3 tickets later…

Howdy y’all. How’s it shaking? Last week I had lectures on monday/tuesday/thursday, so I stayed home later in the week as apposed to last week where I was done on wednesday. And I have definitely been bitten by the travel bug because I was itching to go somewhere for the weekend! But I was a…

a new perspective

Wells, this is my second week of lectures, which is crazy to me. And I will say that things are set up VERY differently here than at home. For starters, lectures only happened once a week. And they can last anywhere from 1-4 hours. Some lectures don’t even happen every week! Take my Austrian Culture…

I’m Not Wien-ing About It

It’s not really pronounced like that, but I’m going with it. After going to Wels on Thursday, I got up early Friday morning to pack up my things for Wien (Vienna)! I was going with a boy named Christophe, and we were meeting up with a group that had already gone to Wien on Thursday,…

Well, Wels was swell.

I’ve been waiting days to be able to type that title. Hi friends! It’s been about a week since I’ve last blogged, and what a week it has been! As a side note for people who have subscribed to my blog, you’ll notice that I will post 2 or more posts in a row, and…

some lasting effects.

Well, my sunday was spent touring Linz, the capital city of Upper Austria. And my, was it a long day! It started kinda early, with us leaving the flat at 8:30 to be at the train station for 9. However, we over estimated how long it would take us to get there and it took…

Well hello. It’s me again. Side note: its pronounced “Sh-tire”. (Steyr) The past couple days we (all the exchange students) have been in class – Professional Performance in a Globalised World. It sounds pretty dry, but we didn’t actually do much “learning” – it was all group work. Yesterday morning we started by doing a…

well that’s how you make a name for yourself.

I will now for the rest of the semester be known as “the girl who doesn’t drink”. but we’ll get to that later. The last couple days have been orientation/introduction. Which is actually a nice change. Our routine for the past several days has been: get up, go to the grocery store, walk back home,…
