Leaving in 10,9,8,7,…

The post below was written a few days ago, but not having an internet connection anymore makes it somehow difficult to post anything. (Reason for missing pics as well) Right now we are packing at Bekka’s place, actually we are ready to leave and that is why I am posting again.
So in a couple of hours we will sit in the plane watching Defiance, Twilight, Marley and Me, and some other stupid videos (yes, I checked them out before we fly). It’s gonna be fun!
Luckily, we even get a ride to the airport! A friend of Bekka just offered it yesterday! That will save us some 50 bucks on the cab!
How is the weather in Stuttgart, Germany? (I couldn’t check it, had no time as I was checking the movies)
Hope to see you all soon!

Blogging til the end...

I am done with school (Canada only), I sold my text books, spent the money I got for them already, and right now, I am sitting in the Coach Canada coach from St. Catharines to Toronto. Again it is a funny feeling to leave the City where I spent the last 8 months.
So I just hope to meet the nice people again somewhere, maybe I will even come back to this place someday. Still, my friends, it is time to come back to Germany. I will definitely miss some people from Canada, Tim Hortons and the way how school is organized over here.
But I am also looking forward to seeing my family and all my German friends again. Then I can also tell them what happened last weekend. You want to know it? Well, keep on reading! To sum it all up, Bekka and I are engaged now.

Great News!

What else should I say? We are just happy!

I just don't feel like writing anything

Sorry guys,
I just don't feel like writing anything...
I had a good time in Montreal last weekend. Slowly, everything is coming to an end over here. Yesterday I had my last class and I attended the Brock C4C end of the year banquet. Today I will be in Toronto and attend another banquet from C4C in York...

Anyway, I will be be back in Germany on April 25th, 11am.
Looking forward to see you all there!

nothing is happening at the moment

hmm, actually nothing is happening at the moment. So I will just tell you that I have a lot of exams and work, but I am still happy :-)
I started to cook more often, today I burned my fingers for the second time on that flippin oven rack.
I bought a Brock Business hoody(yes, it was on sale) and I realized that I will be back in Germany in six weeks.
There will be a birthday/ welcome party on the 2nd of May, I guess you are invited (this might not be true if I don't know you and you read this blog by accident! If you are confused now ask me or Bekka)

Florida, et cetera...

and someone wanted to throw away these awesome shoes!


Well, after having a great time in Quebec, where the temperatures were way below zero. I thought it is time for climate change! Fortunately, I do not have to wait until the weather changes, I just flew to Florida.
Unfortunately, I could not find my swimming trunks anymore but the beach was still amazing. I am not a poet enough to find many words, but be assured the time at the beach was relaxing and wonderful!
Together with Bekka and three other Torontian girls we went to the everglades and found some alligators. Pretty scary actually.



A little but of culture was included as well. Bekka and I visited the Florida Jewish Museum and the very impressive Holocaust memorial.


So now I am back in St. Catharines, busy for school again. Exams? Don’t want to bore you with them...
A, well, before I got back to St. Catharines, I tried to hitchhike from Buffalo Airport to Canada. Apparently, it is illegal in the Unites States of America to hitchhike. The police officer was kind of friendly but if I ever try to hitchhike again in the US I will be arrested…


Thanks for reading!
ps: I did not feel like writing that much, so enjoy the pics (or give me a call)

Financial Open and Studying

Well, after I was just amazed about dog sledding I just didn't feel like writing anything down. But life goes on! As I will fly to Miami tomorrow I guess there will be a lot to talk about. So I will give a short review of the last days.



With a team of BFIG (Brock Finance and Investment Group) I went to a finance competition in Quebec City last weekend. The Omnium Financier 2009 was a really good experience. It was my first competition and I guess our team came last(the results are not online yet, so maybe I am wrong). Anyway, it was awesome! Well organized, good hotel and pretty nice people. First time for me in Quebec as well. Now I know why Canada is bilingual!

In the mean time I am busy studying for all the midterms and assignments we have to hand in here. Additional, I got my dates for the oral exams back home in Germany which are scheduled before my actual return. So I hope this will work out anyway. And after reading week I might also start writing a paper for a German seminar in banking. So I will be busy, but as I already indicated, tomorrow I will be in Miami for a week of relaxation! Hopefully, I can see some alligator or crocodiles in the Everglades, as this funny Algonquin Park does not seem to have any animals in it, besides the dogs I mean:-)
