you're wrong

One thing that I'm glad that I get out of all of this is the feeling that no matter what...I am worth it.

If you try and tell me, either explicitly or implicitly, that I'm not good enough or smart enough or attractive  enough; you're wrong.

Classes are going great. Everything is really good. First bit of unpleasantness in the form of a dude but, it can't be avoided, I guess. Or rather, it shouldn't be avoided because it comes with the territory.

I'm also looking into possible funding options. Maybe scholarships or such things offered by the university. I was kind of against the whole issue because, while I'm mostly sure that I deserve to be here, I don't need a scholarship committee who doesn't know me at all to disagree and shake all the great progress I've been making.

still in a super good place!

I live in an amazing, magical city. 

Everything went more or less okay. I spoke with my boss and my landlord (who have yet to transfer money into my account..hmm...), carried all of my HEAVY stuff across the country and have been enjoying the aforementioned magic. I still feel a bit like a visiting tourist because I've been eating and hanging out with friends from all over the place: James, Beryl, Noa, Mischa, Ben, Robyn, Sarah....yeah.

Tomorrow will be the first day I go to my internship, which will be pretty exciting. I have to provide all of the bureacratic bs like social insurance and go to the finance office and blahblahblahGermanyblah. 

Tuesday is my orientation. I'm looking forward to finally getting some concrete information about what I will be doing in terms of studying. Also to meet the other GSP students. 

My main worry at the moment is finding an apartment. I've sent out approximately 150 emails, received 9 invitations, been to about 5 viewings and have liked all of them but didn't end up getting picked by the roommates. I will be living in my awesome and generous friend's house for the month of April so, that shouldn't be a problem. It would still be nice to have my own semi-permanent place of residence secured. Oh well, it'll happen sooner or later. 

All that aside, I'm really happy to be here :)
