Dude the weather's been crazy here the last little bit. This morning I was awoken by heavy rains and very loud thunder claps. And for those of you who have every tried to wake me up, you know that it's not particularly easy.
So then because of the bad weather, I didn't want to leave early to go get a visa. So I left at the regular time by which the rain had stopped. I went to the Ausländerangelegenheiten (I think that's what it was called. It was something close to that.) Told the lady my deal and ya. She was kinda upset with Berlin because she was like "Why do you need something if you're just going be here for a month?" So I explained that I got to Germany on 28. April and that I got a residency permit while I was in Berlin but they said they couldn't issue it for the time I would be in Tübingen. This didn't freu her. According to her, they were supposed to have issued it in Berlin ("Das hätten sie in Berlin machen sollen. Nein, das hätten die eigentlich machen müssen" is what she said.)
And another difference: In Berlin you have to register with the police if you're gogin to be there longer than 3 weeks. She said that here they don't require it unless you're staying longer than a month.
So what she ended up doing is putting an official sticker in my passport with official stamps that gives me permission to stay in the country until I leave on the 31st. Which is cool because 1. I'm not here illegally anymore and 2. I didn't have to pay another 50 euros for a visa thing. The only condition is that I can't leave Germany and like go to another country or anything. But that's cool. I don't want to go anywhere outside the country. The only trip I have planned is to Paderborn next week. Speaking of which, I have to check on train tickets. PEACE!

Gir-
Hecka glad your not an illegal anymore, that is great.
I wish it would rain like that here, I love that!
Have a sweet weekend, yo.
Oh ya I'm so sure you'd really love waking up to roaring thunder, thinking "Didn't Garth Brooks sing a song about this?" looking at the clock and realizing that it's 5am.
