Pre-Expat Blog Updates
After tonight, I will only have two more Saturday Nights in America and instead of ~going wild, I spent it:
Consuming only half of the most delicious cheese pizza (ever) so I can have hot pizza and cold pizza in 24 hours
Binge drinking on a bottle of red. This was v. necessary for the next few activities.

"How to let go"
Two layers underneath me is my actual comforter where I should be snuggled and sleeping (or more realistically, watching Dr. Who movies), but instead I am sitting two layers above determined to either a) put clothes in a suitcase for Prague b) put clothes in a garbage bag for goodwill or c) put clothes in a suitcase I am leaving at my friend’s house.

If any of you future expats
were hoping that I would figure out the shortcut through the EU visa/green card (bullshit) process and tell you before you waste lots of money like I did, well sorry, there isn’t one.

Our rate is $150.00 per hour with a minimum 3-hour charge — in other words, even if the time needed is say only 20 minutes, the 3-hr. rate is the minimum, or $450.00.
