Hi! So it’s been a week and a half since I last posted. It’s been a pretty busy time for me, as you’ll see in the next couple posts.
Here are some Bastille Day fireworks for you! I got to go watch, and then there was live music and people danced and it was pretty cool. One thing that surprised me, though, was the lack of flags? I think I saw one. Which is not much compared to Independence Day in America, or literally any day in Denmark. I guess the French aren’t as crazy about their flags?
Anyway, after that, I had a couple days in Strasbourg of sending emails to people I want to interview for my research. I also caught a cold at this point- unsurprising due to my recent international travel, but unfortunate timing considering I managed to lose my voice for the only time this summer that I truly needed it, for a Skype interview that I was lucky to get rescheduled. For the weekend I headed off to London for a few days, and then to Marseille. Quite the dichotomy. As of late last night, I’m back in Strasbourg and prepping for a couple interviews for later this week. After a week of traveling, I think it’s time to make myself a schedule so that I can actually be productive.
Posts on London and Marseille are in the works!
