Yeah, why not. That would be nice.vampireshark wrote:Incidentally, I also have my copy of the article that we submitted, which I could also send along once I get back home (it's on my personal computer; not my work computer).
And also a day too early over here.
Nah, it was OK. I was an undergrad at the time, and in reality, tbh, the paper was probably crappy anyway. I think it's fair to say I came up with better stuff later.vampireshark wrote:Thanks. And, yeah, that's not fun...Vijay wrote:Congratulations!
I submitted a paper to a journal once and had to wait forever to hear back from them as well (I think in my case it was a few years?). It was neither accepted nor rejected because they said they couldn't find a reader.
But I will keep learning German because it is one of my favourite languages.
Well done for going.Viktor77 wrote:I had a blast in Germany. I stayed in Hannover and went to Lüneburg, Bremen, Hildesheim, Berlin, and Marienborg Schloss. I got to eat at lots of local restaurants and try to speak German. I did learn a bit more so that was fun. If only I spoke more, my name on my train tickets looked so German: Herr Eric Becker.
In the end Germany was awesome and I'm glad I got to spend some more time there, and the people we stayed with were a blast! I'm going to go get Eis one last time because it's freaking amazing, and then I'm going to buy some German mayonnaise which I discovered is also just amazing. German mayonnaise and Belgian frites is going to be like freaking heaven!
Thanks. I'm glad I went and my husband crossed the border with no problems. No control at all. The bus had passport control but they weren't concerned with anything but the profile page.Salmoneus wrote:Well done for going.
I don't think I've seen anyone do that before. I'm sorry I didn't make it to see you and I'm sorry I didn't even reply to your message. I often read things and don't know how to reply in the moment and then forget later. It's even worse when a whole lot of people contact me at once. I spend whole days in my room sometimes because two people want to do something on the same day and rather than choose, I just drop off the radar.Viktor77 wrote:I had a blast in Germany.

I'm glad you're seeing someone. Life is best when we can share it with someone, and I agree with your counselor so have some fun with this guy and hopefully it leads somewhere. 
Personally, I've been finding that this is the one thing that's probably been helping me the most when dealing with anxiety.Imralu wrote:I've been learning a lot about myself
