I have been a student of Yale University for a week now. It has been a pretty intense week of adjustment. I am still not 100% settled into my new life. I have no furniture. My room is a mattress on the floor with a pile of clothes on one wall and an equally tall pile of books on another wall. I wish I was more strategic with the move. I feel ( Read more... )

I’m sitting on my Houston to New York City flight heading back to New Haven. My orientation for the school starts in the morning. I have to be there at 8:30am to pick up my new student ID, and then it is official. I will be a student of Yale University. The previous few weeks have been a complete mess of craziness and adventure. I got to see so ( Read more... )

Today is my first full day in New Haven. The past week has been absolutely crazy. I was very unprepared in the last few days of Munich for the move which ended up making my very last day a stressful day of packing and sorting out DHL... which didn't get sorted out. I had no more money in my German bank account as I was 24 hours from leaving Germany ( Read more... )

In a few hours Scott arrives in Munich. He is coming here for a few days and then we are flying to London together. He'll stay a few days and I'll stay a week. Then I fly to New York and train to New Haven. Everything is completely not ready on my end of this moving. I was really hoping to have everything prepared for when Scott arrived, but it ( Read more... )

Three weeks from today I will wake up in London. I will no longer be in Germany. Four weeks from today I will wake up in New Haven, CT. Everything isn't sorted for Yale yet. I am still working out things with the Health forms and my financial aid. I signed a lease on a house... and sent over a lot of money. So hoping that it works out ( Read more... )

The past few weeks have gone by incredibly fast. I feel like I can't breath. Everything is just coming at me and the calendar just keeps creeping. Today is the first day of July. This will be the last month of me living in Europe. I'm really scared about returning. I'm also far too busy. I've even considered that I need to quit my job now to have ( Read more... )

I've been busy the past week searching for a new place to live when I leave Munich in less than 50 days from now. I am currently debating with a few options where I need to choose between having flatmates or not. I think my experience in London was good with flatmates. In Munich, it is a different story. Perhaps I enjoyed my freedom and aloneness ( Read more... )

10 years ago I graduated high school. Since then I have earned a professional degree, visited 19 countries, lived in Italy, England and Germany, lost 65 pounds of fat, helped design two buildings which are almost finished construction... plus others that are getting there, and have been accepted into Yale University for graduate school. It has been ( Read more... )

I have decided in the past weeks that I was going to make the most of my remaining time here. It began a few months ago when I decided to take a chance, and meet people. I met up at a museum with a few strangers. Two of which I later saw again, one of which has the potential to be a great friend. I've been going to meetups organized by expats and ( Read more... )
