So I didn't really think Thanksgiving would be that great if celebrated here in Germany, but I was quite wrong. I had been in Copenhagen the weekend before Thanksgiving and was glad I could squeeze in another trip to a city I have always wanted to go to. It was a very eclectic city with lots of different cool areas and great food. I liked the weather too, since I am a big fan of overcast with low rain. It rained almost every day, but it was more in the realm of a sprinkle than an actual rain. It also lasted for a short period.

This is a blog post for myself and anyone out there who loves cars. Now, I know that most people will probably look over this post on the main blog page; but frankly, I love Porsche too much to not dedicate a blog post to the trip I made to Stuttgart. 

So this post is going to be kind of different. Usually I like to just sit down and write my stream of consciousness, whatever that may be as I write these blogs, because I feel as though it makes the whole blog thing a little more honest. However, this blog is going to be about making sure to go to the places you want to go before time runs out. It will still be stream of consciousness, but might actaully have some sort of direction.

Wednesdays, at Nanzan University, are days where everyone gets out of class early. I don't know why, but I'm not going to question it because I love it! On these days I usually try to find new places to go, new places to eat, and make it back home somewhat early so I can finish all my homework for the next day.

“I’m so sorry, but I’m in such a rush! I would if you caught me at another time!”

The end of my semester abroad is rapibdly approaching. I'm pretty sure the countdown has reached about 17 days now til I board my plane and fly home to the US. At this point I feel a huge mix of emotions. Honestly, I spent a lot of my time abroad yearning to go back home. I'm usually not a very homesick person, honestly I wouldn't even describe my feelings this semester as homesick. If anything, I think that I was more just not happy with feeling as though I was missing out on things back home.

As I was finishing my day interviewing people at the Barcelona gaming convention, I met up with my co-worker, as well as my two supervisors to re-group and discuss our findings. While I as meeting up with my supervisors, they introduced me to another member of the company who was the designer. At the same time as I stretched out my hand to introduce myself, the designer leaned in towards my cheeks. Instinctually, I was startled and jumped back (what was this guy doing?!), but instantly became embarrassed and was glowing bright red.
