The Chinese have a phrase. Whenever it's really hot out they say it's "Re si le" (deathly hot . . . or so hot I want to die) . . . that applies right now. Last night I was seriously considering taking off my shirt and sleeping half naked in front of 6 other people, but I behaved and sucked it up.

Vienna's amazing. It's so gorgeous! I saw St. Stephan ( Read more... )

I'm so proud of myself. I actually figured out how the train works and I even talked to REAL AUSTRIAN PEOPLE (vs. people behind counters) on the train! Excitement!

The train ride was gorgeous. It's so good that I got to ride the train because it took me across almost the entire country. Lol, and getting across only took three hours by train. That's ( Read more... )

Today I went out and explored. Salzburg is friggen amazing! It's like Italy without the crazy people. I'm totally in love!

In the morning I saw a big cathedral, and the place they used to water the horses, and a castle with torture devices inside. Then I decided to go to this place called Hellbrunn, which is the place with the trick fountains. ( Read more... )

I'm almost totally packed. Nelle came over in the afternoon and she and my mom helped a lot. Lol, my room's still a HUGE mess though .. . I might just have to leave it like this. I really don't feel like cleaning it tonight, and I probably won't have time tomorrow ( Read more... )

I think I'm getting out of panic mode a bit . . . although it could still come back at any time. I'm more of in a "OMG, why haven't I packed yet?" mode. Perhaps I should start doing that before Nelle gets here. We're supposed to hang out together while babysitting her bratty little cousin, but at this rate it will be a miracle if Nelle gets here ( Read more... )

T -3 days until take-off. I'm starting to get into panic mode, to say the least. My room is such a mess and I have so much crap to do before I go . . . ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will I at least be understandable when I speak German? I sound like a total sped when I speak and I forget easy words . . . ahh!!!! Why am I doing this ( Read more... )

Omg, I had the most frightening moment of my life today! I got out of work early because no one wants to go get coffee when it's 95 degrees, so I went to get lunch and then get ice cream afterwards. I decided to go get ice cream at Xtra Mart (which is this gas station that sells HUGE ice cream cones for $2). I get back into the car, put down the ( Read more... )

Lol, I love Buns and Chou Chou! Their new video is soooooo funny ( Read more... )

Omg, I'm so full . . . and yet soooooooooo awake and hyper . . . should not have eaten that much . . .. will explain tomorrow . . . hopefully.

I guess I haven't had much to write about this past week or so. I've been mostly hanging around, watching TV, and playing this new game I have called "Hotel Dusk, Room 215." It's fun, actually. A lot more challenging than Phoenix Wright. But at the same time I think I like Phoenix better, simply because the characters are more loveable. The main ( Read more... )
