Living in Genf

So this post is mostly a test on how google buzz interacts with my blogger account. Also of note, after a somewhat shaky start I am finally settled into a place in Geneva. I'll be here still the end of April when I am moving back to Victoria for what I hope to be the final stretch of my PhD.

The shaky start was mostly facilitated by the fact that two days before I left I got an email from the guy I was supposed to sublet a flat from once I got to Geneva that things didn't work out after all. Lukily I could crash with some friends (thanks J-R and Lorraine) till I found a place. I now live in Meyrin which is nice and close to work, sharing a nice flat with a swiss businessman and a physics PhD student from Italy. Both seem rather nice, and I am starting to feel at home.

Once that I was moved into the new place I also met up with some friends to go skiing on Sunday, taking advantage of the close by French alps. It was a great day skiing, Carly posted some pictures on her blog.

Now work is getting a bit more serious, but there is also light at the middle of the tunnel.
