Preparations...

And so, I decided that I shall start blogging about my exchange.

The admission package from University of Konstanz has been lying on my table since i collected it from the Registrar's Office last Monday.

I was so happy when i received the email from RO asking me to collect my package. It was like.. WAH! there's like a confirmation that i'm definitely going to be off to Germany coming September. After collecting my package, I trotted back to IRO to open it. Acceptance letter, BW-Stipendum, September Sprachkurs,..... so EXCITING!!!!!!!!! Owl was urging me to go for the August summerschool too!!! make me so gian! well, if BW is willing to pay for it too, i'll go. shall kuai kuai wait for the reply now...

Currently, finding out what are the best options for accommodation. emailed Lee Ting who's a Singaporean living in Konstanz now. no reply from her yet. Emailed Frau Geiser's daughter, Miriam and she's such a lovely girl. It is clearer with information she's provided me with, yet i can't really make up my mind as of now. BW is only giving me 400Euro a month.. the accommodation options provided by the school will cost about 220Euro a month. that will mean, half of my allowances gone. Shuxian who's in Stuttgart is living with her host family and she's paying less than 200Euro for her place. ok.... come on. money does matters when u're overseas and alone.

i just hope that whatever happens, everything will be ok... waiting for owl to respond regarding august summer school now, so i can go book my air ticket, get my visa done, send my application for housing and sprachkurs, i'm like rushing for time for everything. hopefully, all can be settled by end of this coming week. don't wish to drag any longer... ok.. besides module mapping tt is. it sucks. but i know i've got to get it done no matter wat. urgh. disgusting.

Anyway, was asking max about sop's bday party. the evil twins are contemplating on whether they should have a chalet. i made a promise to max in sec 2 that i'll remember them and will be there to celebrate their 21st bday. it seems tt i'll not be able to hold on to the promise. it sucks. but i know, going to germany is going to life-changing. 21st birthdays are important, but birthdays come every year wat. like wat LG say, what's so special about the days in the year? every day in the year occurs only once a year wat!

besides the evil ones, i'll be missing many others' bday: my own THREE siblings, su, wan ling, joseph, jeffrey, wah. so many others i can't remember. and mine too.... my 21st! not to mention, brother zhi han's wedding also... heartbreak. *piang*

but i know it'll all be worth it. i must get thru this. it's my first steps to growing up. my first steps to soaring into the sky. i shall make full use of the opportunities given to me... may i learn as much as i'll be able to.

Germany, here i come.
