Just A Tad Bit Panicky

15 Comments

I’m borderline totally freaked out. Trying to push everythign as far out of my mind as possible but it keeps creeping back into my head, why the heck do I not just stay home in my little town and do some normal things?! Nope, I always have to go abroad and not see my family and friends for a while and wander off. Yeah. I sit in my teenage room here and I’ve got all my things here and I get really sad about only being able to take two suitcases along. Stupid, huh? It’s not like I need all the crap that I have here but I get melancholic even when I take one of my mugs out of our kitchen cabinet to make tea. STUPID!
It’s just kind of weird, seeing that I was waiting for this visa to go through since August and now that it’s finally close to happening, I panick because it’s all going so quickly (the plan is to get the OK on Friday, have a party on Saturday (you’re invited if you’re near Hildesheim!!)receive the visa on Monday, fly out Tuesday). Though thinking about that, I might have to fly out Wednesday so I don’t have to panick about not getting my passport in time. Hmmmm. Something to think about in case I do get it.
Ahhhhh! I’ll be back in a year, nothing to worry about but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Anyway, I’m collecting binding ties right now. What do you think? work contract for 01/01/2009, letter from my local sports club, my local registration card (Meldebescheinigung), list of upcoming big family events in Germany, liability and glasses (Fielmann Nulltarif :-D) insurance contracts, bank account statement, print outs of my stock funds (not that I have many but I figure stocks are kind of a long term investment so it might be a good thing to take along). Other than that I could take a photo of the German boyfriend and me or a letter from my parents saying that all my crap is at their place and I’d better get back and take care of it. Any other ideas? *panicks*

  3. I TOTALLY understand. I was exactly the same way when I had to leave last year. Although we had worked for the GC so hard, it was really hard to leave… [so hard that I actually took one of my mugs out of the cabinet and brought it here. Sentimental, huh?]
    You’ll be fine. It’ll be for a year – it’s JUST temporary.
    Just enjoy the excitement and the little bit of panic 😉 It’s normal.

    P.S. Yeah, who’s that German boyfriend? Did I miss something?

  6. p.s. i have to find out if southwest flies to charlotte. with my frequent flyer awards, i would SO be coming to visit you 🙂

  7. Yeah, get a letter from your German boyfriend. 😉
    Other than that, your binding ties sound pretty good. Good luck at the consulate. That sounds like the next week will be really stressful, hopefully all will go well! I had no idea you were so close to leaving already!

  11. Wow, time’s flying now, huh? I think you’ll be just fine and this bit of panicking is just part of the game. Think how boring life would be otherwise! Fingers are crossed for Friday!!!!

  13. Ohje Du…setz Dich erst mal und trink einen Tee. 🙂 Einen Starken. 🙂
    Ich hatte nur zwei “binding ties” mit und sie haben mich trotzdem rein gelassen, obwohl unserer doch sehr ausgefallenen Geschichte. Es wird schon nichts schief gehen und sollten sie Dich rausfischen, hast Du genuegend Unterlagen bei Dir. 😉
    Drueck ganz doll die Daumen !!!
