February 2015 in pictures

A couple of days delayed, but February has been quite an exciting month. From visiting my 15th Bundesland, to a work trip to Hamburg and another work trip to Hannover to the Didacta (the big annual education fair). Though I don't have decent photos of everything (now that I'm not doing photo-a-day anymore I sometimes…

An Alphabet List of Christmas and New Year

Two years ago for my year abroad blog, to spice things up a bit (i.e. to avoid the diary-like style), I wrote an alphabetical list about my Christmas and New Year at home. It made lots of fun, as a German may say, so I thought I'd do this again. But I've given myself the…
