Sophie is to visit in Dresden and finally we got a chance to see us. Since she is also back in Germany, she also started university and moved to another state, we can’t see us that often. So I was glad to see her, spend some time with her and we got to catch up. So she came over and we talked, and talked, and talked. Just what girlfriends do :-)! Later we went out and bought some groceries to cook. Back home we mad paste with salmon, zucchini and tomatoes. So good! Of course we had some wine too. It was really nice and it’s good to talk to somebody who was/is in the same situation than oneself. So we could talk about how it is to be back in Germany, back home and how much we miss our American families, the kids and also the culture. Speaking about it makes it much easier but it’s just than you can’t talk to everybody about it. Probably the most couldn’t understand.
I also got to talk to Ross, Tara and the kids today. It’s great to talk to them and see them over the camera (thx to skype). The boys are growing so much and oh my gosh Ryan is talking so much!! It’s very funny. Adam was a little shy today but also fun. Seeing them like this, is like I would sit right next to them – just all our hugs and kisses are missing. But I hope we get a change to make this up when I come to visit next year!

Today I went to my first kickboxing lesson. Well it was more like a try-out. But it was very great. The workout is amazing, I was in a lot of pain but at the same time it just felt great. And it was fun too! You just use your whole body; it’s a totally new way of fitness or sport. Next week I’ll try Sky-Kickboxing. This is more like Fitness-Kickboxing, not as intense. Let’s see how this is going. But I really like the idea of doing this. It’s just not as cheap as I hoped it would be.

My parents are in town, so my dad and I got a chance to pick up my desk by Ikea. It’s great to have the desk but still it’s missing ‘his legs’ – they are still soled out, which sucks. So I need to wait more days/weeks/months. But we also got to go into another store and bought a new lamp for my living room. On the way home we had to rush, because my grandma invited the whole family for dinner (it was her birthday on Tuesday) and we still needed to change cloths. Anyway, we’re late! But it was a nice night. The restaurant was very good, great food and wine. And of course I got to see my siblings, my uncles, aunts and cousins. Very seldom those family reunions but I love them. And I guess my grandma was happy to have us all there too!

After two works of work and a lot of bringing work home it was time to go out. So I met Ise, she studies with me, at a Mexican Restaurant. We charged some appetizers, some cool drinks and a lot of first experiences from work. It was nice to go out for a few hours and catch up with her. I really need to try this more often. But I’m still very exhausted when I come home from work and usually work isn’t done by then. There are always some more things to do. But still: that’s the way I want it!!

Day of Marcel’s Birthday. Since we had a short night, I decided to sleep another few hours around 11am. At this time Marcel was visiting his mum and also his dad. Later he picked me up and we went into the city, of course having coffee by Starbucks. And we went out to dinner again. This time we went to a Czech Restaurant and had dumplings with goulash – so good!!! Then it was time to get ready, we met some other friends at a Bar to celebrate his Birthday. It was so much fun … just a great day and night. Happy Birthday Marcel!

My first week at work is behind me. And I can’t complain. I’m starting around 8am and usually don’t get out by 5pm. It’s a big change, I’m very tired when I come home and I just wane sleep. But I think I’ll get used to it – I mean I’ll do it the next three years and when I go to university I even need to get up earlier. But all in all it was a great first week. My co-workers are very nice, my boss too. I can learn a lot there. And even my boss seems to be pretty happy with my work, today he came to me and said that he needs to talk to me. Of course I thought I did something wrong, but he set down and said that he never had a student before who is so hardworking, passionate and brings so many new ideas. Seems like I have done something right …
After such a good week, my weekend should be even better. Marcel is in town, juhu! He picked me up from work and together we went to my apartment. It was the first time he saw it – actually the first time anybody saw it (besides my family). It’s still not finished, there are still so many things to do but I think he liked it :-)! Anyway, it was good to see him, we went out for coffee and dinner. Since Dresden has a Starbucks of course we went there and had Sushi later, yummy. Waiting for Danilos call, we picked him up later too and drove to a friends house. There was a small surprise BBQ for Marcel (it’s his Birthday tomorrow, but psst)! It was freaking cold but we still were sitting outside, eating food which was cold too and just getting some warm fingers from the bonfire and big candles. It was fun, at 12am we could say Happy Birthday and enjoyed some warm red wine (called Glühwein). Later Nadja, Danilo, Marcel and I went home and stayed all at Danilos apartment … remembered me on our roundtrip to Canada and to New York – good times.

