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…
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….
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.

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…
