Still at Home

I am still in the United States right now but I thought I would publish my first post today just so that I have something to look back on. As of now I still have no accommodations set up in Germany but this is not from my lack of searching. I must have contacted 30+ people between WG-Gesucht and Studentenwerk. I finally bit the bullet and e-mailed my boss in Germany to ask if she could help. She said she would pass on my question to a colleague who might have a room free. I hope this works out because I REALLY need a place to stay.

I leave for France in a little over two weeks and am nervous and excited for my summer ventures. I'm going to buy some luggage this weekend and compose a list of items to bring/items to buy in Europe.

I probably won't post again until I arrive in Europe so...until then!

  1. Hi, Laura!

    Happy packing!
    Regarding your housing situation - I really hope your co-worker has some good advice. Maybe he or she could house you for at least a few days while you search around once you get there. Alternatively, you could check out a cheap hostel ? ... ENJOY FRANCE. Can't wait to hear about it!

    Best,
    Kelly

  2. Thanks, Kelly! I actually have good news! I contacted my boss in Germany and she put me in touch with a colleague who might have a room free. I expect to hear from him tomorrow. Also, I will get back to you about my scholarship money--I'm just waiting until the end of the week to hear from CDS :)
