Zurück ins Outback - Teil 2 

Nachdem wir das letzte Mal im April so richtig verwöhnt wurden, mit all dem gutem Essen, konnten wir es uns nicht nehmen die Küche noch einmal auf die Probe zu stellen. Lasst euch sagen: “Beste Entscheidung überhaupt!” Neben teurem Essen und viel zu teurem Wein/ Bier (man gönnt sich ja sonst nichts) haben wir uns auch darin versucht unser Essen selbst zu fangen. Ein guter Freund von der Station nahm uns mit zum Angeln, aber bis auf zu kleine Fänge und hungrig lauernde Krokodile gab es nicht viel. Der Sonnenuntergang und die uns umgebende Natur machte das aber alles wett…

Back to the Outback

The april this year we always had very delicious meals, so we decided to put the citchen to the proof. Let me tell you something: “Best decision ever!” Besides costly meals and drinks we also tryed to catch the food by our own. A good friend  from the station took us out to a fishng trip. We weren’t able to catch the big barras this time but the beautiful nature and an amazing sunset made this trip worh it…

10 things studying abroad does

1. Makes you forget walk-in closets exist

There is a whole room just to keep your clothes in?!

2. Makes you forget public transportation doesn’t

How do people even get around?

3. Makes you a packing expert

Sure, you will bring stuff all the way to the other side of the world just to realize you haven’t used it once. But by the time you go back home, after all the trips you’ve taken, you will know exactly what to leave behind and what to never let go of. Now that’s a skill for life.

4. Confuses you about currency exchange

20 crowns for a coffee, so expensive! Whoa only 2 euro for that keychain! Hey, I can get three t-shirts for just three dollars! (Guess what, it’s all the same price.)

5. Forces you to try new foods

Even if you didn’t mean to buy that weird salami in a tube (or caviar. or tuna. or bell pepper. or shrimp. seriously why is everything in a tube?!) Even if you were looking for milk, but was tricked into buying filmjölk (I know some of you have put it in your coffee, don’t you deny it.)

6. Changes your lifestyle

There is just no way you can live abroad the same way you did back home, somethings gotta change.

7. Makes you sentimental

You will talk about your study abroad year a lot. Probably like all the time. Non-stop. Your friends back home will beg you to shut up about it. But you can’t. It was so great.

8. Teaches you how to deal

There’s a lot of challenges you need to get through all while being on the other side of the globe with everything you know and love no where in sight, all alone, lost, confused… But after overcoming all that stuff many of your future problems will become easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

Just got back from a 2-day Safari in the Serengeti National Park. It was absolutely great! If you get the chance to do this once in your lifetime, do it!

Students: Hey, so at this point a lot of students would rather break their own legs than go to school because of the immense workload placed on us in the form of increased standardized testing and out of school work. It is remarkably frustrating and stressful to students, and causes a strain on our mental health

Parents: Hey, so our children are extremely overworked and we have noticed a huge increase in time spent on homework rather than things that kids should be doing like socializing and naturally forming interests that could lead them to possible career choices

Teachers: The state curriculum is becoming more demanding, requiring our students to learn more in less time, all while increasing the number and frequency of standardized tests (giving us even less time to teach important material). This makes us sad, because we want to share knowledge with students, but are forced to give them large amounts of homework to make up for lost time in the classroom.

The U.S. educational system: So what you're telling me is.... you want... more test??
