The first weekend

Hi guys,

the first weekend is finished and it was very interesting to discover Belfast. We could nice corner of Belfast see.

The weekend started Friday afternoon and we (the people in the apartment) have thought, that we go in a club, but unfortunately I had to remain in the apartment, because I have stupidly thought, that the minimum age from the club 21 years is. On the next morning, I have learn, that the minimum age 18 years is. What shall I say to this? Shit happens. 🙄

On Saturday morning, where the other guys slept yet, I’m driven with Martin to Jordanstown. There we have visited the „nice“ pebble beach.

Weekend

Last weekend I decided to go to the beach. Yeah that’s a lie – it’s only a coast. My roommate Benny and myself got up at first (about 11 o’clock) and went to Botanic Train Station and drove to Jordanstown in the near of my workplace at Newtownabbey.

These Saturday the weather was quite good because as it was not raining. But the temperature are only about 10 degrees and it’s windy, too. This does not compare to the very sunny Berlin.  But we have enjoyed the rays of sun which comes out briefly.

In the near of the coast is also a campsite. There I found some funny basic information for the car park. The translator was not the best.

At Work

Yesterday was my first day at work. Kevin Shine, Jannik (another student) and me want to meet us at RSM Tenon at 9:30 so that we can drive together to work. But Kevin told me at RSM that the manager from NIBEC had postponed the meeting to 12:30. So I went home and came back later. At 11:30 I met Kevin and Jannik again and we went to the bus station. With the bus we have been travelling over the motorway to the University at Ulster at Jordanstown Campus within 11 minutes – by the way this is a distance of 10 kilometers.

At NIBEC we had a meeting with the director of the Engineering Research Institute Professor James McLaughlin BSc, DPhil., CPhys., FInstP., OBE (or short Jim). Unfortunately he was in a meeting so we waited about one hour. But then he told us about some projects with MiFi and medical monitoring sensors.

After this little introduction Kevin, Jannik and me drove with the taxi back to RSM Tenon. We are not sure what we can expect to this job, because Jim told us only some projects but not exactly our work. So I’m really excited what to expect.
