Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! For the next year, I will be using this website to stay in touch with friends and family back home in the USA and recount my journey as I head to Germany for a year.

What am I doing? I won a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to study at the Technische Universitat Dresden in Dresden, Germany for the next school year. I leave August 29 and will spend the month of September in Frankfurt, where I will be taking an intensive language course at the Goethe Institut there. Come October, I head to Dresden and will beg in my studies as a music history major (who dabbles in the education department as well). I am taking a year off from school at UGA, where I will return next fall to finish my degree.

Through this website, I will periodically post pictures and stories about my time abroad, what I'm doing, and how I am working with Rotary to fulfill my scholarship duties. Feel free to contact me (robinschaps@gmail.com), and I'll post later with more specifics on that!
