Home before Home
My last night in Freiburg, we had a Drama party. Our teacher, Peter, also teaches at a school in Waldkirsch. We met up with his students, hit it off, and had a pot luck. It was a great last night in Freiburg that I’ll never forget!

Wrapping it up
It’s already been almost 11 months, and leider ist my time up here in Freiburg. I played on a womens tennis team this past year here and have made some really good friends while playing the sport I love most. Sunday was my last match, and with that, came the goodbyes (always tough for me). [...]

My internship is at the “New Media Center” at the university, and it couldn’t be better. I basically play with cameras all [...]

Zu Hause
My flight on the way back was interesting. For some reason, when the flight attendents came around serving drinks, I ordered in German instead of English. I missed hearing German already.

Auf Wiedersehen
I brought up in a conversation, the German farewell, “Auf Wiedersehen.” I noticed that I had never really heard anybody say it, and that it seemed kind of corny and old fashioned. But when we had to say our final goodbyes to all of our fellow IES friends at the end of this semester, “Auf [...]

I am Thankful
Wow! December already!? Has another year already flown by? Yup. Crazy. November was VERY busy as stated earlier. Midterms, midterms, midterms, took up the majority of the month, but as usual, there was a little time for some fun I met up with a friend, who is also studying with IES, in Munich and Salzburg [...]
