I was in Lucerne today, again, with baby F, and I thought about how much I enjoyed meeting you and how much F immediately liked you (and how adorable it was when you held her), and how I hope we can meet again some day πŸ’œ

Are you saying you're a horned viper? Or a F?

- it's fine to just take language classes for Egyptology, if that's what you're interested in, but you'd be missing a lot of social context.
- a lot of older people do Egyptology as a part time degree, because they're interested in it, not because they want to work in the field

Some points to consider, no particular order:
- Studying Egyptology is just for fun, you're not gonna get a job in the field.
- Basel is a hcol area, plus you pay StudiengebΓΌhren, which aren't a thing in Germany iirc?

Leipzig ist eine gute Wahl! Ich kΓΆnnte auch Basel empfehlen, eine Freundin aus den USA hat in Basel ihren Γ„gyptologie PhD gemacht, wenn du willst, gebe ich dir ihre Kontaktdaten. (Sie ist zudem auch jΓΌdisch, falls das von Relevanz ist)

What I can already tell you is that John Darnell, who teaches at Yale, is hated by basically all other Egyptologists πŸ˜… he married a student and they pose in colonial outfits for documentaries and similar, kinda icky

I'm gonna ask around if anyone I know has done Egyptology there. 😊

As someone who has studied Egyptology, sure!

It is! I recommend learning Ancient Greek or Middle Egyptian first though.

Big hugs, just read back the last few days, oof, what a ride πŸ«‚ Sounds like the right decision to me though! Keeping my fingers crossed for good opportunities coming your way 🀞

Persimmon, don't like the flavour plus I'm mildly allergic to it.
Other votes go to melons that aren't watermelon and prickly pears.
Will happily take your blueberries since they're one of my favourite fruits!

I'm torn between something odd and Swiss (possibly Mani Matter?), Landsailor by Vienna Teng, TrΓΈllabundin by EivΓΈr, J'Ai DemandΓ© Γ  la Lune by Indochine, Fly To Me by Keane or Sunlight by Hozier.

Ich wΓΌrde es definitiv als flΓΌssig bezeichnen, vor allem gegen Ende des Tages, als du dich wieder etwas daran gewΓΆhnt hattest, deutsch zu sprechen!
Ich denke, wenn du es regelmΓ€ssiger ΓΌben wΓΌrdest, wΓΌrde es sich auch sehr schnell noch weiter verbessern und du wΓΌrdest dich auch wohler damit fΓΌhlen!
