Hi!
My name's Jolene and I'll be blogging for the May Term Abroad trip to Germany. I'm just dropping a line in here quick before our group leaves for Deutschland tomorrow! This week has flown by with moving out of my dorm last week, seeing friends and family before I leave, and shopping for last minute things for the trip. I'm actually still in the process of packing as I type this. (I'm giving myself a break)
Before I writing anything else, I'll tell you a little about myself and what our class will be doing this month while we're abroad. I'm a second year (almost third) English major and German minor from Greenleaf, WI. (Just south of Green Bay) So my parents will be driving me down to Chicago tomorrow to meet up with the rest of our class and instructor before we fly out to Frankfurt, Deutschland. From there we will be taking a bus to Marburg, where we will spend most of our time while we're across the ocean. We'll be studying the German language Monday through Friday in the mornings at a school there called Speak+Write. Don't worry, it won't be all work and no play. We'll be taking two larger weekend excursions as a group; one will be to Berlin and the other to Munich. Lots of historical, political, and cultural sites to see in both cities, but I'll write about those once we've seen them. Also, we students are given a free weekend to explore other cities of our choice in smaller groups. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing that weekend yet, but a few of us might possibly take a train down to Salzburg, Austria for a few days. I'll keep your updated on those plans.
Well, I better get back to packing so I'm not scrambling in the morning to find my hair brush or something. My next post will be from Germany!
Bis spaeter! (til later)
Coming up: How our flight went and our first day in Deutschland!
