I have been in Vienna for 29 days and I am getting tired of it. Dont get me wrong, its alot of fun here but 4 weeks is a long time to be away. I think I wouldnt have such a problem with it if I was in the same country but I am just so far from home and Chanelle and my room and everyone. I am in a whole nother time zone for goodness sake. Austria is 6 hours later than the United States. So right now its 130pm and in Montclair its 730. My days half over and yours has just begun. Freaky, eh?

Its really pisses me off that their keyboards are different. The y and z are switched places so whenever i want to write a y i have to go back and erase the z! So frustrating. But I figured out how to use the question mark symbol...lol..took awhile. But look what i can do....€. The euro symbolll!!! WOOT!

Tonight I am going to a ball with my roomate, who is a 20 something year old jouranlist from Croatia who came here to study German with this program. It should be fun. I am gonna learn how to Waltz.

Monday I leave for Graz!! I am so excited to see Anita again. I wasnt sceduled to come until the 5th but I am ready to leave Vienna.

I found the town where my Grandma came from. Its called Piber and its not so far from Graz but at least 2 hours from here. Maybe Ill go check it out during the rest of my stay.

Hope everyone is having a blast this summer.
I come back August 11!
Chao!
