I'm going to Dormund

Title Translation: I'm going to Dortmund!

Today I received confirmation of my placement at Universitat Dortmund. The details are still a little sketchy, but right now it's looking like I'll leave on September 8th, 2007 and return July 31st, 2008... nearly eleven full months later.

Dates I know for sure:
  • Pre-exchange language courses are from September 10th - October 5th.
  • Orientation and Registration are on October 9th.
  • Fall classes begin October 15th.
  • Fall classes end on February 8th.
  • Christmas break is from December 24th - January 6th (this I find odd).
  • I have a semester break from February 11th - April 6th (this I love).
  • Spring classes begin on April 7th.
  • Spring classes end on July 18th.
  • The last day I'll have campus housing July 31st.

What I know about housing:

  • I'll be living on or near campus.
  • I have my own room.
  • And I'll be sharing my bathroom with 2-6 people (last year I shared my bathroom with 41 other girls... this'll be a peice of cake... although I've been told by other exchange students that bathrooms/washrooms aren't really seperated by sex in Europe).

Things I really should do:

  • Get a passport.
  • Get a plane ticket.
  • Get a job (where I work more than one day a week).

you're not ready to take off the training wheels, you're to little to cross the str by yrslf,you want to drive...a CAR?, you think you are old enough to date..a BOY? All these things were hard for me..but you did all so well...now this? All I have to say is..CONGRATS, be carefull when you cross the str, don't drive and I don't think you are old enuff to date in Germany. As far as the training wheels...looks like they are off and you are ready to fly...just keep a box of bandaids near because everybody loses their balance sometimes. I'm proud of you.
