So last night I came to the conclusion I can not stay in Germany due to the fact getting a permit sucks and even if I came back with a permit Id make bad money as an ESL teacher (Id make the same in Russia. But at least in Russia I’d be studying Russian, which I need for the only PhD I am willing to do.) I talked about it with Patrick. At this rate I can’t afford our trip next year. And I am just not yet ready to gather my wits about me for a PhD. So for all my grad school friends (I assure you I still feel your pain)

I laughed out loud. And then I cried a little. However the good news is once you hit that point graduation is a cinch!
Anyway, Ive returned to the idea of maybe studying Biology again. It is the Sherrie dream of the day. I hope Hans has read my mind and he wants to chat today about the cool shark wrestling marine biologying super heros we will be.
Aren’t sharks supposed to be our friends now?
Now coelecanths, on the other hand…
(I have read your mind yes but can’t talk, mouth too full of marzipan…:P )
