Week 8: Parks, Peacocks, and Project Hail Mary
I cannot believe this is my final week in Berlin. Time has gone by so fast. Looking back at the past few weeks, it feels crazy how quickly everything has happened. With that, I feel like all the traveling and constantly being on the go is finally catching up with me. I think ever since…
