Anna in Paris

Over. Six months, gone just like that! I'm currently on the train to Saarbrücken, the farewell tears have dried up and I can slowly start looking forward to going home. Anyway,...

The tenth week of the calendar, starting on March 8th, began with International Women's Day, for which we released a video of the song 'Kaleidoscope' by Bubs. Ronja also played...

After a relaxing evening at Mathilde's, I started March full of motivation: after a run (yes, I know I shouldn't), I cut my bangs, went shopping, had a meeting with Bubs, looked...

In the first week of vacation, I had the opportunity to teach a course in music education at the Ecole holisée in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, west of Paris. I worked with three boys,...

I started the new month of February with a relaxed Monday. Since I don't have a SIM card and therefore no mobile number or WhatsApp access, I couldn't give recorder lessons and...

The week started off with me not having a laptop charger. I forgot it at the Collège on Friday and asked Anne-Lou if she could check for it at school on Monday. She agreed, and...

I spent my wonderfully relaxing Christmas time with my family. I can say that I enjoyed the time to the fullest. Finally, I was loud again, played the piano a little every day,...

So, halfway done. Please what? It's December 19th and I'm currently sitting on the TGV towards Saarbrücken and yes, half of my time here in Paris is already over. Mixed...

Novembersonne Mit wieder einmal schönstem Sonnenschein konnte ich die letzte Novemberwoche sehr produktiv genießen. Florence hat mich gefragt, ob ich Erfahrung mit...

The past two weeks were very similar to each other: work at school, online study, nice weather, lots to do, but also a lot of nothing to do. At the Lycée, the classes were...

The first week of November and the first week of school after the fall break started off quite relaxed. I finished my blog post and taught recorder lessons in the afternoon....

I started the last week of the more or less golden October with a nice walk along the Canal St. Martin. There are some boats here that have been converted into cafes or...

Visit to Lea in Chennevières-sur-Marne

On Monday, I usually have my day off, but we had a training session with Birgit and Mareike from the Academie. On the way there, I saw a beautiful morning sky on the train and...

On Tuesday was my second day at the Lycee. I got to know new teachers and students, received my schedule, and had to do a lot of organizational tasks at the secretary's office:...

On Friday, I had my first day at Collège Corot. I will be working there 4 hours per week for the next six months, and the students at Collège are around 13-15 years old. I...

The long-awaited elevator

I started the day in a good mood, without any pain, got some organizational things done and practiced French. My highlight was the following puzzle: After the rain finally...

Yay, my stomachache is gone! It rained all day outside today and I didn't feel like doing much. So I did some OLS exercises diligently and took it easy for the rest of the day....

Radiant Anna with the Eiffel Tower in the background

My night ended shortly after 6 because back pain forced me to get up. Two weeks ago, I pinched a thoracic vertebra and occasionally have unpleasant pains. After 1.5 hours of...

Full of anticipation, I set off for Paris at 10 am and followed Nils' tip to visit the Picasso Museum because the surrounding area is said to be beautiful. Since I hadn't yet...

Today is the day. Today I'm going to Paris, a city that is not far away but I've never been to before, and I will live there for six months! It still feels very surreal. My mom...
