THE PAST DAYS

Monday
The exam on Monday went horribly bad, I had focused my energy on the wrong topics. Oh well.

After the exam I prepared a Marketing presentation with my group, getting to bed around 1 o'clock. The presentation didn't go very well for my part, as I read my sentences from a paper. (it was in French, so I have a little excuse there) Anti-dynamic presentation  in other words. The others in my group did very well in my opinion and impressed me with their presentation skills!

Tuesday

Studying for Électronique du solide in Bib'INSA (the library)

On Tuesday, after the presentation I studied for the Thursday's exam until 16h30 where I picked up my brand new checkbook in the bank. So now I own my first checkbook ever! (they are next to extinct in Norway)

At 17h I had a meeting concerning the trip to the Alpes in April. I got to try out how to write a check right away as a 200€ check was needed as a deposit in case we ruin the apartments we're going to rent (I made 8 in total to help my friends who doesn't have a checkbook yet).

I went home, felt like crap so I went to sleep before 20h. No more studies.

Oh, by the way! Tuesday I found out that I passed the fifth year course Optoelectronics I had to take in order to get my year abroad accepted by NTNU (my home univ.)! Wee! Made my day even if I felt like crap :)

Wednesday
Lab from 08h30 until 18h30. The first lab with Mr. Gauffier and I think it will be quite fun. Mr. Gauffier is an interesting man. Especially I find it fun how he walks around smoking his pipe in the lab (No smoking policy in the building).

Safety glasses are important when vaporizing gold (yup we did)

As every day I've been eating Ibuprophen like I had no tomorrow, so I got through the day quite well and I managed to study Electronique du solide until 23h.

More Ibuprofen

Thursday
Exam from 8h to 10h. Went better than the exam on Monday, but still quite bad I think. Went home, sleeping/relaxing. Had French class from 14-16h. Went home, went to bed and slept until my alarm clock went off 09h Friday

Friday
FX and I (FX is my lab partner) were supposed to work today, but as I had a little fever this morning I told him we had to postpone it until Saturday. So today is my getting well day, I'm staying in bed. No time for fuzzing about!

Have a nice day and a fun weekend!
