Four Things
I've been tagged by Megan on her blog. Admittedly, this is the first questionnaire I've ever filled out. We'll see how it goes!
Four Jobs I've Had:
1. Hancher Auditorium Cafe staff (2 years)
2. Interlochen Center for the Arts jr. girls counselor (1 summer)
3. Clothing factory (14 days)
4. Call center for a market research institute here in Berlin (2 months).
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over:
1. Amelie
2. Family Man
3. Le Divorce
4. Thoroughly Modern Millie
Four Places I've Lived:
1. Minnesota
2. Iowa
3. Freiburg, Germany
4. Berlin, Germany
Four TV Shows I Love: (besides Seinfeld?)
1. "Our First Apartment Together": A 1/2 hr. long German show on daily showcasing different couples who move in together. Shows them choosing and finding an apartment, moving out of the 2 old apartments, moving in to the new one and delegating rooms (sometimes the couples have kids from a divorce), and decorating and toasting to the new apartment.
2. "We Are Family"(yes, with the annoying "We-Are-Fam-il-y" song as theme music): Another 1/2 hr. daily German show. This one showcases a different family everyday. Just shows life in general in the different households.
3. "Fuerstenhof" (name of a hotel): Basically a German soap opera but not cheesy or cheap, well, I guess it's cheesy, but entertaining! It's about a hotel and its employees and their love lives. Current storyline: the owner's son and hotel heir Alexander is engaged with Katarina but in love with young Laura, the hotel's in-house praline maker. Katarina had a horse accident which caused blindness, however, after awhile she regained her sight, conveniently not telling Alexander so as to continue to spy on him and Laura and prove her suspicions true about their affair. Meanwhile Alexander continues to cater to the "blind" Katarina and try to make himself fall back in love with her since breaking the engagement with her would mean losing the rights to the hotel.
4. Any other German "docu" show (documentaries) which cover such unconventional topics as 'a typical day in an airport or luxury hotel' to 'the opening of an Ikea branch.' Really, the show topics seem weird sometimes but are surprisingly interesting. I guess it's just fun to see inside and behind the scenes of everyday things.
Four Places I've Vacationed:
1. Western Europe with friends: Amsterdam; Brussels and Brugges, Belgium; Luxembourg; Paris; Vienna; all around Germany.
2. A trip alone to Interlaken and Lucerne, Switzerland (including a day-long walk in the Swiss Alps; the path was straight and not complicated and it was fun to walk through pastures with cows wearing the huge bells).
3. With my family: Along the Rhine River, around the Black Forest, Munich, and Reuta, Austria in the Austrian Alps.
4. Eastern Europe: Prague, Czech Republic; St. Petersburg, Pscov, and Moscow Russia (orch. trip from Freibrug).
Four of My Favorite Dishes:
1. My mom's banana bread
2. My mom's Texas Beef skillet
3. Any chicken and vegetable casseroles
4. Chili and cornbread
Four Sites I Visit Daily:
1. MSN.com
2. musicalchairs.info (postings of orchestral jobs in the States and Europe/World)
3. 3-4 different blogs
4. Not daily, but occasionally drphil.com and ABC's The Bachelor. Gotta keep up with some of my American shows!
Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now:
1. Vacationing in Bali, Indonesia (just saw a documentary/travel show about it yesterday). How beautiful!
2. Any Greek island soaking up the sun
3. Exploring England, Wales, Sweden, and Italy.
4. Sitting around the table at home with my family laughing.
Four bloggers I am tagging:
1. My good friend Bethany, who is also an American musician studying in Germany, in Hamburg.
2. Will, though I don't know if he updates his blog ever.
3. Megan already tagged me, so she's not available...
4. Don't know anyone else personally who keeps a blog, but if you have the desire, feel free to consider yourself tagged!

Hey poochiepoo,
Glad to see you caught on to my "four things" craze. I'm surprised both of us never put down Arby's as a place of employment...
Hi Pooch, I know, I considered it, but it's almost like just typing the word will make my computer smell like grease. But I could eat a roast beef with chedder cheese.....
