The Real World

Hello to all of my new and excited followers!! Ok I know there is no following this blog yet, but whatever. A little background on the blog and the reason that I am writing. I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois studying Ag business. I am in Europe right now because I am doing and internship I gained through a business immersion program through the university. I am living in Limburgerhof, Germany (near Mannheim), where I am working for BASF Plant Sciences in their value chain management department.

During my stay in Europe I will be working on many exciting things, some which can't be talked about. I will also be living in the real world with five other people. Currently four of them are from different parts of Germany and the other is from Bellville, Illinois!! It is truly a small world after all, lol. Also during my time here I will be doing a little traveling!! Ok well I am going to travel as much as my bank account will allow.

This experience will be like no other I have ever had. Being away from home, 4000 miles away, I am going to finally live on my own. During my time at UIUC I have had a cook, AGR's great Italian chef Bill, doing my own laundry, and even grocery shopping!! Now you may think grocery shopping would be easy, but it is a pain. Where i am living I am currently about 2 miles from the nearest food store and everything there is in German and I have no idea what is says unless I can see through the packing.

In all this should be the best experience I have had yet in my long years!! Anyway so if you want to keep following along I am going to try and update this every few days and keep everyone interested in what I am doing both at work and while I travel to new parts of the world, literally.

Until next time!!
