You Know You’re in Germany When…
Well, I’ve been in bed sick for the past few days so I figured now was as good a time as ever to make a new blog post. These are not meant to be offensive to any German, in fact,…

Better Late Than Never!
Hi everybody! I know I’m a little late and lacking on the blogging bandwagon but I am bound and determined to get back on it. I have been studying in Jena since October and have traveled a bunch since arriving.…

Rome/Vatican City, Italy
Hello all, It’s been awhile since my last post, and now I have to make two in quick succession. First up, Italy! This trip had to be the first one I’ve taken in Europe that had nothing go wrong with…

Paris, France
Paris for Valentine’s Day. Could there be anything more romantic? The answer is no, in case you were wondering. I checked. Online. The trip in was stressful, as usual. The train system was not sharing my Valentine’s Day spirit, and…

Istanbul, Turkey
This trip. This trip here? It was wild. It started off incredibly stressfully, as most of my trips are wont to do. I had my three Arkansas buddies with me, Sloan, Alexis, and Daniel. I wasn’t too worried about our…

Copenhagen, Denmark
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. Sorry everyone, I’ve been busy! I took a trip to Copenhagen this last weekend to see a beautiful city in the north! My girlfriend happened to be there as well, which is an…

Classes, Classes and more Classes
This is actually my first week in classes, and there’s entirely too much to say! There are too many classes that appeal to me this semester, compared to those last semester, so I’m having a harder time narrowing them down.…

Whoops
Seems as I was so extremely busy this semester to post on this site. However, this semester I will be sure to post way more! To catch up, I came back to the States for Christmas, thanks to my parents…

2 Nights Roomless
So. My luck worsens. As I may have already told some of you reading this, I was locked out of my room Saturday and Sunday night. How you ask? German efficiency and user error. I had left to go grocery…

Berlin nightlife
The nightlife here is definitely different than in America. Most people here don’t start going out until 2am and they’ll stay out until about 5-6am. I decided why not and went out with some people from our group last night.…

Berlin: Days 2 & 3
We’ve pretty much done all of the touristy things; Friday we took a 4 hour walking tour of east berlin [it started raining on us, not so fun], went out to eat at a Turkish restaurant, then went on a…

First Travels
Well, this is my first post. I’ve been here one day now, and I figure I’ve had enough time to settle in. First, an account of my travels. After leaving Kansas City without a hitch, I landed in Toronto, and…

Hamburg
Last week I took a lovely weekend trip to the city of Hamburg. The city is famous for its harbor and its nautical theme. Indeed throughout the city there are ships, anchors, mermaids, and many other nautical nonsense. The people…

Berlin: day one!
We’re finally at our destination, YAY! The flight was a pretty fast 7 hours; I only got about half an hour worth of sleep though (better than what I expected, however). We left Philadelphia Int’l Airport about 5:35pm EST and…

Today’s the day!!!!
Ahhhhhhh it’s finally here! I’ll be leaving for the airport in approx. 1 hour I have been counting down the days, I can’t believe it’s time to leave already. SO EXCITED! (Except not so much for the overnight flight.) Germany,…

Fünf Tage!
There’s only 5 more days until departure! I am so incredibly excited, but at the same time I’m a little nervous. I’m confident that any anxiety I have now will disappear as soon as we land, though. I also still…

Oktoberfest
Though I am not the biggest beer fan I traveled 9 hours to the beautiful city of Munich for the annual Oktoberfest, the largest beer festival in the world! Germans take their beer festival very seriously, getting up early at…

Berlin Weekends
Here in Berlin Germans take their weekends very seriously. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are days to relax and enjoy the lovely summer weather. As such, my day began with a visit to the flohmarkt on Mauer Park. This is Berlin’s…

Packing, Packing, Where to begin?
The days that I have left in America for the year are numbered, as is the countdown chain that I made to make the days seem to go by faster. As the BIG DAY gets closer the more I worry about…

Housing, CHECK!
Yesterday, I received all my housing information, including my address. It’s starting to feel real now that i’m leaving. 20 days, wow.. Got my address and totally google stalked my building, although google maps probably didn’t give beautiful Germany justice.. As…

4 Weeks and Counting
I can’t believe I’m four weeks away from hopping on that airplane and leaving my friends and family behind for a new experience. Two years ago, I would have never imagined that this would have happened, that I’d be leaving to…

Berlin
We’ve been in Berlin for over a week now, and it hasn’t turned out quite like I was hoping. I was incredibly excited to get to Berlin, but within a few days I caught a particularly vicious cold from my…

I’m flying back home in 4 days, and I’m a ball of emotions. I’m feeling so many contradicting feelings at once, I think I’m going to explode. The next few days are either going to go by realllllly slow or…

Today I woke up to an interesting surprise. As I rolled out of bed and attempted to check Facebook, my internet was not working. I tried restarting and redoing the connection process to find a lovely little message: Sorry you’ve…

The excitement for the day was definitely the class Fußball game. Class went as it usually goes, without too much excitement. And after class, I had lunch as I usually do and took my afternoon to write some postcards. It’s…

It was an exciting journey to Dresden today! I was a very hip college student today on the train with my GRE flashcards, in an attempt to start this wretched process of preparing for this exam. I actually found a…

Today was quite the day. Class was a little unusual today because we had our phonetics lesson before our regular lesson. That was kind of a curveball, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. My group project was interesting. We choreographed an…

I apologize for my lack of pictures for today. Today was a day of class, and not really a day of seeing anything interesting. It was a pretty average day. I went to class and I really enjoyed it. My…

On my way to class this morning I noticed huge piles of sand all around Augustusplatz. I thought it was very strange and at the time had no idea what it could be. After asking a few people I found…

Ah trouble in paradise. Today was the first (and hopefully last) pretty bad day. It was just one of those days where nothing seems to go right. It all started with my class. The class itself wasn’t bad, I was…
