Well, here I am...back in the StuSie! I settled right in, but it still feels kind of odd to be here when just a few days ago, I was extremely comfortable in my own home! It's also very quiet here because Elliot and Marla are gone and that's a shame. However, Barbara, Sebastian and I have been scrubbing, redecorating and trying to make our ( Read more... )

Boy, is it freezing in Freiburg! Well, this week was a very quiet one indeed. I didn't really do much of anything and we didn't go out dancing or to karaoke because we were entirely to busy or lazy to do anything ( Read more... )

After a long, confusing and indecisive week, I've finally bought a ticket to come home for Christmas! I will be in town from the 22nd till January 6th for all of those who would like to know and I look forward to seeing everyone. I'm so excited ( Read more... )

Howdy folks! Welcome to yet another exciting Live Journal entry by yours truly. Let me begin by ''saying'' that I finally have my voice back! After sounding like a frog on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and regaining some real sound on Wednesday, I've been feeling pretty good. I still can't sing, which makes me very sad to say the least (I'm sure the ( Read more... )

So...yet another week in Deutschland has come and gone! I cannot believe how quickly time is going by... It's almost December and the Christmas market begins tomorrow!!! I'm so excited because everything is decorated and is really festive. This week was a realtively uneventful one, seeing as I just had class and did homework as usual. Tuesday, ( Read more... )

Well folks, it's that time of the week where I write about my going-ons and misadventures. This past week was rather uneventful to tell the truth, but I will try to make it seem interesting! I went to school on Monday and gave my Referat (oral report) which seemed to go over rather well. I don't think that the teacher is actually going to teach ( Read more... )

Hello all! How's it going? My life is good. This week was only really a two-day school week since we had Monday off and I felt crappy on Friday so I slept through my class. Tuesday, I received a package from the Gates, so I was really excited about that! I got a S'more and a chocolate pumpkin from the Candy Kitchen!!! YUMMY!!! Tuesday night, I ( Read more... )

I don't really have much new to say because I'm keeping busy with school and just trying to keep up with living - buying groceries, doing laundry, cleaning my room, etc. School is going well and I think I'm going to do just fine, but right now all I want to do is sleep! I'm still getting over a cold and I've been staying up late hanging out with ( Read more... )

So Monday was my first day of school. I was not looking forward to it at all after such a craptastic weekend, but it actually went well. I think once I get into the swing of things that everything will go well! My classes seem interesting and the professors seem very nice, but it's so bizarre having every class in German! They also have this ( Read more... )

For those of you who don't believe in Hell, let me just tell you that it does indeed exist. Oh yes. It's disguised as gorgeous mountains covered in huge trees and beautiful flowers, but it is still Hell. I'm talking about my weekend in the Schwarzwald (Black Forest) with the UMass program. I had heard rumors about it, but I wanted to wait to ( Read more... )
