Hello! This blog's purpose is to document my stay in Europe over the next 5 weeks, namely Karlsruhe, Germany. I leave for the trip on Jun. 21st, and I am extremely excited!! I have known about this trip since the middle of high school so it's been a long time coming. While I am in Karlsruhe I will be taking Calculus III for class credit for the University of Kentucky. I'm not too worried about the course since I will be in a small class with a professor I can actually understand. I will be staying with a host family who I have been contacting through email, and I am excited to meet them in person on Friday!
Going into this trip, I am expecting to learn several things other things besides Calc. III. I expect to encounter a different culture than my own, and I expect myself to learn to adapt to situations unfamiliar to me. I know basically no German and have no international travel experience so new situations should be plentiful on this trip. I also want to learn more about the field I'm going into: engineering. Germany is the perfect place to explore this because of its world leadership in the field of engineering.
As the trip begins I will post more stuff on whatever is different or whatever interests me on the trip. I can't wait to get started, but first I must pack my suitcase....
