Wow, so its been a while yet again. I am currently writing this blog from the French Alps, looking out our window at the ski lift and village. What a deal this week has been, but I will come to that in another blog :-) I have found an apartment in Karlsruhe. I am very excited about it, a great location, wonderful flatmate. It even has a MICROWAVE and a DISHWASHER! Can you believe it!? I almost fell over I was so surprised! I will be moving in next week before I start my internship on the 4th. Very much looking [View Full Entry]

Well, lots of changes happening around here. I am sorry it has taken me so long to catch up on the last month or so. I have accepted an internship offer with Accenture and will be moving to Karlsruhe in the next couple of weeks. Karlsruhe is in the SW of Germany inbetween Stuttgart and Mannheim. It is a fantastic internship and I am looking forward to beginning it and also doing some work travel around Europe. :-) So in between finding an apartment, Xmas, New Years, my mid year seminar, etc. Here I am. I'll try to update you on [View Full Entry]

There are lots of pictures, make sure to scan to the next page of pictures I was fortunate enough to escape the cold and dark German winter for a nice break to sunny and warmer Italy. Carolyn, Brooke and I planned this trip to Rome and Naples a couple of months ago, but I didn't realize how wonderful of a break it would really be. The weather has definitely become quite cold here, and it gets dark very early now. So it was nice to see the sun again for a while. I took off on Wed afternoon, it was actually [View Full Entry]

FYI: There are 2 pages of photos, or you can just click on one photo and see all of them. If you are printing then look for the Print Version link on the left and it will print out all pictures! So, I am really into my new Couch Surfing adventures, they have all proved to be a fabulous time and there is always some kind of activity going on in the world. I love meeting people that are so like-minded and open to let you stay at their home, feed you breakfast, in return for some friendly conversation. If you [View Full Entry]

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Family and Friends back in the states. This was my first big holiday to miss with my family, and I have to admit it was a little hard. But I was determined to make sure that we had an authentic Thanksgiving here. Hosting my first Thanksgiving was tough, but there were many firsts and I ran into a few problems, just a few... The Pumpkin Pie. I managed to locate some Pumpkin Pie filling at the Karstadt downtown. They have an "american aisle", though small, is worth while. But if it gives [View Full Entry]

Spaceman Turkey
Fitting in the Oven

So things have actually been pretty busy around Hamburg the last couple of weeks. I have now finished all my MBA apps and interviews, so its time to sit and wait for a few weeks. I am attempting to prepare a Thankgiving dinner for our celebration on Saturday, but it seems every dish is quite a challenge. We'll see how it turns out, but I am very excited about our Fresh Turkey that I ordered for us to enjoy. :-) Today was actually a bit warmer, got up to 10 degrees (about mid 40's) and the sun even came out for [View Full Entry]

Well, this update is long overdue, I have actually been a bit more busy this week than normal which is nice. I am headed to Scotland tomorrow and am very excited about visiting my relatives, the Beattie family, in Glascow! I am sure it will be a very fun weekend! In other news I had my last MBA interview tonight here in Hamburg. So now it is the time to sit and wait. I should know by early January where I will be going, which is exciting but scary at the same time! I will keep everyone updated of my future [View Full Entry]

Its been a busy couple of weeks here with lots of friendly faces! I have spent this week trying to get back to normal with school and I have now started my German language class twice a week at nights. I skipped a couple of levels from September so that is promising and im looking forward to improving my skills even more! I am continuing to apply for internships in the spring and finish up my MBA applications for next year. I still find myself with a lot of time! I am trying to appreciate the fact that I am able [View Full Entry]

I have officially been in Hamburg for almost 3 weeks. Some things are going smoother than others, but as I'm learning, if you just keep following the wild goose chase, as silly as it may seem, you will figure out where you are supposed to be. I love my apartment. I am living with a girl named Tina, who speaks perfect American English. She is actually an English major at the Uni Hamburg and has rented her room out to 5 americans in the past years. Its a cute little room, with a bed, bookshelf, a couch (that folds out to [View Full Entry]

Well as many of you know, Weimar is where I spent my two glorious study abroad summers in Germany. SMU had a program there for Music History and German, which fit my studies perfectly, so I went twice! :-) One of my great friends on the program, Justus, was placed in Erfurt, so I decided it would be wonderful to meet up with him at the Zwiebel Fest in Weimar and then he was nice enough to let me crash at his place! I woke up early on Saturday morning and headed out with the train, and was supposed to make [View Full Entry]
