What does your ideal morning look like?
In recent weeks, the perfect morning has been the start of a productive day. I was either physically active, going to the gym, or I dove straight into fulfilling my academic duties, preparing for my state exams and writing my thesis. However, the ideal morning ultimately looks quite the opposite. Instead of an alarm clock and the noise of the city, I am awakened by the sounds of nature. I know there is no need to rush, so I can savor the atmosphere. I make coffee and enjoy it with friends or family.
What book have you read lately?
Over the weekend, I devoured "Never Walk in Armenia and Georgia Again" by Ladislav Zibura. I don't normally read travelogues, but this one inspired me in the perfect way for an expedition that I'm taking this summer. In addition, I have recently been listening to Emily Wilson's new translation of Homer's Iliad and several other books in digital, audio, and print formats. I tend to be in the middle of several books simultaneously, get excited about new ones, and then go back to some of them later.
What is your favorite place at the faculty?
I haven't explored every corner of the building, but my favorite place is the Atrium. I thoroughly enjoy its spaciousness, atmosphere, and the illusion of a sunny day that the lighting here can create even on a winter afternoon.
