In a long series of busy and exciting weeks, this one was made particularly special by a visit from my college roommates. The last time I saw them was in the fall of 2019 at a Notre Dame football game. Jess was the first to arrive, and I picked her up from the [...]
I’ll keep this post short because this week was jammed packed but uneventful. I had plenty of chores to do upon my return from Croatia which occupied most of my time. On Wednesday I participated in a Fulbright Commission organized “Meet-a-German” event, where I, as a stand-in German, gave a presentation to German classes at [...]

For the first time this year I left German speaking territory and added another country to the list of those I’ve visited. Kacper, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend, and I went to the island of Rhodes, Greece. On Saturday we went out to lunch before heading to the airport to catch our [...]
With Kacper finally done with exams, we planned on doing some traveling before the next semester starts. This week the two of us spent time in the Zillertal, or Ziller (river) Valley, which is a small alpine region in Austria known for its beautiful scenery and outdoor activities. Monday came and we [...]
I had another busy work week with nothing of note from the first few days. On Thursday I was fortunate enough to get off the archive waitlist, so I spent the afternoon there examining old construction drawings. As I made my way to the appointment, I took a slight detour in the [...]
The weather has been cool and rainy, most of my floormates are away during their break, and the archives are overbooked. Needless to say, there is not much “exciting” going on here, but I have been taking that time to get work done from the comfort of my room. I decided to combine two [...]
