Greetings from Austria. I flew in last Tuesday to Frankfurt, where I then caught the train (about 8 hours) to Vienna. Everything went smoothly, and Katie and I met up in the train station. We called up the Rainer, who let us head over to his room for a bit so that we could use his internet and book a hostel for the night. We found a place not ( Read more... )

Well, I sure have been bad at keeping up with this over the summer...but maybe that is for the better. I am sure I would have just griped about my waitressing gig. But, none-the-less, it was a great summer. I got to see many of your friendly faces...visited many of you, had some of you come here. The other night as I was trying to fall asleep, ( Read more... )

So this week started off with an interview with the international student office at a school in Innsbruck. We arranged to have a webcam interview over skype. So, I got all prepared, set it all up, even changed the date so that it would all work out....when, at the last minute the computer I was on crashed, so I had to run, get my laptop, and do ( Read more... )

I want to thank you all for all the great birthday telephone calls, emails, cards and happy wishes. I had a wonderful day. Well, it ended well nonetheless. I started my day training at the Cracker Barrel. Which all that training means is that I did all the work, and the trainer picked up all the tips ( Read more... )

We had to go off on a service road around Lebanon Mo, and got distracted for a while in STL looking for the Pasta House, so ended up taking about 9 and a half hours to get there. When we arrived the Kehoe clan and our parents had all ( Read more... )

Settling in here at home. Have gotten re-accustomed to driving everywhere, fast casual dining, and good old Central Illinois. Also joined my parents' gym with a 3 month student pass, and have been training myself to be hungry at 4:30 for the early bird specials ( Read more... )

Well, I have been back about a week now, but have not taken the time to write in. I have kept fairly busy, mainly having fun ( Read more... )

Had a long day yesterday, including getting up at 4:30, checking out of my apartment, taking a bus to Vienna, plane to Dublin, walking tour of Dublin, and drinks with the teachers ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is my last day in Wels, so my weekend has been spent trying to pull all loose ends together to be ready to leave here at 5:30 am Monday morning. Yesterday I spent the day running errands downtown in the rain. I re-abmelded (de-register) closed out my electricity account, signed up for internet banking, bought a couple pairs of pants, ( Read more... )
