Aug. 9th, 2013 07:36 pmStuff I need to fix in preparation for uni:
- Quit my job (currently trying to write the mail. It's not going very well, since I've never had to quit my job before).
- Apply for student's allowance (asap)
- Acquire course lit (all books reserved from the library bar one)
- Acquire the traveling cards I need (SDFGHJKL DO NOT WANT)
I'm going to Uppsala university this term, as Stockholm university doesn't have the program I wanted to read; Uppsala is a city located about 50-60 minutes north of Stockholm, outside the county border, which makes public transport a bit of a bitch. Basically, you can buy a 30-day-travel card for both Stockholm and Uppsala county, but it... costs more than a thousand SEK (about a hundred pounds). For students.
Still, I'm pretty sure that's still cheaper than actually living there. Which is both expensive, hard to find, and I'd still need to pay for some kind of travel cards in both counties if I want to go home over the weekends. On the other hand, not living in Uppsala is a lot more inconvenient, seeing as it'll take four hours there and back per day.
I'm still not sure whether I've made the right decision re: housing, but. In that case I'll know what to do next term.
Today I cleaned my room for the first time in you don't want to know how long. Go me. Will try to go to bed relatively early in order to re-establish my normal sleeping schedule; might go up early to shop for groceries and bake some. I swear anything I bake in this house disappears within the next 24 hours.
Big Finish update:
