It’s been ages since I’ve been on here and I must apologise for my tardiness…
Back at the college and to work life I cannot even describe how busy I am at the moment and assignments are just starting…wohoooooooo, NO! Anyway, I was on holidays with my family. Yeah, my parents and big brother came down [...]

Isn’t it funny how our mornings set the mood for the rest of the day? Yesterday I had a lousy start of the day! Slept in, no time for breakfast (or coffee!), almost missed the bus to college and arrrggghh! I was a miserable person! Today I got up in time (or at least had [...]

Two months of holidays, moving to a new apartment and pure relaxation is now replaced by being back in the castle. First day is over (only had one class, 8-10am, could one have a better start?) and I’ve seen so many of those faces that I’ve been missing during the break: friends that have been [...]

Seriously you should see this place!  To be honest, i still can not believe that i am in Australia!!!!  It all seems so unreal.  Every day,  i have to keep reminding myself that i really am on the other side of the world from everyone i know.  These past three weeks have flown by way [...]

I’ve been researching different venues in Kansas City for an event that [...]

At Endicott I’m a major in hospitality with a concentration in events management. I wanted to study abroad at a school that would [...]

My story about why I began to study at ICMS and how I took the step over to ICMS will continue in this blog.
After I had made the decision to study at ICMS, almost one year of preparations followed.  Everything from working 50-60 hour weeks so I could save  as much money as possible, [...]

In 1988, I was a graduate trainee at the Old Sydney Parkroyal Hotel in the Rocks. I was doing a stint in the housekeeping department and was supervising the housemaids early in the morning, giving them their print outs for the day’s work. My phone rang and it was one of the general [...]

Moin moin,
Und wieder ein Tag im Buero und Zimmer obwohl draussen die Sonne scheint)= Ich bin immernoch ganz hippelig wenn es sonnig ist und will raus an die Luft da ich es irgendwie noch gewoehnt bin (lange Jahre in Hamburg gewohnt) dass man besser jeden Augenblick nutzt, wenn es sonnig ist und jah raus geht.
