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

CH1. Life Goes On 12: Week of Young Adult Novels and Desserts
Hello, Tim!
This week I have been reading some of my letters from the past, and I was actually struck dumb by how many of those "more advanced" words I had been using, and I just had this sudden rush of guilt throwing a right hook at me.
I don't know what has happened; I suppose that it is just a lack of time that caused me to neglect thinking about the wording, but I certainly hope that my mind would be able channel to a more refined mindset so that my weekly journal would not seem so bland and/or shallow.
I am now surrounded by people in the cafe, with Angela sitting next to me. She says that she is relatively free of any meeting or obligation today but she seems to have decided that spending a day's worth of the sun wallowing in a nondescript corner of an unlit room is not suitable. She called me out of my sweet home so that we can enjoy some company in a slightly crowded cafe.

CH1. Life Goes On 11: Not Knowing How to Do a Proper Harry Potter Review and Baby-Sitting
Hello, Tim!
I am now typing to the music from Eliza's ukulele in her room. Yesterday I slept over at her place, along with my little niece Sophie. This week my German class ended, and I had more time for more exciting (or tiring) adventures.

CH1. Life Goes On 10: The Trip to Penghu (Part 2) and Oh How I Hate Open Endings
Today is Wednesday, and I am sitting in a random seat of Louisa, an uprising coffee brand in Taiwan. My mom cut off the unlimited Internet access at home, so I have to come out to places like this, order a cup of Oolong tea so that I can write something down in my computer.

CH1. Life Goes On 9: The Golden Apple and the Trip to Penghu
Hello Tim!
Due to the inadequate amount of time given in the previous few weeks, I mentioned nothing about EHP's planned three-day trip. There are just a lot of memories I would like to put down, so let's just move on fast.
