Gut, besser, am besten.

I'm thinking it's time to do another "the good, the bad, and the ugly" post.

The good:
Hm. Tough one. It's tough because there's so many things that fall into the "good" heading. Work is going well; I'm having a meeting with my boss today to recap what work I've done over the summer and lay out a plan for my last week and a half here. Friends are good; looking forward to seeing my Minnesota and Penn friends, and German friends sind gut, wie immer (are good, as always.) Pretty weather, pretty city, and pretty people. Seriously, Munich has some of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. Well done :)

To recap: life is pretty darn fantastic right now. Das leben ist gut.

The bad:
I don't want to leave. I will be coming back to Germany in the future, that's not the problem. The problem is this - I will have a stronger resume if I work somewhere else next summer. Different field (finance probably), different country (the US). I am afraid that if I turn down an opportunity to come back to Germany next summer that they won't want to hire me after graduation. I love the company, the people, and munich. I will be coming back. But... it might not be next summer. I agree that I'll be more valuable to the company if I have experience in many different places... but it sucks. Majorly sucks. The plan? School, summer internship somewhere in Minnesota probably, school, Germany. Oh, and I'll be visiting every chance I get. It's still not the same.

To recap: I love Germany.

The ugly:
My German. God fucking dammit. One week of only english with Mags and I suck. I make the dumbest grammatical errors in front of my boss. Wait no, he's my boss's boss. The president of the company. And he makes me feel really, really stupid when I mess up. Fuck.

To recap: I should never speak.

This weekend - Munich on friday and saturday, Paris on Sunday, Frankfurt on Monday. Not too shabby.
