, everything was different. I did not write it. Rather, I was the one to supervise it. I have changed side. From now on, I am with the teachers, professors and other grownups, that make life of the students more complicated.

Got Moth

The moths somehow got into my food storage. Today I needed to throw away a pack of sugar, noodles and flour.

Don't read this post...

It's just for me. I know this picture seems completely useless for everyone in the world but me. Still, I am really proud of having produced it. Moreover, this is my blog and I am allowed to publish whatever I want to here. Hence, I could not stop myself from telling the world of my new discovery. Useless or not, here it goes...

Малина

Продолжаю пожинать плоды Германии...

Вслед за садом шелковицы я совершенно случайно натолкнулся в лесу на месторождение малины. С тех пор был там уже несколько раз, и всегда наедался настолько, что уже не мог потом эту малину видеть. А её там очень много. Метров 50 по обеем сторонам тропинки. А ещё сколько в глубину... Жалко что добро пропадает. Немцы-то с куста кушать не будут. Там ведь червячки-паучки, а кроме того все проходящие мимо писают в кусты. Мне только интересно, куда подевались все русские? Неужели все настолько ассимилировались? А пока каждый раз, когда я приезжаю в лес по малину, её там только прибывает...

Heat

I could never imagine I would not be glad of and enjoy the summer heat. I really love it, when it's so hot you can do nothing that would make you stop sweating. I think it's because I have lived in the north for too long. There you really learn to enjoy every single sun beam...

But now I actually get angry with the heat. Nothing personal, but my lasers in the lab should operate at 20 degrees. And when the background temperature is 26 degrees, they just can't be cooled. Now I can only conduct my measurements in the morning, as the temperatures still are moderate.

Well, one thing is positive, though. As I have nothing better to do, I have time to write an angry blog post...

У моих регулярных походов в "качалку" начали появляться полды. И дело даже не в том, что я вновь и вновь увеличиваю нагрузки. И не в том, что руки уже с трудом пролезают в одну из футболок. Нет, самое интересное начинается после тренировки. Тогда я обычно хожу в баню. Недавно один поляк научил меня, как правильно принимать холодный душ. Раньше я едва выдерживал под ним пару секунд. Теперь я стал фанатом: Могу уже спокойно продержаться больше минуты. А потом обратно в баню, а там хооолодно...

Хорошо что так получилось. Надо тренировать себя, привыкать. Этим летом я собираюсь вдоволь накупаться в горных речках и водопадах.

Coins

I've got a new coin in my collection: The Irish 2-euro coin.

Breakthrough

Today I spent about three minutes enjoying the feeling of having achieved a scientific breakthrough. Well, not for the whole science, maybe, but at least for my master thesis. Still I was too shocked to realize such things just don't happen to ordinary master students.

Some additional experiments convinced me quickly that I still remain a deadly man. I have just discovered a new feature of my SOAs that I can't jet understand or interpret. So I spent the rest of the day hating polarization and getting firm in my opinion that the nature never behaves as you expect it to.

But these three magical minutes... They will remain in my heart for a long time...

Mulberries

The mulberry season has come...

Is long as I remember, I always loved them. The problem was, as I lived in the north, I did not have any possibility to enjoy them. These fruits don't hold long enough to be sold in supermarkets. And the mulberry plant just doesn't grow in Sweden.

But here in Darmstadt it does. There is a mulberry garden five minutes away from me. There are plenty of different trees there, and some of them, the black ones, are starting to mature right now. Tonight I have been there to take my first bite this year. Somehow, the Germans did not really get the idea that you can eat things directly from a tree. I think I am almost the only one in the city who does...
