Late again. SMH. When will I learn? Anyways, I’m breaking this weeks post down by subject instead of days of the week. Hope ya’ll like it that way. 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…
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…
Road Trip to Grandma’s House
Since my last post I have made a lot of progress towards my quest to Deutschland; here is my latest update on life. My orders at Amazon, Jet.com and eBay came in all at once so I thought that I would share my deals with you all. (Pictured below from left to right.) I replaced my old pair of…
Cutting Down on Clothing
So you have already gotten a breakdown of what I’m planning on bringing in terms of clothing in my Packing List post. What you didn’t see was the time and effort it took to come up with that short list. If you are like most Americans, you have entirely too much clothes and don’t even realize it. Upon…
Makeup Organization
Anyone who knows me know that I am slightly makeup obsessed. Trying new products, new looks, and watching endless hours of YouTube tutorials and hauls is a good time in my books. Only one problem, makeup is heavy and I have a lot of it. There’s no reason to leave all but the necessities at…
