I have managed thus far to get my “mojo” back. Some semblance of what I use to be and of what I know I can do given the resources. Founding and hosting the 1st Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinner was a challenge I wanted to take and needed to succeed in - publicly. It was something that I felt I required as part of my induction into a German/Technology niche, no matter how small (in Frankfurt).
I have now managed to obtain the much coveted Media Pass to the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin Oct. 21 - 23.
Thanks to the kindness of Tim O’Reilly for making this possible.
The only challenge I foresee in the next week is:
1. How do I get to Berlin.
2. Where do I stay.
3. Where do I get the money to fund this.
I shouldn’t be going. I’ll be missing 4 English classes and that means not getting paid for the classes for that week but having the classes moved over to the first week of November. This is not good because it will be a lower amount of pay for my October Paycheck that will arrive at the end of November.
Because I am going to the Philippines Nov. 14 - 29 (my parents are paying for my ticket), I will not be working for half of November. December will be a very POOR month with only really, one week of pay in November that will be given to me end of December. You got it. Christmas. :o(
Sigh.
I am thinking of NOT going to the Web 2.0 Expo but how could I not. This is one opportunity that was given to me as a gift. I would never have been able to get in without Tim’s kindness. I NEED to be there at the Web 2.0 Expo. I am hoping things will find a way to work out - as they always do.
Come on Universe. Make it happen.
