As the take off day approaches, more and more little things have fallen
into place. I managed to sift through all the student loan paper work
and submit it without any errors the first time around! A major
accomplishment since international students must submit loan paperwork
the old fashioned way (think spreadsheets and very little electronic
help). My visa is my last BIG hurdle, which should hopefully be taken
care of by the end of the month. Although I still have a lot of little
things staring me in the face (banking, cell phone, plane ticket,
selling possessions) I've managed to make some fun plans for the first
few months I'm there. The biggest of which is flying out to Frankfurt
for a long weekend to the
Frankfurter Buchmesse
or the Frankfurt Book Fair. It's the largest book fair in the world and
from what I could judge based off of the pictures, looks to be the next
incarnation of Comic Con. People cosplay at these events! But it's also a fantastic
opportunity to meet well established people who work in the industry and
network your ass off. Which is exactly what I plan to do. Literary
agent anyone? Have your been to Frankfurt? What are some things to do
and see while I'm there?
