A while back I mentioned that there might be some good news. Well, it is about time I reveal what that is. I got some money for the summer to study German. Unfortunately, I had reconciled myself to not doing anything like that for the summer, so now I have to figure out what I'm going to do. I have the opportunity to go to one of the best programs in the country for most of the summer and pay a considerable amount above what my funding level, or I can go to Germany to study for a shorter period and have enough funding to cover food and travel. This will also let me see Blimpish, our long lost friend. But I don't know if I can say no to the domestic program, but then again it will cost a bit and I'm not sure it will put me in that much better a position since I'm taking language courses all next year. So, either way I'll be traveling this summer, learning German.
