This week was big socializing week. Monday night I attended a panel discussion with Landeshauptmann Pühringer at the KHG Heim Linz, which was pretty interesting. Tuesday evening was the Mechatroniker Stammtisch where I got to talk to some old friends that I hadn’t talked to in ages.

Wednesday was the IEEE Student Branch, JKU Linz excursion to ZIZALA Lichtsysteme (www.zkw.at). That really was a highlight. For starters I guess I just like the people in our group so much! They are such a great bunch people who are motivated, eager to explore, committed, a lot of fun …

The food was also awesome! Here’s a photo of the CEO of ZIZALA and our group:

It did not end there! Thursday night some colleagues and I decided to give the new Schnitzelhaus around the corner a try. To not get an overly guilty conscience because of the fat food all the time I had to go for a “Schnitzelhaus run” first (http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/chschmid/aooetr4u9gakg2ev) but finally we did it. That the three of us at the Schnitzelhaus:

Well, guess what it did not end there either, yesterday my friend Hari came by to work on his website (www.haribaumgartner.com) and later I had a rehearsal with our wind band (which did not work out, as some just didn’t show up). Today was IEEE Austria section proposal writing day, and I hope that I can clear out my head by running before I’ll go to a dance with Andrea and some friends of hers tonight …

While socializing can be rewarding it can also be pretty exhausting sometimes, I’m really looking forward to an evening of just … well … nothing …
