Back in the 'Burg

Last Saturday, A flew and F drove to Washington DC, and from there it was back to the 'Burg. Our house had a few minor surprises in store (a toilet leaking loads of water, a yard full of leaves and a non-functioning heating system), but the biggest surprise was when I arrived at my office today.

I was in fact dreading coming to the department, and I am not looking forward to next semester. But look at this!

 

My students rock!

Grenoble

I left Bonn a little bit earlier than planned, and added a last-minute visit to Grenoble to my itinerary. Look at the view from my hotel room! That is so much better than what I had in Bonn!

I am actually working hard here. Hopefully we will finish up our project, because I am not planning to do any more research after this semester. Doing only research is exhausting!
