This day today has shown that apparently I’m not completely incompetent at being productive after all.

Now the only question is whether this is due to a sense of achievement, the sight of an end, or the desire not to waste the time when my girlfriend is with me. Maybe it’s just a little bit of everything.

Only 6 weeks left until I have to hand in my bachelor thesis. But I am very optimistic.

I just closed my LinkedIn profile. It just didn’t make sense anymore to have me constantly spammed with annoying emails and messages. I have already signed a contract that will start as soon as I finish my studies. And should I be looking for a new job at some point, there are still plenty of other options besides doing it on this platform. So bye-bye, LinkedIn! 👋