Friday night (10/02/2009) I went to Ikea with my parents since yesterday I have a big (!) closet, a new table and some bathroom furniture in my apartment. I’m so excited!!! Just my desk was sold out … hopefully I don’t need to wait too long for it!

Today was my first day at my new company. I met my boss a few times before and last week I already went into work, because they had to hand a project to me. So my first day started pretty early (7am) as I met my boss at the office and we drove to an event. He introduced me to the people there, told me what I have to do and just left. Great!! But actually it wasn’t that bad. I could handle it by myself and everything went well. But it was a little shock as he left so quickly and that on my first day. Anyway, as we drove back to our office we got to talk a little, which was nice. As we arrived I got to meet a few of my co-worker (some where on vocation) and saw my desk. Wuhu!!! My own desk, how exciting :-)! Never thought that something like this – just a simple desk – can make me so happy *lol*! But it wasn’t much to do, this Friday. We had together lunch and than I left pretty early. My big ‘first day’ will be Monday. Which means my boss will show me around, explain things and will introduce me to some more people. And I also need to get confident with some in-house topics. But for now I’m done and I can enjoy my first week as an official student, haha!

First day of University – how exciting! As exciting as I was, it still felt kind of normal and I wasn’t nervous at all. I meet a few fellow students right away at the train station so it was good to have somebody to talk to. It was actually a little fun, because one girl of the group is working for the other company I applied too. So we definitely had something to talk about.
Later we met at a big movie theatre and a few professors talked to us. Just general stuff, some of it was interesting and some of it just boring. But afterwards some students from higher semesters showed us the campus – which was much more interesting *lol*! We also got to try the food at the Mensa – it was okay, but a little expensive for the student budget (3€ the cheapest meal). Later we meet our tutors – two guy (on older, one end 30’s) who didn’t had to say much, weird. But I got to met more students and we got divided into to curses. All the important stuff seems to happen in the first week of university, when we also meet all the other tutors. Let’s see how this goes. But for now I’ll start with working at a new company. Let’s which me luck for the next 3 years, it will be a hard time!!
For everyone who is interested in it: I study sport management and event marketing. The college will go 3 years and is divided in theoretical phases (where I’ll go to the Campus/College) and several practical phases of internships at my company. It’s called ‘dual-studies’, if you can translate it like this. But it just means that I work and study at the same time, theoretical and practical phases will go hand in hand. And after 3 years I’ll have a Bachelor of Arts. This just by the way ;-)!

Today was the day of my trip to Austria, exacting to Linz! Close to Linz you can find the city Puchenau and that’s very Madeleine lives :-)! Right at the beginning something went wrong, of course! It never happened to me during my travels in the States but today, I missed my train. That sucked! But I could find another good train connection so I just arrived an hour later or so.
Madeleine picked me up at the train station and as always we were just very happy to see each other! Quickly we went to her apartment and got ready for a party night. It was a lot of fun! The party was outside and located at a castle on top of a mountain. We had a gorgeous view over the city, just beautiful. The end of the night wasn’t that beautiful. As we’re on the way back to the car, we couldn’t find it. And quickly we realized that it got towed away (with no reason as we found out later that night/morning)! So we called the Police and found out where the car is, found a nice girl who drove us to the city and from there we took a cab to the towing service! Crazy night! We didn’t need to pay right away, nobody was there and we just took the car, drove home and informed the police that we took the car (not that the towing service calls them and says it’s stolen or something)! Anyway, it was a bad end of a nice night and it remembered me a lot on the night as I was out in Cambridge and my car got towed away. Not a nice feeling!

