I took the train from Augsburg to Munich this morning. It was a quick and easy ride, just under an hour, and gave me some time to relax before jumping into a busy day. The train was on time and pretty quiet, which made the whole trip smooth. Our walk from the station to the…

Today was our designated free day, which many capitalized on to use to travel. For me personally, I slept in/did laundry, how exciting. I am traveling throughout other parts of Europe for the immediate two weeks after this, so preparing for that was on the top of my priorities today, rather than traveling. I will…

Today was our final scheduled day in the Plus3 Program. It was our latest start thus far, 2PM, which was awesome as I love my sleep. My morning was spent prepping with my group for our presentation: rehearsals, final touches, etc. When it was time for our presentations, we executed flawlessly, and our grade reflected…
