Today my new English course called Academic Presentations started. During the course, we have to do three presentations which will be videotaped and analysed. The group is very mixed: International students, PhD students, university staff and even lecturers. I think this will be an interesting experience.

Besides university :

• Hendrik’s birthday with big pizza-session on Tuesday
• Kathi’s birthday with new insights into “Austrian” language on Wednesday
• Beach volley with my incredible mentor group today

In only seven hours I’m on the way up north, beyond the polar circle. Our weekend trip will show us the ancient Sami Market in Jokkmokk, the endless wilderness of Lappland and the world’s famous Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi. We will spend the nights in Gällivare and Kiruna. Be curious about the travelogue!

Have a nice weekend!
