Another day waiting for answers. Everyone keeps telling me to relax and let it come. So I'm doing just that. I went to talk to my professor today about my exams. To pass you need a 5. I got a 2.3 and a 4.9. 4.9!! I wish I could upper case numbers! That means that in addition to the five classes I have next semester, I'll have to memorize the transliterations and the translations of all the texts we did in class. For both classes.
I had decided to hang it all up and go home. But then I got an e-mail about an apartment. And it's amazing! 22 m2. Huge windows, lots of light, only 2 flat mates (who were both knitting when I came in), washer, dryer, dish washer, light, gas, water. Half a block from the store. Just a few blocks away from school. Just down the street from where I live now (no crazy moving trip, close to my friends in the building). All for only €390. I just don't know.
I have to tell the girl by the end of the week. She's leaving soon and is desperate. That's a problem since I don't know that I'll have a decision by then! Is this apartment a sign? Gah.
All I can do is focus on wrapping up last semester. I have a few papers to complete, and Coptic to learn. I wish I could use Coptic as my yard stick; if I pass I stay, if I don't, I just go. But the exam isn't until the 20th, which would leave me apartmentless if I stayed, with only a few days to get a new place. Yargh.
Oh, Inflectional Paradigms of Sahidic Tense-Aspect-Mood Markers, how you vex me.
