I have been living in Heidelberg, Germany for exactly one month now and it has been great! When I first arrived, it finally hit me that I was in another country for six months. And I was all alone. I thought I was crazy for coming here, but then after a few days I remembered how incredible this opportunity is. I just completed the month long intensive German course the other day, which helped me brush up on my German, which was pretty rusty when I got here. Over the past month I've had the opportunity to go see some of the incredible sights Germany has to offer. Naturally, the first thing I visited was the castle in Heidelberg. The view was incredible!
I also visited Freiberg for a weekend with the other students in the UMass program. We hiked up a mountain and could see everything. It was so cool!
The preparatory German course gave me the opportunity to meet so many people from all over the world. I now have friends from Portugal, Italy, Australia, Brazil, and many other places. It's really cool to be able to understand different perspectives of people from other cultures. So far this has proved to be a very rewarding experience.
