About Me

My name is Sarah and I'm a senior music and theatre major at North Central College. I am finally doing what I've been waiting for since middle school: I'm studying abroad! We will leave for Germany on December 1 and spend three weeks in the homeland of many of my favorite composers: Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, the Mendelssohns, Weissenborn...the list goes on.
I hope to learn something new about the past masters to help me along my musical journey. Let's see where we go!

Day 1: The Adventure Begins

Today I've done the following:

1. Traveled to two foreign countries.
2. Gotten my passport stamped for the first time.
3. Ridden in a German taxi.
4. Stayed at a German hotel.
5. Taken the S-Bahn.
6. Gone to the West Berlin Soviet War Memorial.
7. Gone to the Brandenburg Gate.
8. Gone to a bunch of government buildings and Embassies.
9. Gone to a Christmas Market.
10. Drank Glühwein at a German Christmas market. From a fancy mug.
11. Eaten schnitzel at a German (and Italian and Middle Eastern???) restaurant.
12. Eaten a food I can't pronounce or spell (it involved chocolate and marzipan...yum).
13. Gone tubing down a giant snow hill in the middle of Pottsdammer Platz. Twice.
14. Gone to an internet cafe.

All of that and I can't even get my phone to display the correct time.

This has been an amazing (not to mention 30-hour) day.

*This post was written on December 2nd, but due to crappy internet and phone problems this was the first time I could post it.*
