16.09.2019// back from the Summer School in Cracow, back to my Master Thesis. After the summer break, I’ve been feeling very productive, I’m writing regularly in the library, about seven hours a day, six days a week. I’m not rushing or cramming, I also take my time. I don’t write after dinner, I regularly go out for concerts, drinks, theatre, cinema ( also because after getting my master degree I won’t have any student discount for cultural activities). Actually, I’m enjoying this Masterarbeit thing a lot.
