From Oktoberfest to Berlin

Let's get ready to rumble.

Exciting things

Best roomie ever!

Thanks Jörg!

Freiburg livin'

Hey y'all! Things are so much easier now that I have internet here. I feel like I have way more free time if that makes since. Anyway, expect a lot more posts from me!

Today has been great so far though. 

It's a beautiful day.

I did a little grocery shopping. Went to a totes cute bakery for some bread and pretzels. It came highly recommended by my teacher, Klaus.

Also, turns out you can buy ice cream flavors for some of your favorite movies here. I'm looking forward to tasting this gem: 

Oh, and in case y'all were wondering about my dirndl-owing status...

WELCOME TO THE ALBAN

Swiss Alps!

Still no internets, so I can't post a lot. But... look at all the friends I'm making!

OIL, etc..

Heyheyhey loyal blog-readers.

Still no internet in my dorm, so you'll all have to wait for pictures and videos. Devistating, yeah?
Anyway, everything is wonderful in Freiburg. We started school yesterday! Well, almost school. It's orientation/intensive language (OIL). We're split up into 3 groups for it, which I think is good. The Prof, Klaus, is a really cool guy. I may have him for an IES philosophy course later on.

As far as dorm life goes, Alban Stolz Haus is where it's at. I'll post pics soon. I hear that during the school year, the Alban is quite the party place. There's usually people hanging out in the main rooms, and they tend to be super friendly. They're also super supportive of our less-than-perfect German. We make our own meals, so we meet Germans during mealtime. Also, I love the grocerey stores by the Alban. It's so cute to walk to the little grocerey store and back every couple of days. So European! Also they recycle everything here.
Anyway, I have a room to myself, so that's cool. It was just renovated last year, so it's totes nice. We also went to IKEA yesterday to get a few things (those ultra-white dorm rooms need to be jazzed up a little). It was the most overwhelming experience of my life.

I have so much to say but not so much time...
I'll do my best to keep y'all posted.

I'm an awful blogger

Hey y'all. Sorry for the lack of posts from Freiburg. I don't have internets in my dorm yet. I'm on an IES computer now, so I don't have much time. I'll post again as soon as I can. Just didn't want y'all to think I'd given up on it.

Anyway, everything is wonderful here. Prima.

Frankfurt: day 2

Today has been good. I've just been adventuring on my own. Yesterday I spent more time chit-chatting with my hostel roomies (1 from Brazil, 2 from the U.S., all of them super nice). But today I went to the Goethe Haus/Museum and the modern art museum. That was cool.

Here's what it looked like

A nice guy there offered to take my picture. I asked where he was from and he said Korea. My first thought was "I bet he likes Gangam Style..."

If I could choose a name for this photo, it would be "White ladies? That's cool"

They also had some work by a guy who made art with words. I thought it was pretty cool.

Hey, I recognize this one.

So I thought it would be really funny to take awkward selfies with busts of Goethe

I was right, it totally was

Anyway, the museum of modern art makes you promise not to post photos online, so not pictures for you guys. But trust me, it was suuuuper modern arty. You know, anit-consumerism stuff, multimedia exhibits, lots of stuff that didn't make any sense. There was some really cool stuff too. It was really fun.

And tomorrow I leave for Freiburg! I can't wait...

Frankfurt

So the wifi at this hostel isn't very good in the rooms. The internet can't seem to handle me making a video, so I'll write instead!
Today has been crazy. I haven't slept in sooo long. But it feels so good to have a nice shower and a bed.
Anyway, I've been wandering about Frankfurt today. It's pretty great. The weather was perfect. And, I legally bought my first beer!

That's what's up.

Anyway, I plan to go to the modern art museum and the Goethe House tomorrow. Hurray for vaycay!

 Plus a couple more shots of Frankfurt:

Headin' out

Heya everybody!
I made it to the airport in Hotlanta!
 Travelling alone has gone well so far. The first flight was quick and easy, but now I have a stupid long layover. My flight doesn't leave until 4:30. It's 1 pm now. I guess I'll have plenty of time for exploring! Also, ATL airport makes you pay for wifi. Wut. I had to pay $7 to access sites that are not the airport's homepage. Worth it. If I'm going to be here for three and a half hours, I want internets.

But I'm doing pretty okay. It was hard to leave this morning though. It'll be weird being so far away from everyone. Imma miss a lot of people. It's been a weird mix of emotions. A lot of excited, nervous and sad all at once.
I'm sure I wont regret it though.
I'll keep y'all updated.

I LEAVE TOMORROW.
