End of Week #6

Hello everyone,

this week is almost and over and my last week at work is about to begin. I know officially our last day at work is the 30th of May but my colleagues said it’s alright  if I take the week of to do stuff I haven’t been able to, e.g go on a photo tour through Belfast.
But for now let me tell you about my weekend, OK there isn’t much to tell but still not much is better than nothing 😀
On Saturday I went shopping which was a big mistake because it was pouring the whole day and I was literally soaked from head to toe but nothing a nice hot shower can’t cure. I got myself a pair of nice beef steak and they were delicious, the meat on this island is really on of its plus points.
In the evening our Spanish neighbors held a farewell party for themselves because most of them will be leaving for Spain at the end of this week. I stayed till 2am, seeing as it was pretty boring I didn’t stay long, but a few stayed awake like 7am.
Today the weather was better and with better I mean it wasn’t raining. My flatmates took the opportunity to went shopping for themselves and to get our lunch. Furthermore for the first time since we are here we had to top off our gas card, which is kinda like a prepaid card, since we arrived in Belfast, in comparison our neighbors had to top off their gas like 3 or 4 times already and they started with the same amount.
We just finished eating diner, delicious self prepared burritos with more cheese than a doctor would call healthy.

Well that’s it for the moment, I hope you had a nice weekend and happy holiday.

Yours sincerely,

Tobias

An awesome weekend

Yesterday was the tour to Giants Causeway. First I overslept, but thanks to Stefan I did not miss the tour. The whole day was rainy, but we saw a very nice place. First we visited the rope bridge. Even though it rained very hard we visited the bridge with much patience. After a long drive we arrived at the Giants Causeway. The rain was worst at this place. We visited the Giants Causeway too. It was very slippery there. But the moment at the ocean was really overwhelming.

Today Stefan and I did a shopping tour. After this “tour” we enjoyed the sun in the Saint Stephens Green Park. Now we are going to watch Breaking Bad and relax.

 

See you later guys

Almost done

Hi guy’s,

Thursday and Friday I was able to proceed with my program quite far. My task was to program a Graphic User Interface, which processes HTTP requests and Database queries. Also, I built a lot of buttons and text fields. In the upper picture you can see my program. For a little explanation, it sends a HTTP request to a webpage (SendGrid). You get information about your email history and the status of your sent mails. These two days were very hard concerning programming, because I had many issues. But at Friday everything worked fine. Richard controlled it and he was very satisfied. So this two days were very nice :D. In the next week I’ll publish my project and connect it with the database.
