1. Bought plane tickets to Frankfurt for February. Procrastination/indecisiveness paid off, because between last week and yesterday, the price dropped $130. I'll be arriving at 7:50 am Feb 6 and leaving at 1:45 pm Feb 24, and the last weekend I'll be visiting a friend in Stuttgart and hopefully seeing Hertha play live, depending on what the DFB schedules.
2. I got a response to my WG-Gesucht post! The room is 90€/week, which is super cheap. She's going to email me photos.
3. Can you buy just the extension part of a MacBook cord? I don't want to deal with outlet converters, since I only have one. The part I'm talking about is the part that snaps into the brick if you slide off the flippy thing, the extension cable. There's this, which goes into the brick, but I don't know how far the cord will have to reach for an outlet.
3b. What's the best place to pick up a USB charger port thing? Amazon.de tells me they're called a Ladegerät. (Ie what's a German Best Buy type store?)
4. Vodafone vs T-Mobile/Telekom vs O2 vs other: go.
5. I really need to get off my ass and finish this module (on language acquisition theory and language pedagogical theory) so I can get at least another after that done before I go teach for 2 weeks.
6. OMG I'M GOING TO TEACH GERMAN FOR TWO WEEKS I NEED TO GO BACK AND RELEARN BASIC GRAMMAR AND WHAT IF I FORGET THE GENDER OF A WORD AND AUGH FLAIL
7. Contemplating (again) applying to the Middlebury MA program. 4 6-week sessions where you have 3 classes doesn't seem too bad, and the course offerings sound interesting. And maybe I can place out of/get credit for one or two with whatever certificate I get from this thing. Augh. (Mainly considering this because there are so many "MA required" jobs out there.)
