Straightened out....Sorta

Right, so after a few hours research I've figured out what I need to have in by the various dates and what only has to carried with me, to a certain extent anyway. I gotta submit:

  1. Application for Admission
  2. Letter of Motivation
  3. September Course application with €250 Bank transfer
  4. Housing Application with €550 Bank transfer
  5. Buddy Program application
All in the next 2-3 weeks....I better get some sleep..

Confusion and Craziness

OK.
So yes I realize I have yet to leave the temporarily sunny shores of Ireland but I've decided to document the entire process. A process which began at 8:38 pm last night with the purchase of my one-way plane ticket and has since become a major headache.
Erasmus is hard. There are oh so many forms and regulations and rules and documents required and general jumping through hoops that it's a wonder anyone actually ever manages to go. 
What can I say, bureaucracy is a bitch.
So far the only things about the administrative side I actually know are:

  1. Konstanz needs to know I'll be there
  2. UCC needs to know I won't be there
  3. I'll need a place to live
As to the rest? No clue!
