Matze bought a car yesterday. He's been going on about it for two weeks now and finally found one yesterday which is a huge relief because he was stressing everyone out by only talking about cars. It's a used Ford Fiesta and he's going to pick it up later today (it all went down really fast) and he's happy about it. We're mostly sitting around at home and being sick though which is just as fun as it sounds.

I have the Yale application done. Finally! I got an email from the person who's supposed to be helping with it at 4am telling me and the others that she'd send us one more email today, so even though I'm done I'm waiting for that email before I send the application in. There are one or two things that I did a little shoddily that she might be able to help with, so I'm hoping that's what she'll write with. But otherwise I'm done and it's a huge relief. Now I should get started on the huge Robinson paper I need to hand in sooner than I want to.

My schedule for next semester is still not set in stone because the people at the language center are completely incompetent. All other classes have been up since February 14. I know the language center always takes longer but usually not more than two weeks. And they know exactly that everyone who studies a language needs to take classes with them and they pretty much give the same classes at the same time every semester, so why can't they get their shit together?

Congratulations on the car - it's a skeery thing, but also fun.

YALE, wow - good luck! :)

He really wanted a car and where he lives (middle of nowhere, busses stop running regularly after 8pm) he really needs one.

Thank you! Sometimes I'm still surprised that I'm applying to Yale. I'd be going as a non-degree seeking student and only for a year. I applied for the Germany-Connecticut Exchange Program at my university last year, putting Yale as option #1 (because everybody does) but there are only seven or eight spots for Yale for all of Germany, so I figured it was a long shot and was pretty content with option #2, University of Connecticut but my university nominated me for Yale and I just completed the last round of applications, so I should know within two weeks if it all worked out.

Oh, and Yale waives tuition if I go through that program. Otherwise, I could never afford it. That's the big draw.

It's very, very cool. and as a non-degree student, I imagine it'll be less stressful and more just 'homg, Yale!'.

More or less. I have to write my master's thesis while there :P But I'll still have plenty of time to be excited about it.
