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…

The Frankfurt School visits Luxembourg
The new semester started with a bang with a three day trip to Luxembourg. Because we have a large number of new students in the second semester, the administration thought it would be a good idea to have some sort of bonding event for everyone before classes officially start. What better way to do that than…
Upgrade! New Flat
I got back from Italy Sunday evening (the week before last) and started straight back to work on Monday with a 40 hour work week. I was pretty tired that whole week and then I moved to a new apartment that next weekend which is my excuse as to why my last couple of posts are so…

After a hectic semester immediately followed by running around the country, holidays, and adventure, it was very nice to take a breather in Berlin, staying at my former host mother, Vera’s house. I got there on New Years Eve (which I wrote a separate post about) and after that crazy night, I’ve mostly been taking…
Dead Week = Studying + Exams
Well this post is going to be short and maybe a bit boring. Last week was a break for students to concentrate on studying for the upcoming finals week. At Washington State University (my alma mater) students and professors alike fondly referred to this time as Dead Week. Whether that was because the campus was…
A New Flat for Christmas (oh, & a Party)
Just a quick update on the happenings of last week. Christmas Party The Frankfurt School held a party for all the different Masters programs last week which was pretty fun. There was great conversation and lots of gluhwein had by all. For those who don’t know, gluhwein is a wonderful spiced, warmed red wine drink…

I got dressed up and stayed for a bit but it was very cold and I could hear the concert just fine from my…
