Thesis Progression

I’ve got 3 months extension for my Master thesis like most all of my classmates. So it looks like I will be around Germany until the middle of this year. It seems like 18 months program is kinda a longshot for most of us. In fact, I don’t know anybody in my class that will finished at the end of March. My school even postponed our graduation party to the beginning of July.

Not that it such a big problem except I am really worried now about my financial situation. Of course, I am enlisted as teaching assistant at my school but the fund is kinda tight. I am hoping to get more project which paid more but on the other hand I am still have to write my thesis. Catch-22. Bummer.

My visa will also expired next month and I need to have an extension and I hope the extension process will not be so painful and complicated since I already have enough stuff to worried about (Already late paying my rent because I just don’t have any liquid fund right now). So, really, I don’t need more problem right now.

OK, I have research report to write, thesis to write, jobs to do, visa to extend and rent to pay. Phew. Quite a long list.

boy, i don’t know the rules over there, but here in the US it’s ok to have your visa expired as long as you don’t go out of the US and then coming back. visa is only needed to enter the country.

Sorry to learn about it. Just do your best. I don’t know why, but there will be a way. Hang on there. Everything will be OK.
