As things take shape

Things are rolling along quite smoothly.

About a week ago, I received notification that I will be placed in the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium, a high school in Ratingen, which is a suburb of Düsseldorf. I've already received a hearty welcome e-mail from the French teacher at the school. (In my last year abroad, I learned not to question the random scattering of languages I find myself required to work with each day.) She gave me some tips on finding an apartment, even going so far as to recommending me to someone who would happily rent to me, no problems, no questions. Nice to have that opportunity.

I also have finally booked my flight to Germany. It came in at a mere $6 under the limit allotted me by the Fulbright Commission. Fabulous. I'll be departing MSP in the morning of September 1, 2010.

Things are really zipping along now. Wow.
