drahkon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Decided to go out tonight. First time since March. Will go to a cocktail bar with a few friends and just enjoy the ride Interesting times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Have fun! I’ve been out twice since our lockdown finished and it’s actually been really nice. Have been to a couple of bars that are usually quite touristy but of course there are no tourists around at the moment. Means that they’re nicely quiet and much more relaxed than usual. I almost wish the travel bans would never end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 One of my closest friends is getting married in New York in 11 days. Trying to figure out how to get a gift to them that quickly. Plus it doesn't help they're going upstate somewhere so probably would need to be the day before 🤔 They set the date today. I've not just been procrastinating.

drahkon Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It's raining like crazy, it's cooling down. Perfect. Gonna stay up for a while to watch the show and enjoy 25°C, instead of the 37°C we've had over the past few days. This is the weather I live for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen some brilliant flashes of lightning off in the distance completely lighting up the sky (a lot of clouds hanging over us right now by the looks of things), with an almost inaudibly quiet rumble of thunder. Hopefully that means we'll be joining you in enjoying a cooler time soon! I love being out in the sun, but boy is the humidity it brings about indoors in the middle of summer not for me. Today was definitely the most uncomfortable I've felt working from home so far. And that's saying something, seeing as I hate working from home, guess the trick is that I'm always uncomfortable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it's pretty much as hot as it was yesterday at noon. According to the forecast it'll be 25°C the entire next week. Would be a dream. Until then...35°C it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let this be it! Just checked the forecast and they're saying rain and thunderstorms for the next week...

drahkon Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Looks like I'll be able to start working on a Bachelor thesis next semester. I've now reached the required credit points to start. Managed to leave quite a positive impression with an institute at our university (it's the institute for Molecular Biotechnology) during a seminar. I asked beforehand if they got a topic to work with and the person responsible told me that she could find one for me. There's still the possibility that Covid-19 fucks it all up, though. Fingers crossed that it won't. Anyways, I still have quite a few exams to pass so even if I can start working on my thesis I won't be done for a while. Gonna take me one more year to get a degree (don't ask me how long I've been a Bachelor student ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Aaaand just got an email that the lady in charge already planned with me Gotta meet with her soon to talk out the details (topic, when I'll start, and all that jazz). Today is a good day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Got the topic for my Bachelor's thesis. Well, a general idea behind the topic, the exact wording needs to be figured out. Going to work with plant viruses and try to assess whether it's possible to "clean them up" in a cheaper manner than ultracentrifugation (which is very expensive). I'll be able to start working on that in October 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’ve never had one nor even heard of them, but they look like the kind of thing that would be disgustingly delicious though. Those waffles don’t look properly cooked mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those waffles don’t look properly cooked mind.I tried them once. Just disgusting and not delicious. Apparently they dropped the salt/sugar content in the rebooted version. Got to agree with you on the waffles too, thought they looked a bit anemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oven cooked potato things are strange, you can never tell if they're going to cook as per the instructions or require 20 extra minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
