Photo hunt at Royal Botanical Gardens
After a quick wash, I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens around 1 p.m. There, Cynthia and Angela joined me in a Photosoc photo hunt. There were about six groups in total, around 30 people.

September 23-26: Uni, trivia, running, guitar
September 23: Beyond the Genome lab wasn't much of a lab; it was basically just computer analysis, but that was fine. I had a great time with Tanya. On my way home, I was bombarded with people trying to get me to participate in the student election. I…
September 21-22: “Farewell” and study session

Tour guide day 3: market, museum, gardens and drone show

Uni, book fair and carillon tour
In the morning I had another applied neuroscience tutorial, where we had to answer some questions in a small group, and at first no one said anything... But luckily, right afterward they were willing to work together properly, semi...

September 11: Lab went well today. I spent ages working on a silly calculation, but I finished what I wanted to. In the evening, I went with the "lobotomies" to a science trivia activity organized by a bunch of science student associations. There were...
Mass Trauma Simulation, uni and SUMS
Got up early and went to Holme Building for a mass trauma simulation I'd signed up for as a fake patient volunteer. Apparently, I'd misread the time, so I was half an hour early. I worked on some uni stuff.
