In Processing Crew – July 09, 2012

Well, it seems as though I’ve put my many years of practicing procrastination into use, even across the world. I have now been living in Garmisch, Germany for just over three months, or a quarter of the entire time I will reside here. Time has passed in what seems like the blink of an eye. I have been fortunate to meet incredible people here, who have helped create amazing experiences for me so far. So, we’ll get right into it. In July, I arrived with a group of eleven other people (which is considered a larger arrival group). New groups of people come in every 2-4 weeks, while others who have completed their 13 months here leave to go back home.

The people who I came in with:

·         Patty, who is my roommate, and who works at The Point fitness center
·         Caitlin, who works at Alpine Adventures with me
·         Shirley, who was a cook, but already left Garmisch because the program just wasn’t for her
·         Drew, who is also a cook
·         Megan D., who works in housekeeping
·         Liz, who works in housekeeping
·         Gregg, who works in housekeeping
·         Megan H., who works at Market Station
·         Charlie, who works in custodial
·         Alexis, who works at the front desk
·         Amy, who works at the front desk

Couldn’t be happier about this group of individuals – we all get along really well, which is good since we’ll all be here for our entire duration of the contract!
