So, my preparations for my departure continue. It's remarkable that it's nearly here. One more week & I'll be leaving for New York. I shipped my backpack to my parents in NY today - I decided I was concerned about them losing my pack as on my flight to NY is on 2 separate airlines w/ 2 layovers because it's a one way flight. I figured it was worth the $30 shipping on Fed Ex.
I've decided that I'm going Stuttgart, Germany once I leave Paris. I was going to do some hiking in France, and I've been thinking about that for a long time, but I think that I want to get out of France before Bastille Day. I am thinking that the Black Forest and doing some hiking sounds like a good time. My rail pass covers the area & it's not that far from Zurich. I can go hang out in Germany for a bit, then go to Zurich. I think I'm going to add another day to my time in Paris. I don't think 3 days is going to be enough for me in Paris. This is what I LOVE about what I'm doing - I can totally change my plans at any given moment.
So, my profit sharing check is on it's way. I have the other checks that I was supposed to get, everything is coming together. I'm actually enjoying being unemployed right now. My savings gives me an artificial sense of security somewhat, but I also know that I have to believe that I'm going to be OK from here forward. This is going to be one amazing year.
I'm relieved to be done with my finals. I have a few weeks now to just chill & relax before I start my Edinburgh classes. But to take classes without working, no matter WHERE I am in the world, will be so relaxing. I'm looking forward to immersing myself in academia to a certain extent.
