Life in Belgium 1

It makes already more than 2 weeks I am in Belgium and I can see that the time is really flying. I start to be well organized and to be more confortable with my internship subject wich one I really find interesting.
I feel also very confortable with people in the lab, my advisor is nice and a really interesting person and I have some time with all the "staff" everyday at lunch which is really a good and full of laugh moment everyday.
Here is my desk that I share with a PhD student very helpful who accept me to monopolize his desk for 6 weeks.

You can also see the view I have from the big window in front of my desk.

So everyhting is going pretty fine, even if I start to feel really tired with all the train trip I have to do everyday, but I still enjoy it a lot to wake up every morning to go to work so that is the most important.

Beginning of my internship in Brussel !

I just started my internship yesterday at the Institute of polar glaciology of the Free University of Brussel and my first impression about here are really good.
My advisor is a very intersting and full of knowledge person and the atmosphere here is really nice.

I just got the final theme of my research and it will be :

"The preservation of burried glacier ice in the Dry Valley (East Antarctica)" and I like it a lot. It is a pretty new subject for me and I have to learn a lot about it so yet I am reading articles and thesis about it.

Otherweise, my belgien life is going ok, even if I have to wake up very early every day and do a lot of train, I feel pretty ok with it and I can go swimming almost everyday so that is the most important... of course!!!! :p
