Yes, I know an update is long overdue but I have a really good reason why. I've been traveling like a mad man! In the process I accumulated about 500 pictures that I have to upload into different albums on here. Therefore, I decided it would be easier for me to upload my pictures first before I head to Frankfurt tomorrow to meet Keri on Friday in the airport. (It's so unreal that she's actually coming here!!!) But, then once I'm back from traveling around Germany...

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. It really feels like a week ago I was saying goodbye to everyone to come here, yet 10 weeks have already gone by. However, when I do look back at my pictures and other posts I've already done so much since I've been here. I feel like these first 10 weeks was just the beginning of something I'm never going to forget. Starting in Horb actually ended up being really nice. It gave me time to adjust to the German way of...

Weekend #9 here in Germany was eventful as usual. Friday I was a rebel and decided to skip class to take a suitcase full of stuff to Tuebingen.

This past week in Germany has been filled with many different events. On Wednesday I unfortunately had to wake up an hour earlier than I usually do, in order to catch a train to Tuebingen. I would have to say though that waking up an hour earlier was definitely worth not having class for the day. In Tuebingen all of us Americans had to meet with some people to take care of paperwork for our stipend and citizenship. For how organized I thought the Germans are, the...

Friday night we went outto dinner in Horb, which was the first sit-down dinner I've been to since I have been here. However, now I understand why people in Horb DON'T go out to dinner. We went to the only Mexican Reastraunt in the city and it was not that great. First of all, you know it's not going to be good when I asked for no onions and she comes back to tell me that it's all pre-mixed. Yum. After dinner we headed over to Belli Arti for yet another night of...
