Arbeitsvertrag (Work Contract) ;-)

As most of you know, I just received my Arbeitsvertrag (work contract) in the mail a few days ago!! At this point, things are "almost official". I do have a job, a have a few signatures and official papers to prove that, but I am currently still in the process of finalizing everything.

I am working on arranging and signing all of the documents needed for my Work Visa, which I will mail out probably a week or two from now, and upon approval of that, I will reship everything back to my German employer! I just hope everything goes to plan the first time (i.e. the German Consulate decides my papers are valid and gives me the stamp of approval) ;-)

In other news: I need to really start cracking down on my German. I swear it is getting worse by the day...xD

It's been a while... ;)

I haven't posted in a long time; I do realize this. Well, for anyone who does not yet know, I received the job!! Which means that I will be moving to Germany next year!!

I will be working as an intern at Rheinmetall Waffe Munition in Neuenburg Am Rhein, while working on my Bachelor of Arts/ International Business. I'm not 100% certain as to what I will be focusing on, but I'm kind of leaning towards either Marketing or Management...I think I would definitely make a good Manager; I know how to make responsible decisions in life and I am a pretty excellent organizer/communicator. ;-)

Aaarrrggghhhh!!!! It's SO ridiculously crazy to think that I'll be back in Germany in less than a year!
Exactly 1 year from now I will be in my 3-4 week at the University! I am currently finishing up my last 2 semesters at my U.S. College, and I'll most likely be flying over in July/August? It depends on when Rheinmetall wants me to come over, I guess.

The best part about all of this is not only the amazing experience I'll receive while working at this International company,AND the fact that I'll be living in Europe, but I will have received my degree after 3 years without ever having to pay for my education! Even my college education in the U.S. was paid for by my scholarship!

Honestly, I am entirely blessed and thankful for everything. I can't thank this company enough for giving me this wonderful, life changing opportunity. I know I'll do my best and even more to expand and help with their business; I won't let anyone down. ;-)
