Today was particularly busy in the office; it was the first day of classes, so we had many, MANY student dropping by and asking questions. I helped students sign up to get their residency permit and found myself informing many German students interested in taking a foreign language (Fremdsprache) that they do not need to register for their class quite yet, but just needed to attend and register online later. It would have been nice to record myself saying that sentence in German because I felt like a broken record repeating the same information over and over again.
Another task for today was envelope stuffing. The soon-to-be Erasmus students from Reutlingen needed to receive information about their grant, and I was the lucky person who got to prepare the envelopes. It may not have been a glorious job, but someone had to do it.
If you remember last week how I had to correct the links from the external website to the StudierenPlus program? Yes, that one. Well, apparently I somehow got the wrong links for every page that I had completed and needed to re-do them all. While that wasn't the best news, I took it, handled it as best as I could, and got to work.
After my particularly long day at work, I went downtown with Allie, Sarah, Gabi, and Rachel to find a dirndl for Allie. We were successful! She even got a discount because the time for Oktoberfest is slowly dwindling.
Once we were done with that, we stopped in the pub for a drink. I just hung out, while the others enjoyed their Banana-Weizens.
When we got back to the Hochschule, Allie and I ended up eating yufkas in Campus Kebab. They were, as usual, delicious!
