  • A vest or some other garment with lots of pockets, pre-loaded with passport, ticket, and several pens. Paperwork multiplies and you cannot flip your hand luggage open and closed all the time (for starters, it's stowed overhead in the cabin, where you might be asked to fill in immigration forms before landing).
Repost to add: Also put everything that's even remotely likely to set off a security scanner into those pockets, the goal being that the vest slips off and goes through the hand luggage scanner while the people scanners let you pass on the first try.

Unfortunately this means I won't be able to go on the forum often, if at all. That's okay though, I'm sure the trip will be plenty enough to make up for it.

We *will* expect an intel report on the Silent World once you get home, though.  With pictures.  (Can you persuade your brother-in-law to let you take photos of all those mighty Old World military machines now gathering dust in their hangars?   ;) )  And maybe reports on the best brotchen and wurst.

Wait what's wrong with Hetalia? I don't really know much about it, but I know of it and people seem to have such extreme reactions to it. Is there something really bad about it?

All I know is that hetalia is synonymous with my middle school years for me so I have bad memories ofthe trash human being I used to be >_>

brotchen

You mean brötchen, as in breadroll? That's an oddly specific thing to be interested in.

You think so? To be honest (and fulfill the cliché), the hunt for perfect Brötchen for the Sunday breakfast is a very important occupation in my family. The bakeries often experiment with new sorts, so we kind of rotate to make sure we don't miss the best sort. ;)

Yyyyyyep, I cried at that one too. Seems to be a common reaction. You had some tissues, I hope? ; )

No tissues. So, it was one of these moments you try to stay dignified. More or less.

Alright, so. I'm a few weeks into the new school year, now. I've moved five times in the last five months, most recently on Friday.  I was hoping to have some more time for the forum now that I'm off work, and wont be moving again for several months, but... this is going to be a very busy semester. I'm already getting about 3 times as much homework as I'm used to, and I have tests (upcoming this week already)/papers/projects in all of my classes already.  And the crippling dread that I'm studying the wrong thing that was giving me small panic attacks before coming back is persisting even though I'm already back, and... Basically... I'm stressed and distraught and I'm making a terrible Forum-Thor for y'all cause I've barely been here in months.  ;__;  I'm so sorry y'all, and I hope I can come back and Thor full time again soon.

Same. To quote Yuuago, "Urgh." Hope you're able to get everything in order/ done.

Aw. I'm not very much help in the advice department, but really, real life comes before forum life, even for Forum-Thors. Take care of yourself. Here's to you being able to tackle your semester work and anxiety issues.
