One month on AI

It was one of the fastest months I have ever experienced, except last three exam periods:) That's why I guess it is worth summarizing. I'll do it in two parts - recent updates (kind of random things that I haven't mentioned so far despite being relevant) and overall (self)reflection.

Relaxed week
On Monday there was a MMM as usual, but unlike any other time since I'm here, only current team was present ("newies" have left for planning last Friday). Dey showed his friendly side and cancelled almost all rules at the office, so that everyone enjoys relaxed atmosphere when it is not necessary to play role-models:)


IS corner
Several weeks ago, IS corner has been moved to different location (as outlined here). This place is fabulous, you have perfect overview of the office! The only disadvantage is that it is quite busy these times...

Diverse team dinners
From my previous post about team dinners, you may know that due to the fact different members of different cooking teams are responsible for different parts of dinner's preparation, team dinners are almost everyday in a different place.
Usually it's a room in a dormitory, but sometimes it is more unusual... like in my room:)

For example yesterday's team dinner, held in 3rd AI house (dorm, my house and this), was in fact "Greek banquet"... hmm, so delicious!! :)
In the pictures below you can see one of last week's team dinners organized at the roof of Hofdijk (dormitory).


Overall, team dinners definitely overexceeded my expectations. I will miss these evenings for sure!

Culture, Harry Potter
As I have already written in many posts, social life is very rich, the same applies for a cultural life. There is 50 people with different preferences in the office, so there is sometimes too much options:) Because I have recently skipped a piano concert, I couldn't have missed at least the premiere of a new Harry Potter movie!
Check here which character you resemble... I'm Dumbledore:)


Well, I wanted to (self)reflect as well, but the post is long enough as it is, so I'll keep this topic for some another posting:)
I'll also bring update about my work on Tempus project.
Coming soon...
