Nicholas Sukiennik: Paris, Part II
Here I shall relate the events that occurred beginning on my third day in Paris as they happened. I woke up to a cloud and rainy Tuesday morning. I packed my things and left at about 8am. I entered the metro station. I had bought a day-pass the day before, but it had unexpectedly ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Paris, Part III
I emerge from the underground station. The rain is falling harder than ever. I walk, or rather run, because I have no umbrella, to the entrance—that being the famous pyramid shaped structure I’m sure we can all imagine. I walk through a crowd of people, wondering why they are not going in. I see ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Campus Activities
While I haven’t been here long enough to integrate myself in all of the campus happenings (at least to the extent that I did at Drexel: WKDU, Sierra Club, Smart House, The Triangle, etc. etc.), I have partaken in several campus events that I will here share with you for a more comprehensive vicarious ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Engineering
I hope the title of this entry isn’t too misleading, but this will be more of an expository of my current thoughts on engineering (and, thereby, life itself) in the context of my current location: Germany. So it’s week six of my term abroad in Germany. I’m still going strong as a soulless robot and ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: The Europe Effect
Living in Europe is dangerous. No not in the way you might be thinking, like west-Philly at night dangerous, but dangerous because if you come, you may never want to leave. The first time I was in Europe, I was here for only two weeks. I flew from my last stop—Venice—to Bejing, where I ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: End of Exams Update
For those of you who regularly read my blog, you know I am frequently very philosophical and subjective in my topics and descriptions. However, today’s entry will be more of a narrative, to your pleasure or dismay (or neutrality). I began intensively studying about one week ago at this time. After receiving the results ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Transportation
Cars, bikes, trains, planes, and even boats: all are among the different methods of transportation one might take to get from one place to another. In this blog entry I will explain in detail some of the transportation methods I use to get around in Germany from small to large scale. Directly on campus, ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Stereotypes vs. Reality
The following entry addresses a subject which many would try their best to avoid at all costs as to prevent criticism or controversy, but one which I will willingly discuss openly and honestly: stereotypes. In the United States, we are inundated with diversity, and, therefore, strive to neutralize any distinguishing features of a foreign ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Berlin
Berlin Bochum is in a central position in Europe in my opinion, by being in a more or less equidistant from many great cities including Paris, London, Vienna, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and of course Berlin, the last of which I and a group of other exchange students at RUB visited this past weekend. Not having classes ...
Nicholas Sukiennik: Germany Reflections and Paris: Part 1
Classes are finally over, and I’ve had time to reflect on my experience here in Germany. It has been an experience full of learning—learning about science, language, and also myself. Each new experience is a lesson. Mistakes are made and learned from, and one bound to come out the other side a different person, ...
