A Week Backpacking Portugal!

If you didn’t already know (I only mentioned it a million times), I spring-breaked in Portugal last week! I had such an amazing time so naturally the post is ridiculously long. I apologize in advance but I really did a lot so it was hard to condense. If you want to know how it went,…

Packing for Portugal

In just a few hours I will be hopping on a plane to a beautiful island. Unfortunately, the weather forecast says that I should expect warm rain for the entire trip. This has made packing somewhat of a challenge so I thought I would share my list with you.   I was tempted to skip…

Tests, Tests, & more Tests

So this post is a couple days early because tomorrow I will be hopping on a plane to Portugal! I thought I would give a (very quick) summary of this week like always. Stay tuned though because I will be posting a packing guide tomorrow and next week I will be able to share my…

Procrastinating Finals with Dippermess

Are finals next week? Yup. Should I be studying instead of writing this week’s blog? Uh-huh. Three guesses as to what I’m doing anyways. Guardians of the Galaxy Despite the fact that this week was the high stress period right before finals, I had no choice but to go to the Guardians of the Galaxy premiere. As…

Big Fish in a Little Pond; My Existential Crisis

The group projects are officially finished so all that’s left is cramming for exams in two weeks (during week 9). Last week was a bit stressful and overwhelming, but like always I’m going to share every gritty detail with you. Crazy Week at Work This last week was absolutely nuts at work. Why you might…

German Easter; no Peeps but better Chocolate… Tough Call

I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for this half of the semester. This week, most of the group projects were finally due, presentations were given, and the last remaining assignments planned for. While it was a decently busy week for me, it’s not really going to make for an interesting…

I Cheated on my Blog?!

Should I be writing introductions to these posts? I can’t decide. Oh well, until I become more decisive, check out my week. There’s some exciting news scattered throughout so read till the end. I’m Famous! (not really) So a while back I was contacted by Frankfurt School to write a piece for the FS Blog….

Drones, Meetings & Shopping

Ok… last up on my catch up list, week four. The weeks have been progressively getting more and more interesting which is good for those of you reading but basically just means extra stress for me. Oh well, let’s jump into things. Group Speaker Meeting I guess the most important event from week four of…

Planning for Success (in Life and in Masters Thesis)

This week was also a bit boring although I think I have more to say than I did in Week #2.  My schedule for most of this semester is super busy. I go to work from 8 to noon every day. After lunch I either study until 5 (or later) or have class until 8 pm depending…

No One Likes Group Projects but These are Alright

Oh man, you guys. I am so far behind on everything, it isn’t even funny. Let’s try to go back in time and write this post as if it was published on time. When I go to write my weekly updates, I normally remember one or two things to write about and then I go through my…
