Additional notes for this release, announced yesterday: After receiving countless emails regarding availability of this release in America, I find it necessary to address the question publically. While the product is available in both English and German, due to copyright problems, the product was pulled from the American market in late September. American users should [...]

Attention all you cat lovers: This blog is for you! Thanks to one of my favorite blogs, A Welsh View, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Purrcast.com. It is a weekly blog that features, among other things, an audio clip of a cat purring! I mean, as terribly cute as it is to [...]

I started this blog series about differences between America and Germany with the major differences I have noticed so far between the food easily available here and that in America. It was a very general topic, I know. This time, I am going to talk about one single item. Definitely a more specific example of [...]

I really hate asking for stuff, but I have been getting a lot of questions about what we would want if someone wanted to send us a care package, so here’s a post answering those questions! I’ll update when we think of something new we are missing. Something, that is, that you can mail us, [...]

I just keep getting told that I am doing a good job (with interview questions—MK helped!—and in-class writing prompts, and coordinating the LC in general), and I have to say, it is nice to hear! I think I am insecure about my teaching because I am so new at it and my colleagues all have [...]
