I leave for Berlin in 23 days. There's so much I need to do!
I got some information from the accommodations department, but it's not terribly specific. Just things like "you'll have a fully-furnished room and linens and a shelf in the fridge where you can keep stuff" and "you may arrive 2 May and you must leave by 29 May."
Also, we're to show up at the Institut for the language placement test sometime 3 May and the course begins 4 May at 1 pm (ish). I'm terrified that my reading comprehension and written grammar (which the online placement exam puts me in C1 for, where C2 is the highest) will be higher than my conversation ability, which has suffered greatly in the dozen years since I've actively spoken in German.
Wenn ich auf Deutsch schreibe oder lese, kann ich Wörter nachschlagen, etwa überlegen. Ist nicht so einfach beim Reden, weisste? Wird sehen, ja?
Also: HOLY CRAP I'M GOING TO GERMANY IN LESS THAN A MONTH. JUST OVER THREE WEEKS. HOLY CRAP.
