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…

Orientation Week; Step 1 of my Masters Journey!
This week has been so eventful that it probably should have been broken into a number of posts. Sorry in advance for its sheer length. Outdoor Campus My week began on Monday with a short speech by the Master of Finance (MoF) director, Dr. Julia Knobbe. Her speech, as with the many others she gave throughout…
All Settled in to Offenbach
Well, I made it! I am officially in Frankfurt, Germany. Now that I am here I think the tone of my blog will be changing to be much more conversational. I already have so many impressions and cultural differences that I want to share with everyone but I think that I will save those for later…
3, 2, 1 – Liftoff
I cannot believe this day is finally here. I have been planning and planning this trip for so long and for it now to finally be here – to be leaving America in just a few hours; it’s unreal. I am so emotional right now. I cannot decide if I am happy or sad; excited…

Who doesn’t love food? One of the best parts of traveling is undoubtedly sampling local cuisine. There is a long list of foods I’m looking forward to enjoying again that I just could not find in the US and foods that I will be sad to leave behind because they’re impossible to find or just not the…
My Luggage
You’ve seen what I’m going to pack, now I thought it was time to show you what exactly I’m going to pack it in. I’ve used each of these pieces enough to give you a pretty thorough review. I’ve you are in the market or just curious about what I’m using, read on! I own the Fallbrook,…
Stock Up
As the final installment for my Week of Packing Prep I’m going to explain what and why I will purchasing in the USA and taking with me in my suitcase to Germany. It may be surprising to some, but even though Europe is very similar to the US, there are many cultural differences that reflect back on…