It’s my first few day off since a period of just working and working. So I’m even more exciting that my Dad, my brother and I went to Munich today. The trip was planned ahead of time since we got tickes for the Allianz Arena (a big Soccer Stadium, home from FC Bayer Munich) to see the Audi Cup. But I was even happier to see my sister – it was the first time that we met after her honeymoon, of course there was a lot to talk and to tell ;-)!
Through the bad traffic we missed the first halftime of the first game. But since it wasn’t the team we cheered for, it wasn’t too bad and we could start the game with Beer and Hot Dogs! Almost a little American *lol*! Later we saw the soccer game FC Bayern Munich against Manchester United. The winning time Bayern Munich solved the final goal in penalty kick! Very great game – I missed the most famous German sport. All in all it was just a great day. Tomorrow morning we’ll drive to the training camp of Bayern Munich, hopefully we’ll see some of the players as the train and later they might even give some autographs. Let’s see what happens :-)!

OMG! I don’t even know where to start! I had one of the best weekends in my life! I had no clue of all the nice surprises my friends planned for my Birthday. Let me try if I can start at the beginning.
The plan was that Madeleine is coming to Dresden and that we celebrate together my birthday – all the other ones said that they couldn’t make it! So Madeleine came sometime around 8pm and as we went to her car to get all her stuff, suddenly Marcel was standing behind me. It was crazy – I just didn’t expect that to happen. All together we went to ‘Dam Malter’ where we meet Danilo and Nadja. Together we enjoyed fireworks and some drinks. For the next morning we planned a nice relaxing breakfast and a trip into the city to show Madeleine around. Saturday came and as we got slowly ready for our sightseeing trip, I opened the apartment door (for the weekend we stayed at my sisters apartment) and there were Ruth and Rike standing. OMG!!! I just started screaming and tears were running over my face. It was just a great moment. I never thought that I would see all my loved ones so quickly again – it was an amazing surprise! All together we went downtown and made a sightseeing tour. It was pouring but it just didn’t matter – it was just important that we’re all together. Later that day we went back home, got ready for the night. I still had no clue what else was planned for my Birthday! We drove to the ‘Neustadt’ the party district in Dresden. Together we went to Espidas a Mexican Restaurant. Since we girls got to know each other in the States we all enjoy Mexican food, so it was a great idea of them! Next thing I notice, somebody is holding his handy before my eyes and I had to find out who it is. But hey, I was right it was Sebastian. He came from Switzerland just to celebrate with us, how awesome. Haven’t seen him in months! After dinner we went to a Bar, smoked some Shisha’s, had a few drinks and met some more friends (even Mandy & Stefan came from Leipzig). At 12am they all sang ‘Happy Birthday’ for me – how embarrassing and nice at the same time. I mean we’re not in America where this is normal, haha! Anyway we had a good time and went to a club a bit later. Together we just forgot everything around us and danced until the morning came! We had a blast and probably way too many drinks. All in all it was one of the best Birthdays I ever had!!! And I’m very thankful for all my lovely friends. I can’t life without them! Thanks to Sebastian, Danilo & Nadja, Mandy, Ruth, Rike and especially to Marcel & Madeleine who organized that great and unforgettable weekend. I love you guys!!! You’re the best friends ever!!

Today way a good day than I went to another sample work. This time I went to La Play – The Beach Club Leipzig. They are not really looking for more help but I just insisted that they are giving me a change. Well, my engagement paid off and I got this job as well! It’s just great!
The two jobs are very different from each other. The waitress job is at a Café and Restaurant, most likely older people (grandma and –pa) and maybe from time to time some older man who are coming for some beers. And the job at the beach club is pretty cool: just young people, I would guess from 18 to maybe 30/35 – of course also some people who are older but you still think they are in there twenties or thirties *lol*! At the La Playa I do more bartending, people need to come to the bar to get their drinks and it’s not like a normal Bar because we don’t serve the drinks to the tables. And just the ambiance is amazing: the whole place is made like a beach in the middle of the city. There is sand everywhere, there are three beach volleyball places, a pool and people hang out on canopy beds or in typical canvas chairs. It’s such a beautiful place. Every time I go to work now, I’ll think I’m o vocation. How awesome is that?
Jealous? Than you need to stop by, visit me and I’ll make you a fantastic long drink or serve a cool beer ;-)!

