I took a train with some friends to a cute medieval town called Marburg, where I walked around the castle and studied at cozy little coffee shops. In my free time I usually do this in nearby towns or I go out with my friends to restaurants and such. I\u2019m very grateful for it, and I\u2019m trying to soak it all in because when I go back to Arkansas, none of that will be possible. When I\u2019m on campus at ATU, I just study and maybe go for a walk. I\u2019ve also been trying to look for a job, but it\u2019s difficult. Part of the reason is because not many people are hiring, and my German skills aren\u2019t as good as I\u2019d like them to be (yet!). Although, one interesting thing I&#8217;ve noticed is that my german is getting better but my english is getting slightly worse because I\u2019m so used to hearing people speak German!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But I do have a few exciting things planned for the next few weeks. Since it\u2019s almost Christmas season in Germany, I\u2019m going to visit a few christmas markets. My favorite thing about German christmas markets is that they have many little food stands with all kinds of things like crepes, warm spiced drinks, Bratwursts, and so much more. The smell of it is unmatched and I know I will miss it when I go home. These markets are one of my favorite things about Germany! Also, as I said in my last blog post, I\u2019m going to Denmark this week to visit one of my friends, which I\u2019m really looking forward to and I think it\u2019ll be a lot of fun. But I\u2019ll probably have to do some schoolwork on the train ride up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Until next time,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roxi<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.atu.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2023\/11\/burg.pdf\">burg<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helloooo everyone!
