So close, yet so far...

So in a little over 2 weeks, I shall begin my adventures as a Fulbright ETA in Nürnberg, Germany. Nürnberg is a city of about 500,000 people, which is significantly bigger than good ol' North Tonawanda which has about 32,000 people. It's located in the state of Bayern (Bavaria) which is southern Germany. It is about an hour and a half from both München (Munich) and Frankfurt.

Looking back on the process that started little over a year ago, I can see how much time and effort was needed to edit those silly essays that got me to this point. Big thanks to Dr. Hopkins, because I'm pretty sure I would have never had a chance at receiving a Fulbright were it not for him. Also my mom because she put up with my tirades about no sleep, how I have little time to do the actual homework because I wanted to just work on the Fulbright essays and just general everyday things.

So, hopefully I will be able to sate everyone's curiosity by posting in this blog while gone and document all the ups and downs that come with living abroad or really anywhere on this earth.

Vielen Dank und bis bald! (Thank you and see you soon!)
