I mostly relaxed this week, and started reading the texts for the next units of Ethnographic Film and Digital Anthropology.
Next week school will start again, and I’m also super excited to do some proper work as well. That feeling of January, start of the year and all. Yes, the days are dark and Berlin is miserable. But I see it as just another reason to increase my screentime.
