Next Vacation?

Fira, Santorini, Cyclades Islands, Greece

Works for me. 

This could be more of a possibility if I was still living in Berlin.

I LOVE my classes this semester

Specifically, my 1st Amendment, Supreme Court, and Holocaust in Lit/Film classes. My Holocaust class is probably the most interesting class I have ever taken and I wish everyone would take a class on this topic. Here are some things I wanted to share from these classes. If they're not in English, then they at least have English subtitles and all of them are worth watching!

Die Welle (The Wave) was based on the true story of a California high school teacher who spontaneously did an experiment with her students.

Night and Fog (1955)
A short French documentary on the concentration camps. Though there are some very graphic parts.


Skokie/Neo-Nazi/Frank Collin
I couldn't find the documentary I watched in my 1st Amendment class but Frank Collin led the National Socialist Party of America to Skokie, IL in 1977. One of the interviews in the doc had Collin making extremely antisemitic remarks that I found shocking, but constitutionally protected by the 1st Amendment.

The Colbert Report - Justice John Paul Stevens
The Colbert Report - Justice John Paul Stevens
My previous recommendations are a little bit depressing, I know. Thats why you should definitely watch this clip of former Supreme Court justice with Stephen Colbert. And this guy is 91 years old!

Christmas & Las Vegas

This just made my day

Your Daily Life
Your Daily Life II
Your Daily Life III
Your Daily Life IV

New life strategy for whenever anyone asks me to do something physical. Like taking out the trash.

I'm a princess and this is my tiara!

Just in case any of you weren't already aware -- my name means princess.

Such A Great Start

to my day and semester! This morning I found out that I got the internship that I was so excited to apply for. It is quite possibly the perfect internship for me -- it's at a literary agency in Hollywood in which I read manuscripts and books, write summaries and give opinions for possible TV and film production. I definitely jumped for joy when I found out.


And today is the first day of spring semester and I am so excited for my classes to start :]

San Diego and Las Vegas -- I guess America can be fun, too...

To be quite honest, California has been pretty uneventful compared to last semester in Berlin. This weekend put America back in the game when I visited Sally in San Diego on Thursday and went to Las Vegas on the weekend. Meeting Sally in San Diego might not measure up to meeting in Berlin, Paris, and Vienna - but seeing Sally never fails to disappoint me :)


I gotta say that celebrating my 21st in Las Vegas is the only way you really feel like you're 21. I will post some pictures and videos soon but let's just say that I got to share a little bit of Germany with my family and friends at the Hofbräuhaus in Las Vegas while I got spanked, beat a couple of people in a beer liter holding contest, and entered a beer chugging contest. 


Touché, America.
