Category: Germany: DDP Reutlingen

Applying for internships in any language is tough. It’s awkward having to write about how talented you are and why you should be chosen over the next candidate. It’s stressful having to proofread your Resume and Cover letter over, and over, and over again. It’s anxiety inducing having to wait for a call back from…

This is me writing about the one time I got called on in class. So we have to do a mini thesis for our semester project. There are only a few guidelines. Must be related to Accounting or Finance. Must be 12 pages long. Must be in German. Must be perfect. We´re assigned advisors whose…

Since I have missed so many blogs, I probably need to do a few to catch up to where I am supposed to be (again, really sorry about that). I guess I will write about the time that my mom and aunt came to visit me J I moved into Reutlingen by myself which was…

It´s been a while blog… sorry about that. I´ve had so much on my mind that it must have just slipped. But the blog isn´t the only thing that has been slipping my mind- I have been forgetting everything! Luckily now though I have done the first step in Organizational101 and have bought a planner…

In my last post, I mentioned going to Prague and also Cannstatter Volksfest. Prague was beautiful, and I would love to visit again when I get the chance. I fell in love with the city. The Volksfest was also quite the experience, though I enjoyed the carnival rides and game booths more than the tents…

I’ve officially been in Germany for a little over a month. It is still unreal. This opportunity has been amazing but definitely not easy. I just wrapped up my first week of classes and wow, just wow. One thing I probably won’t get used to is how many classes I actually have to attend. I’m…

Our intensive language course ended on Saturday, and we had a few days in between free of any responsibility. So naturally a couple of friends and I planned a trip to Europa Park (a giant theme park in Germany) and then a little day trip to Strasbourg, France. The theme park was really fun and had…

It’s been about a week since I’ve arrived here in my new college town, Reutlingen. Adjusting has been okay so far, but it’s only the first week, so it still feels like a vacation to me. Today, we started our first official day of intensive business German and honestly I’m a bit disappointed in the…

Almost 5,000 miles from home is where I’ll be in exactly a week. The reality of it all is finally starting to sink in and honestly, I’m overwhelmed. There are so many emotions I’m feeling and so strongly that overwhelmed is the only way to describe my current state. I am finally going to have…

In about a week I’ll say my long-dreaded goodbyes to my friends and family and I’ll board the plane to Europe. I’ve booked a one-way ticket. With no idea when I’ll see them again, goodbyes where awfully awkward when I walked away questionably saying “see you when I see you…?” It’s a funny feeling these…
