This week turned out to be a bit lazy but I still have some fun stuff to share with you all. Darmstadt On Monday I went to visit my friend from Darmstadt. It was so good to see her after having not seen her for over a year. We went for coffee, ran a few errands, and…

Homecoming Party in Germany, Global Finance Lecture & Student Parliament
Back on track! Boo-ya! Globalization through Finance Lecture The first event from this last week was an absolutely amazing lecture by Dr. Frannie Leautier, Senior Vice President of the African Development Bank. It was honestly a bit sad to see how small the turnout to the event was. I think a lot of my fellow classmates…
Halloween in Germany? Yes it’s a thing!
I don’t know how the heck I’m still behind on blog posts! I thought that I had caught up until I realized that Halloween was two weeks ago instead of one. Oh well, here’s what happened regardless. Halloween I know that Halloween is an American holiday and I had been told numerous times not to…
MoF Concentrations & a Cringy #TBT
The halfway point turned out to be very symbolic this semester. A couple of major decisions were made this week indicating an established level of confidence and security in our new environments. Concentrations The major event for this week and in fact, a major landmark for the entire program was the official selection of our concentration. The Frankfurt School…
Officially a German Resident!
Why am I getting worse instead of better at releasing my blogs on time?! Financial Technology Conference The major event of this week was attending a small conference about an upcoming financial technology alliance called the European FinTech Alliance. Even though it was very small, we got the opportunity for some great networking and a bit…
Stunning Festival of Lights in Berlin
What a fun and busy week. This is what I signed up for when I moved to Europe. Botanical Gardens I originally thought that this week would be very boring so I decided to spend a day in the Frankfurt Palmengarten. It was very nice and I got many beautiful photos. It’s rather small compared…
Busy Week; Module Waivers, Meetings & Bunnies!

Skippin’ Classes The first major event of week 4 was my Module Recognition Waiver getting approved. Although I had applied to skip all five of the introductory classes, I…
“Hiking” in Bensheim, Party in Frankfurt
Look at me, all disciplined and what not. The fact that this post is on time is honestly probably more of a result of the exorbitant amount of free time I have had and the boringness of my classes so far. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were very lazy days. I did a bit of shopping and read…
The Dust has Settled
Well, I can see that a weekly Sunday posting format isn’t working very well. I’ll have to put some more thought into my schedules. This week’s update will be pretty simple since the mundane routine of classwork has started to settle in. I had all five of my classes last week including the first class…
Syllabus Week just ain’t the same in Germany
I’m sorry to say that Syllabus Week in Germany is not so Silly. In fact, most of the teachers here seem to have no concept of an introduction or laying out expectations for the following semester. Instead, we got a whole lot of lecture; I guess we will find out on our own who our…
