new plan
My original reasons for wanting to go to Berlin were to:
Get out of Singapore Make new work at a nice new independent interdisclipinary space like ZKU Spend more time in Berlin
My current reasons for wanting to go to Berlin are:
Being closer to you
My current problems about going to Berlin:
Grave financial difficulties Need to settle administrative stuff in Singapore for UK student visa, attend interviews, etc Am going to get out of the country proper for school anyway, so shouldn't rush to go to Berlin now.
THE SOLUTION?
Don't go to Berlin from June-July. Focus energy on getting UK scholarship and visa first. Get UK visa as early as possible. On UK student visa I am allowed to go one month in advance, meaning earliest arrival in uk can be 1 sept 2013. Wait for funding situation and see if EITHER Berlin or Grenada residency can be in August 2013. Go to Europe as early as possible. BETTER PLAN?????
