Guten Tag! (Good Day!)

Well, actually, good morning for me and good evening for you all. It's 1:17am here and 7:17pm for the Yoopers/6:17pm for the Fam. Today was a good day. It was kind of cold, though. And grey. I need to buy a hoodie or something. : /

I woke up at 8am and went to my new class at 9am. It was really cool because my german ability was actually challenged. My grammar teacher is really nice (and "hot!" according to Neil) and my conversation teacher is cool too. His name is Matthias (pronounced Mah-tie-us). I LOVE the german language! After class, Neil, Jenna, Laura, and I went to Mariahilfstrasse to shop around - we were told that the cheaper department stores were there. We were correctly informed. I found some things I may want to purchase, but I have to check on the money situation - I hate money.

So, due to money, and my need to go to Greece and see Kristin, I'm not going to London. Laura is still going, but I had to tell her today that I couldn't. I just don't think I'll have enough money for the rest of the time I'm here and for the trip to Greece. And Neil and Jenna are going to Munich this weekend - and I don't think I can afford that either. That sucks - cuz that's in Germany and I really want to go. Oh well, I guess it's just not meant to be this trip.

So, this weekend, I will be hanging around Vienna working on homework (yes, we get homework from ActiLingua, but not much) and exploring more of the city. Hopefully, I will find someone to clown around with because all my closest friends will be gone until Sunday.

On a happier note, today, Thursday, May 17th, is a Feiertag (Holiday)! We have NO CLASS! The roomies and I are going to do some exploring for our NMU class and get some note-taking out of the way. Maybe I'll write my response paper this weekend...

Okay, ich bin ein bisschen muede. Jetzt schlafe ich ein, um einen guten Tag zu haben. (Okay, I'm a little tired. Now I'm going to fall asleep in order to have a good day.)

hey taytor, buy a sweater instead of a hoodie, unless university kids/austrians are wearing them around the city too - it'll help you blend in more. love ya!

Kaitlyn....Oh if only we had money.....I would wire it to you so that you could take advantage of this experience. But, I don't have money...I do have a few bills - I could send those then you would feel better about your money situation.

Today is Saturday, and there is no RB with Kaityln :(

I am still going and I hope someone shows up, but it just isn't the same!

Hope you are having a great time
