josh arrived on friday and left this morning. i took off on friday and monday so i could show him around the city. we did the basic tourist routine including a trip to potsdam, the capital of brandenberg state which land locks berlin.
potsdam couldn't be more different than berlin. walking around the cobblestone streets, i decided it is the most different place i've ever been in terms of look and feel. everything is super european, whereas in berlin i don't get that feeling so much. being there reminded josh of paris.
check out some pictures here: http://www.lemonpage.de/Fotoseiten/potsdam-fotos.html
also, there was a coctail party at my supervisor's house on saturday. i met some interesting people, talked to my supervisor's son (who speaks with a new zealand accent...he studied there), and had lots of good food and drink. a good time was had by all.
just eleven days left now. and seven more days of work. my current project is the integration of my real-time heart impedance simulator into the heart model. the code to do this is ready, however i haven't tested it with the heart model yet.
last nite, i received a care package from mom and dad! yay! i got lots of things to eat like homemade cookies along with other assorted creature comforts. thanks! :)
