CH1. Life Goes On 16: A Week Left and a Promise to Reminisce

Hello, Tim!

Today is the Tuesday of the following week, meaning that my post has been long overdue. I would very much love to tell you that it would be because of the long span of time I spent pouring my time to write out heartfelt experience of the last couple of weeks I spent in Taiwan, trying to find that one right wording that would fitly juxtapose the emotion I am feeling at the moment, the bittersweet notion that my home will be temporarily be left behind, and how come that the heart of mine has been beating fervently, not because of the excessive amount of caffeine intake, but its knowing that some really thrilling expedition to a foreign land awaits me.
But me, being the mild disappoint that I have always been, I am here to tell you that I have mostly still been occupied by practically everything: the school-leaving process, the last lunch with my friends and teachers at Fuji, two farewell meals, Eliza's depart for England, etc. I meant to do this short notice sooner rather than now, but for the timeframe it was not really allowed.
But I can give this promise: on the plane that leaves this Saturday, I'll will have thirteen hours for myself, and I will make up for the lost two weeks that have proved to be both meaningful and extenuating.

Sincerely,
Hugo

CH1: Life Goes On 15: Yet Another Short Notice and an Approved Visa

Hello Tim!
Let's throw out the good news first: My visa has just been processed and is now approved! Of course, after the notice coming from the German Institution, there are still irksome endeavors to tend to, for example the insurance required by the German government, and the bank account I will be using as the dominant method of making payments. Both of which would be, from my perspective, too much to process for my liking, but in order to go out and live a life not quite like the others, this will be a requirement. (On a related note, I am pretty sure that I made some grave mistake by sending my application of insurance to two different companies, but hopefully I'll have it sorted out by the end of the week. Hopefully.)

Needless to say that there are still baggages to pack, and for now I am having one of the biggest dilemmas in my life and that would be choosing out which books do I take with me to fly all the way to Germany.
It is Monday, and the book of the week will still have to wait. I invested all my time from last week trying to get those the dense piles of words that are supposed to tell me about the conditions of the insurance as well as the German bank account, and judging from what I did at the end of the day, I knew almost next to nothing about them.

Anyway, my plane will possibly be on the 28th of September, and before then, I still have so many things to do.

Sincerely,
Hugo

CH1. Life Goes On 14: Out on the Verge and Germany

Hello, Tim!

So many things happened in the last two weeks. I have an idea of how to start the letter of the week.
Last week during the weekends, I was sitting at one of the desks in a cafe nearby that provides the occupant a power socket to charge their electronic devices, which is a very considerate gesture from the cafe, just like their free Wifi, moderate temperature, and the jazz music. It should have been a chilling day, accompanied by a cup of latte. However, it was one of the most stressful moments of these two weeks, for I was filling out (once again) the form for German university application.
But before we delve into the murky puddle that I would spend a lot of time clearing up, let's first wind it back to two weeks ago, where happier events took place.

CH1. Life Goes On 13: Late Update and Short Notice

Hello, Tim!
It's Tuesday, and I have yet uploaded the letter of the week; certainly I have been writing some long-hauled letter recounting the exhilarating adventures/mishaps of the week!
Nope. I would very much like to have the ability to do so, just because that would indicate that I had enough time I can use on my own accord.
This week was indeed memorable, but when the waves crashed down at weekend, I felt like I had all the buoyant afterglow of the happiness that was cultivated throughout weekdays had been knocked out of my lungs. I'll delve back into that later in the following week.
I didn't even finish the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows by Sunday.

Sincerely,
Hugo
