germany!

I can't adventure
Enough during school, but in
The summer? For sure!

Just this morning I received an email from the DAAD-RISE program that I applied to many moons ago, and they told me that I've been accepted as an intern for the summer! That means that I'll be heading to Germany in mid-May and coming back stateside in mid-August. The work will be at a university in Darmstadt, a town (or city?) just outside Frankfurt. I have lots of research to do before I get there, though; I don't know the first thing about work visas or apartment-hunting in other countries or train passes or driving internationally or... well, the list goes on.

Anyway, I'm sure that I'll be posting more about that as summer approaches. Right now I've got some PL homework to do. *sigh*

    Really! I don't recall seeing that. I'm supposed to get the official letter sometime at the end of this month, so I will be sure to follow up when I know! :D

    I'm supposed to get an email later this month when they send me the official forms... I'm starting to get nervous about time, though. :/ I will be sure to post when I find out, I promise! I did get my grant, though, from my school, so that's $1k that I don't have to worry about, at least.

    Looks like I'm not getting anything extra for housing. Bummer. :(

    But my housing for the summer is going to be <$1000, which is kinda nice. :D
