What strange weather. I had put off going to the grocery store all day, and then when it was time to bite the bullet I looked outside to see lightning and hear thunder as snow was falling. This did not last for long, and by the time I was heading back from the grocery store, nothing was falling any longer. I would say that all in all we got ( Read more... )

So I have been trying to work on applications for the rest of my life these days. So, that means I have been very good at doing everything BUT writing. Yesterday I stayed home all day (except for a quick run to Spar) to work on things, but I did not get that much further on my personal statement. If anyone has any ideas about how great I am, how ( Read more... )

Thursday night I was up chatting with Cristin online, reading the news when CNN was reporting all the damage the storm with hurricane force winds was causing across Germany. I switched to Austrian news and learned it was set to hit here that evening. Hurricanes in Austria, who knew? I guess I had never expected a Typhoon in China either ( ( Read more... )

Enjoying my time in the beautiful weather...no havoc wreaking ice storms here. Shopped a bit, went to Stiegl Ambulanz, watched a movie with Kristy and friends, did some Skyping. Tonight Kristy and I are going to go see Zauberfloete at the Volksoper. I am excited. I am trying to take advantage of living walking distance from the opera house. May ( Read more... )

Wow, so I have not updated here in a while. I will try to think of some highlights for you ( Read more... )

I'm at school using the super fast internet and loving it. I uploaded more pictures to the album Fall 2006, and added all of my Rome pictures (although I have not labled these yet).

Well, actually Happy couple days after Thanksgiving. For Thanksgiving day itself I did nothing too much out of the ordinary: taught a couple lessons, grocery shopped, napped and such. Friday I also taught (4 hours, more than the rest of my week combined), came home briefly to drop off my bag, and then met up with Katie at the train station. We ( Read more... )

Although I have been back in Wien a couple days, I am just getting around to finishing telling about my Rome trip ( Read more... )