Since the wedding is over and Tina and Alex went on their honeymoon, I’m back in Leipzig.
Living with my parents is weird too – I haven’t lived with them in over 5 years. But it just doesn’t make sense to move in an own apartment now than for university I need to move anyway! So I just can hope that the next 3 months will be over quickly and living ‘home’ will be alright.
The last few days I spend with writing applications for some other universities and also applying for some small jobs. It’s pretty stressful and I won’t hear from the schools until the end of august! And I hate waiting!! Anyway, I went to a Restaurant where they are searching or a waitress – just temporary over the summer months. And they invited me for some sample work (not sure if you Americans call it like this) but today was the day and I did my first waitress job ever! Kind a crazy, I know! But it went pretty well. I didn’t break any glasses, they guest very satisfied and I learned how to draw beer and how to carry three plates! Very funny stories but I’m very sure there are more to come – because I got the job! Juhu!! I’m very happy about this because I get bored so quickly without work, just being home doing nothing isn't my thing. And of course I can need the money too! They don’t pay much though but I thought I can start with this on until I might find something better to do!

JUST MARRIED
Today was the big day! My sister Tina and my brother-in-law Alex got married.
It was just the perfect day! My sister looked outstanding and beautiful. We both were pretty calm at the morning but as soon as we’re sitting in the car, I looked at her and said “That’s it” and she just looked at me and replied “Yes, that’s’ it”! WOW!
The ceremony was nice, but very official. The church wedding instead was very emotional for everybody! Both looked so gorgeous! And as it was my part to hold the intercession I almost lost it! It was just a very emotional moment and I’m so indescribable happy for them!
Sixteen cars build a convoy from the church to the restaurant – pretty amazing how effect full some honking cars can be :-)!
After we toasted to the married couple, they were cutting the delicious weeding cake and afterwards Alex was giving his gift to Tina! He pimped up her Car: the windows got a black foil on it and the whole car got some colored and pretty motives on it. It looks very cool – I’ll take a picture of it soon and show it to you guys! Anyway, Tina loved it!
Now it was time for some fun games and pictures. And the guest started to write in the guestbook and also took some pictures in the prepared photo corner. There was a digital Camera on a tripod with an automatic releaser – so every guest could go there by themselves and take some funny pictures of them. There were also provided a few different hats. I don’t know how much different pictures I took that night but I think I got at least one pictures with every second guest … good times *lol*!
After we got served dinner, the couple started with the First Dance – along with the Band, it was just another great moment! After a while all the other guest started dancing too. The band was just awesome and did a great job.
All in all it was just the perfect day! And I wish them all my love and all the best for their marriage!

I’m in Munich now; here I can spend some quality time with my sister. She is already nervous because of the wedding and since I’m the Maid of Honor I need to amuse her a little bit *lol*!
Since she is still working though, it was time to see Madeleine today. She took the day off from work and came to Munich too. We meet at the central station here and just teared up and hugged each other for the first minutes. Than we went into the city, had American breakfast (scrambled eggs with bacon) and made an English guided sightseeing tour – and of course we met some people from MASS there. Two young kids, who start going to college there, didn’t have to say much but still funny guys. Later we had a late Lunch at a Mexican Restaurant – old memories. And as always the day went by way to fast – saying goodbye sucked. Even now since we both life in Europe, we’re still too fare a part :-(! But just a couple of weeks and I’ll see her in Dresden for my Birthday and I’ll do a return visit to Linz, Austria at the beginning of August!
Later tonight, I picked up my sister from work and together we went to an original Bavarian Biergarten (beer garden) and had some Obatzer (a typical Bavarian cream cheese made from Camembert and Wheat beer) with pretzel and same spaetzle.

