http://melissasdeutschland.blogspot.com/2009/07/one-of-things-i-am-trying-to-preach-to.html
Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Friday, July 17, 2009. Much to do, much to do. One of the things I am trying to preach to myself is calm. Bit by bit I am making headway in my papers - one is almost finished, and I met with my professor today about the second one. I wrote a Klausur (final exam), or rather I took. What would be the right word there? Birthday at his apartment in Wedding. I am happy to take a break from my papers, and glad to take advantage of this warm (too warm? One more final exam (STUDY!

Ich fahre nach Deutschland...: Last morning in Berlin
http://melissasdeutschland.blogspot.com/2009/07/last-morning-in-berlin.html
Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Sunday, July 26, 2009. Last morning in Berlin. Today is the day! I will be driving across the country to Karlsruhe with Robert's mother, Helmut, Tommy and Steffen. But first a relaxed breakfast of coffee and croissants with Nancy, before I go back to my apartment for the last time and schlepp my heavy luggage down five flights of stairs. And hopefully I can make a quick stop on the Kreuzberg (despite the rain) en route. In the meantime, I have said many (sad! Wie's richtig is',.

Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Thursday, January 29, 2009. 13 wonderful (unfassbar) things from January-. Okay, fine. I confess. YES! Here are thirteen pieces of my month that I want to share with you. In the spirit of German orderliness they are listed in order of how great they were and are in my mind. Enjoy partaking in my January, and, of course, my procrastination. Sold for the cheap price of 5 Euros on the gourmet floor of the KaDeWe. What a deal! 11) My favorite German names. Cow - Muh (english: same).

Ich fahre nach Deutschland...: August 2008
http://melissasdeutschland.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Sunday, August 31, 2008. I have arrived safe and sound in Berlin. My smiling host family picked me up with my excessive amount of luggage from the Jugendherberge about an hour ago. We walked to their apartment, a beautiful high-ceilinged Altbau with internet and many books on German philosophy. They offered me Elderberry-soda and showed me where I'll be living these next few weeks - what a nice room! Much to explain, much to tell. We did research on Novitzki and I looked up ru...

Ich fahre nach Deutschland...: Auf den neusten Stand bringen
http://melissasdeutschland.blogspot.com/2009/08/auf-den-neusten-stand-bringen.html
Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Monday, August 31, 2009. Auf den neusten Stand bringen. An update on my German. Now that I am home a lot of people have asked me the following question: "So, you must be fluent now, right? German continues to frustrate me. I read a wonderful book that I had started in Berlin called Selam, Berlin. Will continue to mystify me till the end of my days. Anna was very confused, and asked me the next day what "Weide" I was talking about. Apparently that can either mean a field, o...

Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Du bist so schoen-. A Week Away: Weimar and BUDAPEST! The free land of Thueringen, strong and proud of its early wars of succession. I guess we could call it the Texas of Germany…? Robert will surely disagree ☺ Nonetheless it is the small-city that the best of German literature calls home. We left for the KZ ( Konzentrationslage. But the most important thing to remember from that question is that Germans large and small ask themselves the same thi...

http://melissasdeutschland.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Ich fahre nach Deutschland. Sunday, March 22, 2009. Has the sun really come to tempt Berlin with hints of springtime? I’m not expecting that the clouds and misty rain cover will never return, but I am pretty damn excited that Berlin held onto legitimate sunshine for four days straight. Even my uncle Ronny from California would have liked the weather. Anna waitressing at the Kant Cafe in Charlottenburg -. FC Union, Eisen Union, Union Berlin! A walk around east berlin (wish you were there, Erika):. Robert ...
