I’ve been home for about a week now, and every day I miss Berlin. Adjusting back to my regular life has been pretty easy, but it’s also sad because it means that I’m not in Berlin. I loved the feel of the city and how I could just hop on the UBahn and go anywhere. During…

Heading home
I’m currently writing this from the Dublin Airport at 4:53am, where I’ve been spending the last 6 hours and where I will be spending the next 6 hours, as I wait for my connecting flight. The last few days in Berlin were busy, so that’s why I’m writing this post now. On Wednesday, I had Unterricht…
Castles, Improv, and the Prinzessinnengarten
I can’t believe I only have four more days in this wonderful country. I’ve had such a great time here so far, making new friends and learning a lot about the language I love. While I’m looking forward to being home with my friends and family, I’m really going to miss Berlin. On Saturday, I…
Scavenger hunts, trains engines, and a lot of rain

Deutsche Welle & Maedchenbier
I’ve made it through my first week, and survived (and thrived). I’ve made friends, gone to museums, eaten good food, and been to places I’ve never gone before. I’m really loving it here in Berlin. On Thursday, my Nachtmittagskurs (afternoon course) had our first Ausflug (excursion). We went to the Deutsche Welle studio, which was really neat….
U-Bahn, Doener, & Sprach-Cafes
Wow, the past two days have been jam-packed. I honestly feel like I’ve already been here for a week and a half, but I’m only on day 5. That’s how much stuff I’ve been doing. So yesterday was the first official day of class. When I arrived at Humboldt, the class lists were hung up…
