My future, all layed out
I guess most of you know that I am going to Stanford for my post-doc. This has become much more real now that I have a detailed plan for the next few months.
On June 21st I’m getting my J-1 visa. By the end of June I submit my now complete thesis. On the first week of July I go to Dastuhl, Germany for a seminar. On August 2nd at 12:00 noon I take my PhD exam, and the next day fly to the European Debating Championships in Istanbul, returning on August 12. By the end of August (or maybe July) I leave my dorm room, and by September I finish all my dealings with the Technion and get a certificate confirming my Ph.D. Then on September 17th I fly to Stanford. And then the world ends.
I have no real plan for afterwards. All I know is I would have to look for housing. I don’t even know where I’ll stay for the first day. I have never rented an apartment in my life, and now I have to do it all alone in a strange country. I’m scared.
