2014

by Molly Ada Lichtenwalner It's been quite a busy and successful past week and a half since my last post.  My parents came to visit me here in Mannheim and we ventured over to Rothenburg for a nice weekend trip.  The medieval town was absolutely gorgeous and a nice...

by Abigail Pearson Massaro I often feel that, after a certain amount of time in a city, one tends to forget what's great about that city. When I first came to Mannheim, everything about it was new enough that I was always excited to go exploring and there seemed to...

by Molly Ada Lichtenwalner My time here is quickly coming to an end, but I am very happy with the status of my research.  I ran a total of 26 participants, despite all the final exams students were taking during the time I was here.  I'm hoping for a few more people,...

by Molly Ada Lichtenwalner It's hard to believe that I've already been in Germany for almost two weeks.  I guess that's what happens when you're always busy!  Abby and I have been recruiting almost every day, but we're competing against final exams at the moment, so...

by Abigail Pearson Massaro It's already been six days since I've arrived in Mannheim and I feel like time has flown. I spent my academic year last year in Germany and it feels so great to be back. Mannheim is a really terrific city but is much different from...

by Molly Ada Lichtenwalner After three days of running around Germany, I can finally say that I have arrived and settled in safely!  The flight started off quite interesting.  We were about to take off, and as we were leaving, the pilot made an announcement that the...
