Update on the pre-departure information

It has been a while since my last post, but the reasoning for that is because I have not had too much to discuss in the passing months.  Since I have really just been working throughout my summer and not thinking too much about the coming journey, I have had little to say.

I have recently begun to look into ticket prices for my flight to Germany.  I have not, however, booked any flights, for I am still waiting to figure out some more information about the language intensive course I could take prior to the beginning of my actual studies at the Goethe Universität.  This information is to come in about a month.

Since my last post, I have been awarded three very helpful scholarships.  Two of them were awarded to me through the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.  The third, as foretold in my last post, was from the highly esteemed DAAD.  I finally received my gigantic packet of information and my official letter of award, which had been so neatly typed out on a typewriter!

More to be told in the coming months!!  Tentative departure date, in my mind, is September 2, 2013.
