I'm trying my best to keep my hopes down and not get carried away with dreaming or actual planning right now, but it's really hard.

The reason?

I've found out that my love and I could realistically close the distance in March. At least for half a year.

He wants to get his Master's degree in Germany and there's programme that's perfect for him, but it's 400km away from my city, conveniently about halfway between where I am and where he is now.
BUT before he has a go a university in Germany he needs to pass a language test. Seeing as he's not on the level right now he needs to take one semester of intensive German classes.
And here's the thing: My uni offers that sort of classes for international students, who apply here and don't have the required language level to start their real classes right away.
What he could do is apply for whatever studies at my uni, move here, learn German, pass the test and then transfer to the uni with his programme. It seems to be rather easy to get into my university, so there's a pretty high chance of us moving in together in March already. I'm trying to figure out what he needs to apply right now.

It's going to be for half a year only, because there's no programme for him at my or any other universities in my area. Plus I'm most likely moving (ironically back to his city) after the next semester, but it would be a start.

I'm excited about all of this. IF he really moves here, we need to find us a place to stay. I live in a student residence and have been doing so since I've moved here, so I have no furniture of my own. Which makes it pretty unrealstic to get an actual flat (although we could afford that). We'd probably get a two-room place at a privately owned student residence. It's down the street from where I live now and a slightly worse location, but I really don't want to move away from this part of the city. My gym is a 10min walk away and I've learnt to love that. Apart from that, it's a rather nice neighbourhood, but still reasonably priced.

THE Excitement!!!
