I Have Returned!

Guten Tag, all! I'm back from Germany, in one piece. So if there were any bets on that, please head to the nearest cashier to collect your winnings. Moving on!

I have a lot of stuff from Germany that I'd like to share, both my personal experiences there (awkward and otherwise) as well as what I learned from my summer school program and how it relates or differs from Canada. So I have a few ideas of different types of posts, that I hope to do as often as possible:

Awkward Abroad: Where I relate one embarrassing or awkward situation after another, and there are quite a few.
Mementos: Personal memories that I wanna share that aren't awkward, for once.
Edmonton vs. Kassel (or Münster in a few cases): I stayed in Kassel for a month, and Münster for about a week, and there are a lot of differences between my hometown and the places I called home while in Germany. They make in interesting comparison, especially in terms of moving Edmonton forward as a sustainable city, and where we might already be ahead.
Science of Sustainability: Getting to the nitty gritty of my program, but it won't be too science-y, don't worry.

I guess before I get started, I should explain why I didn't post while I was abroad. One reason will be detailed in the first Awkward Abroad, and involves my laptop being 'misplaced'. Another is that my program was so intensive, both school-wise and extracurricular-wise, that when I got back to my host family's house at midnight, all I wanted to do was collapse onto my bed, because I had to get up at 6 in order to get to my classes on time. So, sorry, but I made no promises of posting!
