I know I’ve said that you know I haven’t been feeling my best when I don’t post for a while.

However, the opposite may also be true. Sometimes I’m occupied with many great and new things, and at times, forget all about this site. XD
And then there’s the third option, which is somewhere between the two: I’m very, very busy. In the past few months I have prepared myself, mentally and otherwise, to return to my homeland. And now I’m here again.

Yet with all the challenges that I overcame thus far, there’s still more and more things piling up. At the moment I feel a tad pathetic for living in a virtually non-furnished place. Still, once again I’m living all on my own, and for the first time in notable distance of my mum’s place at that.
Slowly but surely I’ll make this place a home, but there’s still lots and lots of things to take care of. At times I find it hard to prioritize, and many things seem equally important when I have to pick one thing at a time to work on.

I’ve been living without a fridge for a month… which also equals the time I’ve been living in my new place. After coming home I was crashing at my mum’s to bridge the time until I found a new place. If it was just looking for a house, that’s one thing, but I also had to seriously consider where I’d want to stand in the future. Even just picking the city wasn’t as easy as I thought.
My initial idea was to just continue studying, however, it was soon obvious that I’d have to find some way to overcome the time until the new semester/year would start in September. Not just so I wouldn’t sit on my ass during those months, but also because I have no claims on my child support and the like if I am not studying or doing internship etc. And even in the case that I can’t find a spot I have to continue proving to the relevant agencies that I am actively looking.

Well, it’s not that I am entirely without plans and ideas on how to remedy my situation. Aside from a university, I’ve also applied for the “Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr” (= Voluntary Social Year) and there’ll be an interview coming up this month. And who knows, perhaps I’ll want to quit studying and kick off the worklife after all?

Despite the somewhat depressing issues here and then, I do think I have a lot to look forward to, as well as be thankful for..
All my belongings, and of course myself, managed to cross the ocean once more and arrive here safely.
And hey, it’s my birthday this month too.
