Busy days
The last couple of days have been pretty busy...
On Thursday we had our annual Marine Tech ski-race, Skiregattaen. The weather was not as perfect as last year, but at least it did not rain. It was as fun as always. It is not a classical ski-race; the track consists of a jump, a hill, some mogul skiing and a bar where you get a drink per round. Prizes are awarded for longest jump, highest jump, most rounds, best outfit etc. We also had dinner at Studenterhytta, and after-ski at the Ship Lounge.
Yesterday, as part of my Computer Methods course, I visited the Department of Petroleum Engineering, and looked at their VR RAVE. It was quite cool to move around in a three dimensional simulation of an oil-well, wearing 3D - goggles. They also had simulations of landscapes, a leaf and a human torso.
After that I met waterfall8484 at her hotel, it was very nice to see her again. She is in town these days to play in the National Championship for janissary bands.
Then, yesterday night we had the long awaited moustace party, plenty of rakfisk, beer, aquavit, ugly moustaches and matching costumes.
Today I had planned to hear waterfall8484's band in concert, but I did not get there in time. Anyway, I met her afterwards and we listened to another band, talked to other people in her band and we just had dinner with some of them. Actually, someone thought we were siblings! The thought that we look alike has never occurred to me before, and I still cannot quite see it.
She managed to get hold of a ticket for me to the award ceremony and concert tonight. I am looking forward to that, it was very good the past two times.
