The only problem is it\u2019s not the same change in foliage you might throw up on Instagram. This German fall weather is more of a foggy, and cloudy, and this combined with my Failed Eastern European Space Program inspired campus makes fall dreary. It\u2019s also extremely cold, for some reason when designed the dormitory of which I life in someone thought it be a good idea to make a room with a kitchen, shower, study space, and bed with the only ventilation for air being the massive 6 foot by 6 foot window. Therefore whenever I make food, which is 3 to 4 times a day, I just get a wonderful harsh wind gust from this country in the average temperature of 40 degrees J. Outside of the weather, it\u2019s starting to get to crunch time here in Hochschule. Since the Germans don\u2019t want to spend their time grading papers, or tests, or worrying about homework, most classes here at Hochschule have a final test worth 50 to 60% of the final grade and some presentation of paper to fill in the rest. Let\u2019s just say that if you don\u2019t start preparing now you will pretty much die. Therefore going to the library is already a fight for a good seat or a study room. Also, I\u2019ve recently learned, that if you really want to be hated by a school population as a library you could forbid backpacks and purses beyond the main entrance of the library, so people have to use supermarket grade baskets to carry all their stuff in while at the library. The combination of this and the lack of student housing makes the library an eight of what Olin is, especially since I\u2019ve brought food multiple times at Olin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Outside of that, let\u2019s talk about one of the eight classes that I\u2019m taking this semester, six of which are all in German, because you only live once. I have a thesis to write all in German due 8:00 AM Thanksgiving day. I kid you not, that this thanksgiving I\u2019ll be writing a thesis about Accounting all in German, and afterwards going to three classes I have later that day, because you only live once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Word count: 401 &nbsp; So fall is upon us, and let me tell you growing up in Florida I was excited to see the change in foliage, which all my Northeastern friends have spoken to me about.
