This week was very productive! Monday was a casual work day from home and in the evening a bunch of floormates watched Disney’s Moana in the TV room. On Tuesday I worked in the archives in the afternoon, went on a run, and watched the European Championship semi-final. Wednesday morning was also spent [...]
This week was another week full of hard work and lots of fun! On Monday, in addition to my normal workload, I ran some errands during the day. In the evening Kacper and I went to an event at the “Amerikahaus,” a cultural institution established in the wake of WWII to promote German-American [...]
During the beginning half of the week I was still in Berlin with Kacper and his family. Monday morning and afternoon were dedicated to work, but we took a break to have a Döner lunch. Berlin’s Döner have been hyped up to be much better than Munich’s and from my limited subject pool, [...]
My plans for this week changed relatively last minute because late on Sunday night, my boyfriend Kacper invited me to go to Berlin with him to stay with his family. On Monday afternoon I had another archive visit. I also had to run into the state library to accomplish a quick task. I [...]
On Sunday some floormates and I took on a demanding but wonderful hike through the Alps from the small southern Bavarian town of Kochel am See to the neighboring town of Ohlstadt. This link provides an interesting overview of our hike. This site is not an official site of the [...]
This week was full of mini-adventures! On Monday me and three floormates set out to play soccer. When we arrived at the small concrete field, there was already a group of teenagers kicking the ball around, so they asked us if we’d join them to play a game. Of course, we agreed. [...]
This week was calmer than most, so I mostly worked and caught up on chores. On Monday I got a "Schnelltest," or rapid (Covid) test, for some peace of mind after last weekend’s trip to Vienna. Afterward I enjoyed the nice weather by getting some ice cream. This trend continued the following day [...]
Whit Monday, the Monday after Pentecost, is a holiday in Germany, so with everything closed, I took the opportunity for a workday. Tuesday and Wednesday I returned to the Bavarian State Library to work with the “Die Kunst im Dritten Reich,” a Nazi art publication. Thursday I was working on some diagrams from [...]
With the falling number of Covid cases in Munich, the 10:00 P.M. curfew has been lifted, which gave me and a floormate the opportunity to take a lovely walk and see the historic city at night. On Tuesday I had an appointment to work in the State Library and when I returned to [...]
