In 41 (!!!) days I am off to do a study exchange in Germany until either June or August of 2011. I'll be back in June if I can't get a job there and August if I can. This blog is for anyone who is interesting in what's going on and partially for myself as a record of what should be a pretty big event in my life.
School: Philipps Marburg University in Marburg, Germany.
Dorm: I really hope so.
Mini-trips while there:
1) Ireland - maybe around St. Patty's Day? hmm... something to ponder
2) Croatia
3) Switzerland-France-Italy (with my fabulous cousin Katie!)
4) Istanbul (if possible)
5) Munich for Oktoberfest!
6) London and Scotland
I don't care if I have to beg, borrow or steal. I will be going to these places.
Hopes:
That I make the most out of my time there. Learn and explore and generally have a life-alteringly good time.
Fears:
That I suddenly get really shy and don't talk to anyone.
Thing that makes me happy today:
I've been in contact with the Laurier student who went to Marburg last year and he said it's amazing. Also, he said that if I'm staying over the winter then there should be an ice rink in Marburg and some in Kassel. So, I don't care what else has to stay here, my skates are coming with me!
Still to do: (oh god :S)
1) Call the bank
2) Call my doctor and optometrist
3) Get a student line of credit
4) Get a new VISA
5) Pay my parents back for the gas money they've fronted so far. Thank you! :D That $1,500 odd will be coming your way soon, I promise!
6) Pack! Someone remind me to take my camera or else I will forget it. Also! need to get socket converters... BUSY BUSY BUSY.
Closing:
I will really try to keep this updated! Maybe if I put a little quick link or something in my browser...
Also, here are some pictures of Marburg :D
