The weather here in Sudbury (a city in Northern Ontario) is already changing, doing its part to get me ready for a fall spent in Europe as the temperature dips down to 15 degrees at night. Semi-Brrrrrr (oh come on, this is a relative statement...it's only the 25th of August!).
But as my departure date marches closer I'm reminded of the things I have left to do before I leave. And I'm not referring to any of the requirements for changing of student status or other administrative requisites that I've had to deal with before I leave (such as...consolidate my available funds, securing overseas health care benefits, selling of my car, cancelling my insurances, cell phones, etc., changing my address for all concerned institutions, renewing my yet-to-be-but-will-be-while-I'm-gone credit cards and drivers license ... not to mention all the things I had to do before I get there!...acquiring a visa, securing a place to live, learning the language, setting up visiting student status at a local institution, figuring out a local cell phone, etc., etc., etc.,) No, no, no, none of that. What I'm talking about a final paper that I have to write in order to complete the requirements for for a summer course that I'm taking! I'm not really complaining (at least with respect to the paper) as I've really, really enjoyed the course. In fact, if I maybe spent less complaining on this blog up and more time reading and writing for the paper, I'd be jumping over my last hurdle.
Having said that...I'm off to finish up lagging details!
