Sort of update on Germany

[live_with_love]

Er, ok... So.

I went ahead and applied for a University in Potsdam. That's all gone through and seems to be fine; they have all my info before the deadline and I think I'm accepted.

But.

I got a phonecall on Friday from the teaching assistenship woman. She said there might be a place for me on an assistentship if I was still willing. i said yes

Hang in there!

I personally always love the quick and dirty developments/decisions in my life and never came to regret those, actually. The longer I fretted or thought over something, the less successful it turned out to be. Weird but true. Thus, I say, go with the flow!

Start making packing lists. Get your finances in order and get all the shots you need. (we Germans got the rabbies ;) No, of course not, but know what I mean.)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you receive word soon and finally know where you are heading! ♥

I'll try XD

Yeah, I do get that feeling sometimes XD I have to admit, the changes that have been sprung on me have turned out pretty well. I'm just so flaily right now over the short timespan to get everything done; I had things planned for this time. Meet-ups and commissions. And now I suddenly have a whole month less and idek what needs to be done first >3>

Haha, good advice~ I will make lists of everything to be done... At least health insurance is covered because the school has me pay into a public fun as part of my earnings. So it's just registering with the local government and opening a bank account to do when I get there.

Thanks <3 I hope so too |D

Arrgh! So close!
Good luck. Yes, it sounds as if you're in and everyone is just too overworked to give you a phonecall. I'm sure it will be fantastic.
On a selfish note, are we still on for the Isle of Wight, which, if I caculate right, is also in a month? :o

ikr? |D;
Thanks <3 I'm just waiting on an email/letter/something from my school so I can get to work on finding accomodation :S I need somewhere to live!
Er... I'm not actually sure yet, which is why I didn't mention anything on fb. Sophie will still be here even if I'm not so we should be, I... just might not be here... The induction course is August 27-30th. It just depends whether I have to go straight on to my placement school afterward or whether I can come back for the weekend, which I will be doing if it's at all possible!

Aw, well many many congrats on sorting the placement. It must be a weight off your mind. I do hope you're there though. I was really hoping for a Byaku. If I'm deprived..... well, I'm traumatised enough! ;) It would be sad though, so I selfishly hope you'll be allowed to return. ;) Just a thought - are you still down on the 31st? Some family friends have invited me for dinner out, but I have a note on the 31st saying "Cara and Sophie" with a question mark by it! I don't think we ever decided for sure.

Induction course sounds like some kind of interview. It's kinda common here in Germany, it's like applying for a job.
I'm not sure since I was never at a university but like I said, stuff like that is common over here.

If you need help with your german information, please give it to me and I'll translate it for you XD

[live_with_love]

It's partly that and partly a 'here are things that might trouble you while you're in Germany and how to deal with them!' XD Like opening a bank account and registering with the government and things. And then there's a quick teaching course for those of us who've never taught kids before, before they throw us in with them and expect us to prep lessons and actually teach... I should be fine, I have plenty of experience XD But the course is still compulsory.
This one's not for the uni, it's for a teaching assistentship. it's what I wanted to do originally :3 It's just on a much shorter timespan than the uni placement |D

Hehe, thank you <3 I think I've gotten the idea of what it says now but I will definitely bother you in the future if it starts confusing me again |D
