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…

Semester 2; The Game Plan

Well, it’s back to the old grind. I absolutely cannot believe how fast my two month winter break flew by. Between traveling, holidays, paperwork, moving, and my new job, it feels like I just walked out of my last final maybe 3 weeks ago, max. Whether I like it or not, the new semester has…

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…

Winter Break Comes to an End

I missed a week but for once in my life, it was intentional. The thought was to aggregate the last couple of week’s happenings into one post because I didn’t think there would be enough to talk about if I had a post per week like normal. Now that I’m sitting down looking at my list…

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…

New Job!

So, in case you haven’t been reading my blogs recently, I’ll do a quick summary of what has been going on lately.

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…

Budgeting my Life (I Need a Job)

Week number twelve was a bit more laid back than usual but as always, here’s my weekly update. Christmas Concert Sunday evening some organization rented out our roof to organize a Christmas concert. I got dressed up and stayed for a bit but it was very cold and I could hear the concert just fine from my…

Celebrating Thanksgiving in Germany (& failing)

Honestly, being only a little bit late with my update is going to be counted as a win in my books. A lot’s happened this last week, and a lot’s coming up next week. Let’s get into it! Doctors Appointment So, you may or may not have seen my post in the summer about prescriptions and my…
