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
I can’t believe I only have one week left in this beautiful city. The past three weeks have gone by so fast. I’ve accomplished and seen so much, but there is still a lot left on my bucket list. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to check a few more things off. On Wednesday,…
Humidty, A Naked Man, & Culture
Luckily the temperature has gone down a bit in the past few days here in Berlin, but unluckily, the humidity has not. It is honestly awful how humid it is here. No matter how little I move during the day, I am still so sticky by 11:00am. Hopefully the rain this week will help with…
Paprika Chips, Toilets, & Street Cats
I know it’s been a handful of days since I last posted, but I was in Dresden all weekend and did not have my computer with me. That being said, I have done a lot since then, so prepare for a long post here. Friday was just like any other day. It started with Unterricht, and…
Tatort, German History, and gute Laune
Quite a bit has happened between my last post and now. I need to start taking notes on the things I do during the day so I don’t forget what I’ve done. I lose track of what day it is too easily and then have to look back at pictures I’ve taken to remind myself…
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…
Fill in the Blank…but in German
Today was the first official day of my program, and so, of course, this was the day I got a little lost. I messed up my train stops this morning, but thankfully my mess up wasn’t too bad, and I still made it to Humboldt Univeristaet (HU) on time. This morning was final registration for…
