. . .but I can't. So I'll have to make do with livejournal and facebook updates. And obviously it's important, as I'm updating my LJ for the first time in forever. So anyways, I got engaged a week ago (Sunday the 15th)!!! I couldn't say anything for a WHOLE week, though, because I waited for the candle lighting-- which in sorority world is the ( Read more... )

It's amazing how the loss of the internet can make one feel so extremely isolated. I realize that I do have living and breathing friends, there are such things as printed texts, and that the loss of a major distraction might in fact improved my study habits, but let's face it-- I'm totally interent dependent. I miss talking to friends on line, ( Read more... )

Without looking back at my last journal entry, I don't have a clue as to how long it's been since I've updated. Oh well. Right now I'm writing from one of the open computer labs at St. Andrews. I love it here. Can I stay for a little while...please? But not too long, because two weeks from yesterday and I'll be back in the States! And two ( Read more... )

One of the questions I forgot to mention was "are all the high schools in the United States like what we see in movies? Is everyone beautiful?" Well, let's see.

So I hustled to get ready in time to meet early to go to class, which was being taught by an alternate teacher at an alternate location. I was industrious (fleissig-- one of the words I remember from first semester German) and had a brochure for the place with the address, and a map. We got there with 10 minutes to spare. And who didn't show up ( Read more... )

I know what you're thinking...TWICE! In one day! Crazy, I know, but perhaps I'm just that bored. No waffles tonight, because Graz has decided to make like Seattle and copy the mist-like rain. Snow, I want snow. This is Austria...where's the snow? Maybe I'll have waffles tomorrow, though I'm not counting on the snow ( Read more... )

...I've GOT to start proofreading my entries. They're completely atrocious as far as spelling and mechanics go. Ugh. I can write, really I can. I've decided that my problem is most of my entries are done in a rushed period of time, and are huuuuge. So I should consider them "English skills maintenance" and start making more time, update more ( Read more... )

The Christmas lights are on, and today's the first Sunday of Advent. Yay!!! I got back from Salzburg late last night, so I've yet to make my way into the Hauptplatz to see the Christmas lights all turned on here. But in Salzburg they were beautiful! When we came to Salzburg in high school, I decided that it had to be one of my favorite cities ( Read more... )
