The Race is On

My time in the Universität Tübingen is coming up fast. Yesterday we became temporary citizens of Germany in Tübingen, registered with the city, the school, the scholarship department, paid for our apartments, and opened a German bank account that we have to fill with six hundred Euros by the thirtieth. No easy task, let me tell you, in a country where you're not allowed to work legally.
I'm usually a pretty relaxed person, but in situations where I have no control over I turn into a freak-out fest. Yesterday I was on the fritz. With little help from native speakers we basically signed our lives away three times in German to contracts we couldn't understand. Let alone the fact I was the only one from my group to not see my apartment or get the key to the place because I live apart from all the other students. It's cool though. I mean, who wants to see where they live after they paid for it, am I right?
Do I still sound stressed? I'll work in a couple of deep breaths.
Whew. Sorry for the whiny blog. I'm sure I'll look back on this and remember it fondly, (At least I got out of a day of school for it...) but right now I'm just frustrated. Appreciation to the people who move to the states and go through our paperwork mountains.
Bis bald.
