Foreign Service Reference List. September 7, 2015 · 4:50 pm. Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Ok, ok, so there aren’t any rumors of my demise (that I know of) but I obviously haven’t posted here in more than two months. So, the 3 of you who read this thing might have been worried that I’d met my demise….or not. In the last two months, I’ve been busy with getting settled in to life in Frankfurt, learning the ropes of the consulate and my job, and a couple of quick trips. I’ve manag...

Foreign Service Reference List. Newer posts →. March 7, 2015 · 4:23 pm. On Friday, I officially graduated from the FSI Economic Studies Course! So, that’s the news here. I hope all is well out in the blogosphere! I’ll leave you with this video from Carly Rae Jepsen (I saw her perform on Canada Day in Ottawa in 2013, btw) that cracks me up. I mean, Tom Hanks lip syncing to a pop song. What’s not to like? February 15, 2015 · 1:52 pm. Sightseeing in DC is out of this world. TWO updates in one month? The Chr...

Foreign Service Reference List. Foreign Service Reference List. Since a lot of people have questions about how to prepare for the FSOT or FSOA, I’ve decided to put together a list of resources that I’ve found interesting or helpful. It’s by no means a list of all the materials out there, but it could be a good start. I’ll update this as I think of or find more resources that can be helpful. Career Diplomacy by Harry Kopp and Charles Gillespie. The Cold War: A New History by John Lewis Gaddis. 8211; This ...

Foreign Service Reference List. October 10, 2015 · 5:21 am. Busy, busy bee. Without further ado, here are some pictures from the last couple of months (including a couple from the Paris trip I mentioned in my last post). The Bull and Bear outside of Frankfurt’s stock market. The Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. June 26, 2015 · 4:36 pm. As the title says, I’m in Germany! My boss (who is also a fellow Texpat!

Foreign Service Reference List. January 9, 2016 · 7:56 am. Well, true to form, I’ve been bad about updating my blog. The last three months have been pretty busy and I’ve had a chance to do some traveling, too. And, I had my first visitors! Christmas was really, really nice. My mom came to visit for about 10 days and we made it to three different Christmas markets, did some sightseeing in and around Frankfurt, and also visited Munich for a couple of days. My aunt also came for a couple of days. The Eiffel...

So, that’s what’s new here. Hope all’s well in the blogosphere. February 15, 2015 · 1:52 pm. Sightseeing in DC is out of this world. TWO updates in one month? What kind of craziness is this? And, it’s home to Space Shuttle Discovery! September 6, 2014 · 5:10 pm. But, Home Leave was in fact temporary (shocking t...

Foreign Service Reference List. June 26, 2015 · 4:36 pm. As the title says, I’m in Germany! Then, I left DC on Monday and flew to Frankfurt. Fortunately, things went smoothly with the flight, which was the Diplocat’s first flight. She did pretty well, and only meowed some during the last half of the flight. I had ordered some supplies for her ahead of time and my boss brought them to the hotel we’re staying in temporarily until my apartment is ready in a couple of weeks. May 3, 2015 · 11:41 am.
