I did not listen to much music this week. I was busy with work. I need to catch up on newly released songs.

I went to France with my mentor teacher and another teaching assistant. We bought some cheese, baguettes and wine. That was my first time going to France! The border is very close to the city I live in and is easily reachable by car.

I read a lot in both German and English. I am currently reading the novel Holes with my 10th grade students at school.
