November 2024 - Bryan's Briefing
Hey friend,
my tonsils have recovered. A whole month without throat pain has been amazing.
Just a bit sad that I got an ear inflammation now, at least that's what the doctor guessed.
Nonetheless I applied for my British pass and will hopefully soon have it. Got it to improve my chances of finding opportunities to work internationally after finishing my bachelor thesis to earn money to finance my Masters in Korea.
Also built my first commercial website: https://fch-bc0.pages.dev/ (It's in German) Feedback is very welcome.
