Moving is becoming a  reality!  I've gotten rid of what I think is "lots" of clothes and books, but I know it's just the first round.  I've learned a few phrases in Dutch (there's no free 'Learn Flemmish' podcast, so I'll have to settle for Dutch).  I've set an official date: Dec 1, and I've submitted my application for an apartment (furnished, no less - would be so convenient).
