april days of productivity 6, 23rd of april

- had two lectures today, one I'm attending completely volontarily. it's about gothic architecture, super interesting! the other one was sadly a bit...less intersting

- lunch with my collegues and prof

- talk with my prof about my thesis (and the mistakes I made). It was not a very enjoyable task lol. I had to keep reminding myself that I did in fact get a good grade and this is about learning for the future

- did some more work for the museum when I got home and then went to the stable

april days of productivity 4, 21st of april

(more pictures from the last days since I did not take any today)

- quite the long university day today - I didn't even have that many lectures, just a lot of time between them

- had a lecture on medieval german literature today, which I enjoyed immensly

- used the time inbetween lectures to get some university work done (did some readings, started writing the report in my internship)

- had pretty much no time for anything else exept like 45 minutes of reading in the evening, which will be much the same on wednesdays and thursdays, so most hobbies will have to wait for the weekend

📖: rythm of war (brandon sanderson) -> 46 pages

april days of productivity 3, 20th of april

- in the morning I read the corrections and notes my prof made on my bachelors thesis (because she specifically requested it and wants to talk about it on wednesday) and I have to admit, even though I got a good grade I‘m having a hard time looking at all the mistakes I made. I had to put on a concert recording next to it so I could bear to look at it at all. I‘m not sure why exactly that helped, but help it sure did

- went to a museum in a nearby city with a professor and other students. they had an exhibition on dürer that they opened specifically for us, we even got a guided tour, it was really great

- started writing a protocol on the trip

- drew a birthday card for my grandpa

april days of productivity 1, 16th of april

- had the first lecture of the semester yesterday and another one today. everything else starts next week

- work for my professor also resumed, made some scans

- also I got offered a little remote job by the museum I did my internship at, so I will be doing that as well soon :)

- started knitting the tiny scarf (I owe youtube my life when it comes to knitting & co. I don't know why but I genuinly cannot learn anything that requires my hands from books. I need to see it. in motion.)

🌳: went to the stable, finally got to see the horsies again <3

april days of productivity, 14th of march

-> super late to this, but it sounds fun! now that my internship is over, I‘ve got to get back into my habits, study related and others

goals for (the second half of) april:

- start my masters, stay up to date with the readings and tasks from the beginning

- practice transcribing medieval texts (I got to do some transcribing from a text of newer origin at the internship, which reminded me how much I like it, but I‘m reaaally out of practice with mediaval scripts)

- knit a tiny scarf (I have a specific type in mind, but have no idea what it‘s called lol)

- try out sewing (got promised an old sewing machine by a family member, so I‘m exited to play around with that)

Internship adventures pt. 8, 12th of april

- my last weekend here, before I return home after my last day of work tomorrow

- got visited by my family yesterday, we spent a very nice day in the museum, with wonderful weather

- today it was cold and rainy, so I once again spent my day at the cafè, first proofreading a university-paper for a friend, then mostly planning and organising my master studies and the next semester

- bested the rain for a short walk through the city, they had a little market today, so it was quite busy despite the weather

🌳: rainy walk

internship adventures pt. 7, 10th of april

- my last full week of the internship is done. I‘m really gonna miss it, I enjoyed working here so much

- I got crazy news this week! I got a good grade on my bachelors thesis (much better than I would have ever expected, I was decidedly not happy with what I handed in), so I guess I‘m offically done with my bachelor and now a masters student. still can‘t believe it if I‘m being honest

- had much of the same tasks as in the last weeks, mostly working with the textiles and transcribing texts

- we had wonderful weather this week (exept for today) so my collegue and I enjoyed many walks through the museum and visits to our sheep-friends

- today after work I went to the cafè again (gonna miss this cafè too)

internship adventures pt. 6, 2nd of april

- bit shorter week for me, because I was sick in the beginning, and I don't have to work tomorrow

- no textile work this week, because the expert for that is on vacation, but I got to edit the pictures we took last week and put them in the database of the museum

- got to visit an exhibition in the museum that opened last weekend

- did some transcribing work

- looking forward to a long weekend of relaxing at home before starting into my last week of this internship

another weekend day trip

- visited pretty gothic churches and an awesome museum

- had amazing chili hot choclate

internship adventures pt. 4, 27th of march

- aaand the second week of my internship is already over, crazy how fast it‘s passing

- did some of the same stuff as last week at work, but also got to help out in the textile-collection, which quickly became my favourite part of the day. So many beautiful and colourful garments that I got to look at in depht, touch and describe. Also the expert I‘m working with on this is incredibly nice, clearly intent on me learning a lot and also having fun

- after work today I went to my favourite café again to write

- looking forward to another city trip tomorrow

🌳: does the way to and home from work count? other than that I didn‘t go outside today, cause it‘s gotten really fucking cold again. can we please get spring back?

📜: about 200 words

internship adventures pt. 3, 22nd of march

- luckily the weather was nice again today (even if at times the wind was very cold)

- went to the pond to read again - going outside to read is something I always think I should do more in the warmer months, and then barely ever do, my room and the balcony at home are just to cozy. so its nice to actually have to motivation to do it right now (my room for the duration of the internship is very small, and the only place to sit is the bed, not necesarily where I want to spend the whole day lol)

- when it got more cloudy in the afternoon I moved to my favourite café and had the best applecake ever

- went for a walk to another pond

- watched a knight of the seven kingdoms

🌳: walk

- we walked through the historic centre and along the old wall then got coffee

- I fell in love with a little plushie duck and bought him (named him lancelot)