Since I’m home I can’t take a break from celebrating – yesterday we already had the next pre-wedding party from Tina and Alex. We Germans called “Polterabend” which means the Eve-of-Wedding Party. But it’s not quiet true, since the wedding will be next weekend but it was fun anyway.
This time we were around 60 to 70 people: family, friends and co-workers. The couple and their parents organized a huge BBQ/cookout on the property the will build a house in a few years. Everything was just great and once again they had to do some funny games and got already some nice gifts. It’s an old habit to bring old dishes and throw them on the ground. The shard (the broken pieces of the dishes) should bring luck to the couple. I personally love this habit, it brings just so much fun with it and by the time the couple tries to clean up everybody is just bringing more dishes. Well, if you got married you need a lot of luck!!
Everybody had a blast and I got to see most of my family after two years – kind of strange but well, sooner or later it would have happen anyway.

Last night we celebrated my sisters Bachelorette Party and we had a lot of fun. Hopefully soon I can upload some pictures, so you guys can see it too!
We started with some Champagne and Dinner at the Sky Café in Dresden – from there you have a nice view over the city. My sister didn’t really know that her friends are coming too; she just thought I take her out for some coffee. But I’ll never forget her face as she saw the white Limousine waiting for her outside of the restaurant. I still hear her saying “But they are not waiting for us, are they?”. Way too funny! We took some pictures with the Limousine and somehow my sister got on it too … crazy. And again, we got another Champagne and another, and another…! We drove at least for an hour through the city; sometimes we stopped, got out of the car and my sister needed to accomplish some funny games. And everybody was just looking and taking pictures of us. Later on we also meet her fiancé and his friends. Now even more random people took pictures of them and the group.
After a while we needed to say goodbye to the Limousine but started walking through the city – still we had more work to do for the bride-to-be. Here just a couple of her tasks: 3 reason for marriage and 3 reasons against marriage – Find a guy with the same first name than your fiancé – Collect 5 cell phone numbers from single men – Take a picture with 5 strangers – Sell 30 red Roses to random people on the street. All the tasks were completed but selling the roses was the success fullest of all of them. Tina sold 30 red Roses for 75€ … how crazy! That financed our third round in the bar *lol*!
Not sure when I was home last night, I just remember that we all had a blast and a great, great time! Thanks to all the girls who helped me to organize this party for my sister and for making it so special!!

Later on we also meet her fiancé and his friends. Now even more random people took pictures of them and the group.
After a while we needed to say goodbye to the Limousine but started walking through the city – still we had more work to do for the bride-to-be. Here just a couple of her tasks: 3 reason for marriage and 3 reasons against marriage – Find a guy with the same first name than your fiancé – Collect 5 cell phone numbers from single men – Take a picture with 5 strangers – Sell 30 red Roses to random people on the street. All the tasks were completed but selling the roses was the success fullest of all of them. Tina sold 30 red Roses for 75€ … how crazy! That financed our third round in the bar *lol*!
Not sure when I was home last night, I just remember that we all had a blast and a great, great time! Thanks to all the girls who helped me to organize this party for my sister and for making it so special!!

06/17/09
I just came back home and everything is just weird. All the cars and streets seem so small and even my parent’s house seems different and smaller than I remembered. I already know that it will take a whole lot to realize all this.
Our flight was okay, even though Marcel and I couldn’t sleep. We watched some movies, tried all the Lufthansa food and had a few drinks. At the airport in Munich was it time to say good bye to Marcel – pretty sad! It just felt lonely from there one and I had to wait two more hours for my flight to Leipzig! But the second flight was on time and after an hour I was back ‘home’ (btw: where exactly is home?). By the time I was coming out from the airport my parents weren’t even there, they were late – how typically for my family. But my anger went a little down as my Dad picked me up in a convertible black Mercedes – what a nice, nice car! Of course all my luggage couldn’t fit but my Mom and my Brother were there too. So they could take home all my stuff.
Now it’s around 4pm here – which means 10pm in Boston. I’m awake since almost 36 hours – I hate having a jet lag. But I could finish the last work for my sisters Bachelorette Party.
For now I’ll go to bed!
Good night everyone!
