Arrival

I arrived to Geneva on Sunday evening. Libor and I took a car from the Czech Republic so that we could take more food and stuff with us. We left at about 7 am. On the way, we stopped in Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland to see The Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe. There was some water falling from the sky as well but it didn't stop us. We took a walk around the falls anyway and arrived to Geneva at 7 pm.

On Monday, I was supposed to start working... It turned out it will take a while for a number of reasons. First, I needed to get my CERN ID card. Yay! :) Actually I spend the whole day walking around CERN with some papers, registering and applying etc.

Second, my advisor is in Paris at a conference and will return on Thursday or Friday. It turned out that nobody else really knows what I'm supposed to do. So for now, I do some general reading about CERN IT Data & Storage Services and EOS, where I work. There are also many lectures on Particle Physics and a lot of other subjects every day in the morning. I think I will go only to the lectures organized for openlab. And I will need to find some time for work :)

I'm at CERN, baby!

I'm back! I mean I'm starting a blog again. However, there are a few differences this time. I will write in English, because I don't want to make my friends who don't speak Czech read the funny stuff you get when you try to translate something with Google translator :) I hope my grandma will cope or someone will help her. (Hello, grandma!) I also think there might be also some non-Czech people out there who are interested in CERN Summer Student Program or the openlab version. And I also think I need to practice English rather than Czech.

The old blog about Union College was deleted, because my.opera just discontinued the service. So I downloaded the posts and tried to move it to wordpress but I wasn't successful and now I'm too pissed off to keep trying. I guess I will try to do it later at some point... For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, just ignore this paragraph :)

I also decided to change the way I upload posts. This time, I want to upload a picture a day with a small comment so that I will hopefully end up with something like a journal. Let's see how it turns out :)

I hope you'll enjoy this experience with me :)
