I have waited over 2 weeks to write this entry, mostly because I was in too much of a shock to say anything about the situation. At this point, almost 3 weeks later, I still am at a loss for words. I feel like anything I write can't do justice for how I am feeling or for my friend's memory, but either way I will try to articulate this ( Read more... )

This was the most important part of our trip to Poland. I decided it would be more appropriate to place in a seperate entry ( Read more... )

So ends another exciting weekend in Europe. Krakow's historical district is beautiful; however that is much more than I can say for the rest of the city. For the most part, it is pretty run-down ( Read more... )

Upon conversing with Heather and Emily two weeks ago, I decided to book a flight to London for the past weekend. The weather was beautiful when I went... In the 40s, which for me is really warm and comfortable ( Read more... )

I have to attempt to find a place that will be able to provide me with a haircut. With my limited German and, as I assume, the limited German of the barbershop I find, this should be interesting/fun/oh crap.

A bunch of us rented cars and drove Munich this past weekend. Originally, the trip was planned so that five of us could drive down on Friday, ski in the Alps on Saturday, and explore Munich Saturday night and early Sunday. We cancelled our plans to ski earlier in the week because it would have been too much. Somehow, our group of 5 somehow grew to ( Read more... )

I have not updated in a week... mostly due to the fact that I have had a very unevenful week. I was one of the 5 or so that actually stayed in Berlin this past weekend- this was not by choice, however. Two seperate groups of friends made plans to go to either Vienna or Prague. I was going to book my ticket once I decided which destination sounded ( Read more... )

It's not often that you can have such a wonderful visitor while studying in a foreign city. On Thursday, Kristy and her two friends, Matt and Joey, flew in from Florence to spend the weekend in Berlin. Because of our very short "orientation weekend" (it was one day) and the amount of work and errands I have been doing, I have not been able to play ( Read more... )

If I had to pick the most profound realization I have made during the first two weeks in Berlin, it would be that I will not take New York for granted. It truly stands alone from other cities I have been to. While Berlin lives up to its reputation as a vibrant center of the "New Europe," it lacks certain conveniences that the average New Yorker ( Read more... )
