A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The last 12 days have been filled with friends (both old and new), learning, reflecting, discussing, eating, drinking, and generally filled with life. I met, for example, a girl who is doing one of the first experiments of her kind in Nuclear Fusion, which would be a clean and safe way to "create" usable energy (quite the ...

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Sunday, May 29, 2011. It's hard to believe that there was a time when I was utterly unsuccessful at being German. I often wondered in those step-cleaning, bureaucracy battling, oh-my-god-it's-raining-AGAIN? Moments if I would ever have the chance to write a blog post where I could say "Ahh, finally. Germany- I get it! It only took me 9 months to c...

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. The story of a year. Nostalgia, and the very misguided thought that if I avoid posting re-cap like blog entries this month this year will not actually ever end, have prevented me from posting and entry this June. But where do I even begin? The Journey Begins- September 1, 2010. I started the year without an apartment, but...

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Monday, August 30, 2010. As per the suggestion (er. demand) of the U.S Fulbright Program I must now say:. Lots of love,. I’m not sure at what point I can officially say I’ve started a new chapter in my life, but I think it’s at least safe to say it’s hovering about right now. I just graduated, I had a summer of reliving my youth as a camp counselo...

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgivings in America. German Thanksgiving, spent with my "Fulbright Family" was a huge success, and I'd love to tell you all about it, but I feel like we all might be experiencing a post Thanksgiving food coma. Or is that just me? I could not imagine ever having thanksgiving without my ...

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Monday, May 9, 2011. Why go on vacation when I have everything I need here? Coming back from 2 weeks of mind boggling ancient beauty, I expected to return to my cold, rainy, quiet harbor town for some detox and productivity. This is evidently not in the cards for my near future. Shucks. Though not raining (which is atypical) it is still REALLY win...

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Monday, April 25, 2011. While I am recovering from a mean sunburn after a day of reading on my Veranda in Greece (cue jealous looks) I figured its time to reflect on Rome. Oh Rome…where do I even start? The beauty of its brokenness hinting at the splendor of its former decadence? The hot-headed Italians who really did (! Speak with their hands?

A Strange Cup of Tea. An American 20-something's take on German culture. On the Street Where You Live. Bye snowy seagull. time to start thinking warm thoughts. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Am grauen Strand, am grauen Meer. Und seitab liegt die Stadt;. Der Nebel drückt die Dächer schwer,. Und durch die Stille braust das Meer. Eintönig um die Stadt. By the grey shore, by the grey sea,. And set apart, lies the town;. The fog lies heavy on the roofs,. And through the stillness roars the sea,. The story of a year.

Parents Weekend.for grown ups. Off every 6 weeks. Complaints? Thus far was mostly that of a grey, smelly, windowless waiting room in city hall, and/ or the faces of my vocational school students. I laughed before taking a closer look and realizing that the boy with the purple, green and pink hair and Dennis Rodman type p...
