Germany DOES have peanut butter and microwaves

It’s been such an exciting week in Trier for me, and it’s only wednesday. I moved into my house on Sunday, and my roommates cooked an awesome dinner for me complete with spargles, crepes and hollandaise sauce mmmm. It’s also stopped raining and the temperatures are picking up! I’m sitting with my windows wide open […]

guten tag!

Ah man, it was an adventure getting here to Trier finally! I rode on the plane with another classmate from Dallas, Anie, and we made it to London after watching 3 movies on the plane. She liked my idea to leave the airport and explore London over our long layover, but really we did not […]

The World is Small

Rainy Monday

Yet another blog inspired by a song. But it is raining again. Cresson and I were up at 9 today, and she was quickly off for more mysterious sorority goings-on, while I was free to roam and explore my new home for the next 3 months. I had a mission today to find “business casual” […]

I don’t know if I’ve ever visited a city without being welcomed by rain on the first day; and I don’t know if I’d want it any other way. When the airplane was making its descent into the Nashville airport, it passed through the fluffiest barrier of clouds I’ve ever seen, and little droplets of […]
