My title game is still going strong. #getonmylevel Weeelllll our original plans to go to Munich this weekend did not pan out. BUT we were not about to waste time. So we still went to Germany! We went to Passau, which is essentially still Austria. Even when I bought my ticket at the trainstation,…

its been tour-ific!
So titles are not my strong suit. I get it! This week I have been to 2 different tours in Steyr. The first was in “The Tunnel Of Rememberance”. You may vaguely remember this being mentioned – it is a museum about WWII in Steyr, located inside the old Air Raid shelter tunnels under Schloß…
busy birthday in budapest
this is a full post. hopefully it doesn’t take me more than 3 hours to complete – but it’ll depend on how good my internet connection is. So we’ll have to see! On thursday me and a group of 11 other FH students left for Vienna at 8:15, where we caught a bus to Budapest!…
conGraz on a great trip!
We stayed in Austria this time! This weekend was a National Holiday in Austria to celebrate the beginning of May. On friday in Steyr was the raising of the May Pole! This is a big festive event – in Stadtplatz they hung flags and banners, they decorated the bridges with small Christmas Trees, and there…

Well well well, what have we gotten ourselves into?! If you follow me on Instagram, you will already be well aware that I was in Prague this past weekend – because I posted about 5 times, almost in a row. Apologies for that, by the way! On Friday, me and Ireland got on a 6:15am…
i’m just czech-ing in.
This post is for my dad. Another travel weekend was had this past weekend as we readied to go to Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic. We were planning on leaving Sunday morning really early to catch a train to Krumlov. It takes about 4 hours to get there, so we decided to take the 6:15 train…
this post is Lactose free!
I have never been good at puns. They are a source of humor that vastly escapes me. However, I have a couple that I will save for the end of this post. If you follow me on Instagram (@ekpattz_) then you will have already read them, and so I apologize for forcing you to read…
it’s all greek to me!
Well ladies and gentlemen, here is the anticipated post about my Easter Break Vacation. I use the word “vacation” lightly, because I didn’t do much relaxing – I did a lot of moving around haha. I left Vienna on a plane to Belgrade, Serbia at 9:30am on monday. With a 2 hour layover in Belgrade,…
what are the chances?
WELL this blog has been quiet!! I haven’t posted for 2 weeks! That is crazy to me, because I feel like I’ve been doing stuff, but none of that stuff is showing up. And then I remembered: it’s because I’ve been too lazy to write it down. And I have to do that now. Dang…
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…
a history lesson you didn’t ask for.
Hey friends. Today was our city tour of Steyr. And there were some good facts that I want to write down and remember. And since this is my journal, I’m going to write them down here. If you don’t want to read that, you don’t have to. Skip this post, and we’ll see you next…
lest we be divided.
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,…

Hi friends. Tired of my updates yet? 🙂 OF COURSE NOT BECAUSE I’M GREAT. Anywaysss…… today was a good day. is* a good day. We started out around 10 today when Chloe’s buddy Jenny came by the flat to pick us up. We went downtown to an electronics store so Chloe could pick up…
