Today we toured another Novartis pharmaceuticals campus! This one was freaking phenomenal. There were like 5 restaurants and all these cool science-y things. I think it's that hardcore because this campus is the world headquarters.
We had four different lab tours, which were interesting. I even saw some of the equipment I used during my latest internship. I got way too excited. The best part was a sample chute that took samples from a chemistry lab to an analytical lab. Thus, the scientists didn't have to walk down 4 floors to do a 5 minute test on each sample. I know of some hospitals that use a tube system to move emergency tests to a lab for quick analysis. Supposedly Novartis is the first pharm company to do this method. I love the efficiency.
It was also so freaking hot outside...like 90 degrees. We all melted. And that's when we decided to take a dip into the Rhine River. You know, the river that runs from Switzerland to France and Germany. That's what people were telling me at least. A couple of days ago we saw people floating along, so we thought we'd try it out. We rented floating device/bags from the hostel and were on our way. Basically we put all of our clothes in the bag (water resistance HELL YEAH) and used the bag as flotation. It really wasn't necessary because the river ran at a sweet, lazy river speed. I was pissed I didn't bring my phone because I would have gotten mad steps due to my phone pedometer. The river was far away from the hostel, and we walked there and back.
I'm pretty sure I got some sunburn, but it was worth it. Then for dinner we got burritos...again. Still no shame people. None at all.
Favorite quote of last night was when Melanie texted me, "I'll cook brussel sprouts for you every damn day."
She then explained that she meant to send that text to her boyfriend. I cried. True love going on over there.
AND FINALLY, I figured out what my fans should be called. Like people who fangirl over my blog (besides my parents and the occasional friend who brings it up). Call them the anDEEZ nuts. If you don't get it:

It has become a viral thing to say. I don't know why. Just deal with it.
Anywho,
