16th March 2006 - Day 150

Lab today was in the afternoon as Martina K. has a Klausur in the morning. I woke up early hoping to catch the Hausmeister for the Zettel he was supposed to give me.

There was no need to. I was delighted to see the Zettel in my mailbox. On the Zettel were some standard instructions to return the room - all posters taken down, the room cleaned, the lamps mounted, all nails removed.

I didn't even nail anything on. But there are 2 nails sticking out. I'm not so confident about removing them without damaging the wall and paint.

Martina S. sent me a SMS that the experiment tomorrow needs to be shifted back in the morning as Martina K.'s exam will be in the afternoon. The professor has just informed her about it.

The lab today was quite interesting. We were supposed to make mayonnaise from plant oil, egg yolks, vinegar and salt. It doesn't taste good.

That aside, the shear stress versus shear rate graph makes more sense to me now.

The Betreuer was humourous. He asked whether the language we use back home was Singalish. Almost correct, I told him.

After the lab, I went to wander around and went tombstone window shopping as the institute was supposedly quite near the cemetary and there was a shop displaying the various designs available.

So, I need to start booking hostels in Austria.
