An Update on Life

Well nothing too exciting has been going on here. In fact I spend a large majority of my time doing homework these days. No travel plans in the immediate future. I had been contemplating a trip to Scotland or London or both, but it's looking like that'll be a bit too expensive to handle for right now. My feeling at first was that I had to travel a million places before I went home, but now I'm thinking this isn't necessarily going to be my last time in Europe, so I don't need to cram it all in right now. All of the graduate programs I've applied to have graduate semester abroad opportunities in places like London for English study. And I'm still considering applying to grad school here in Bonn if grad school back home falls through. So we'll see. Just another 3 1/2 weeks before I'm home for good!

down to the wire

Well Christmas break was lovely, I got to spend some time with my family and friends, and spend a whole two weeks not speaking German (for which I am paying now...haha). But I am now back in Bonn and set to get started on a new semester of classes online through UCF and finish up my classes here in Bonn. There's a good chance I've bitten off more than I can chew with being enrolled in 21 credit hours total with both the Bonn and UCF classes...but it's only for the next 6 weeks. So I'm hoping I can just knuckle down (or whatever it is that Dad always says) and get it done. I'm still working on adjusting to the time change. I slept too much yesterday and was up until 6am this morning, then finally fell asleep until almost 2pm this afternoon. Good thing my class at 10am was cancelled! But tomorrow morning classes resume as normal at 9am so I better be ready.

Travel interests for my last six weeks include Amsterdam, Vienna, London, Prague, and anywhere really in Italy. Not sure how much time and money I will have to devote towards these goals. I'm hoping to make 3 of them come true. Not sure which 3 yet, but I'll keep you all posted. Okay well I better start on the massive amounts of homework I need to get done by Friday... much love to all!
