It was never going to be easy

*sigh*

so, i'm in Germany. It's amazing. Berlin is a lot of fun and there's so much delicious food here. Good times....

However, all that comes crashing down when I get an email from the financial aid folks saying my deposit is set to be made...at half of the amount that I thought it was going to be. Great.

Oh well, that just means I will have to worry about money, even though I thought I wouldn't. Moving across the world and studying in a language in which I am not completely fluent wasn't enough, I guess.

Oh well. I'll make it work. I'm smart and resourceful. Already researching scholarships/applications for Graduate school.

Test run

Because I'm neurotic and I can't stand surprises. I went to the airport today with my carry-on to MAKE SURE that it would fit. I also asked questions about my itinerary, which was good because the very helpful attendant gave me a confirmation number that wasn't on the printout that I had. I knew it looked different than the last time I flew...And now I can just show up (early) and get to the plane without stressing myself out. Perfect.

I have 11 days left before I fly to Germany. Thursday, I'm ridesharing back to SLO for the very last time for a while. Saturday, I'll need to figure out because greyhound doesn't sell online tickets for that schedule which is super convenient...I'll probably just buy the refundable greyhound ticket and try to find a rideshare for saturday evening. Making it happen!

My last First

I have 24 days left until my last day at work. Then it will really be me who is in "transitions"...haha. It's not like I haven't been transitioning all this time. I moved into my new room today. That was fun...the guy who was living here before finally decided to move out. I think the juxtaposition of how chill my landlord is to how pedantic I have to be is interesting. Welp, regardless i'm in my new room now and it's very nice. I have 26 more days until I go to Europe and it's really sinking in. The few days I will be here will be spent working and saving, punctuated by fun, relaxing days with friends : ]
