I have decided to stay another semester. So I'm sure you got
questions for me right? So..Things that I have had to consider in taking this
next step:
1. Applying to my university for Winter 12/13 as a
"Free-mover" student. What is that? A Free-mover is basically a
student who is enrolled in the home university but attending and taking the
courses at the guest university. Super simple!
2. Applying for an extension of Visa. Sara7a this one is a bit
more complicated and a little boring to type out. If yall need help just holla.
3. Finding a new place to live or extension of your living
residence at your current residence. In my case, the girls I live with are
moving out because the Bauherr is renovating this whole joint so I don't have
the option to stay unfortunately because I love this apartment!
4. Finding a job...only if you want to of course! Most
german/european students have a part-time job while they study. It can be in an
office of your field of study or anything you want to do! You have to basically
figure out what you want to experience, ask around/research for vacancies, and
take on a new challenge. If you're already financially stable and see no need
for it, then that also goes. Keep in mind if you do want another job or an
extension at your praktikum's company, then you should organize your
application process and prepare yourself a couple months in advance.
How do I feel about it all so far?
Well..its mid August and my Praktikum ends in 2 weeks. Fall
Semester starts in beginning October but I will take (and honestly need) a
month break in between in sweet, sunny Amman. I have dealt with the University
since June, and just finished managing the Visa-extension story today. I also
found a wonderful place to live in the center near Stadthausbruecke, but it is
unfurnished :(. After lots of thought crammed into a very short decision-making
period of a week, I've decided to take it. Yes, I will have to deal with the
furnishing once again, but I think its worth it because I already got half the
stuff I need and finding a room in that location is very rare! My only worry
real worry is moving furniture from A to B :S. I'm tough, but I ain't that strong
hehe. I desperately need el 3amo with the truck in the souq down the street,
who's available at almost any time and who's willing to take your stuff
anywhere for 10 to 15 jd tops...but sadly its just not like that here!
Bis zum naeschsten mal..
