I got my result from the DAAD after I have been there a few weeks ago!
Turns out, I won’t get the stipend, but I am on kind of a list, if anybody drops out. I consider that rather unlikely so I’ll concentrate on other methods to get some money. By the way: If you have some spare money and don’t know what to do with it, consider giving it to me 😉
Anyway, I still need a language test from IELTS before I can apply at the DCU and start looking for a space to live.
