Hallo! Things are going well here. Conquered my commute to the school, visit to the bakery, drug store and supermarket. It's busy and quite honestly a bit stressful but I'm getting through it.
Sunday we left Mariazell to head to Vienna. When we got there I got to retrieve my lost luggage and move into my apartment. It is on the 5th floor (American 6th floor) in the 5th district. It's a pretty cute area and considering we have 8 people in my apartment there is a good amount of room. There is a toilet room(which is arranged with the hole in the front), shower room, cute little kitchen, and 4 bedrooms. We also have an RA in our room who is nothing like an American RA. She's basically given housing to be our friend and help us get around. Did I mention her mom brought us homemade apple strudel today?
German intensive started yesterday...and boy is it intense. I know about a marking period's worth of German from yesterday and even more today. It will certainly be amazing to see how much I learn.
After a little event this evening I went to practice and eventually got frustrated so I walked around the city for about 45 minutes (before it was dark of course). I found a concert of Mozart and Strauss but it was too much money. But it was still nice to see that I could find music so easily.
Tomorrow I am getting a brief tour of an art museum and back to German. I'm hoping to start seeing some of the sites once I get into a routine.
Hope everyone's doing well after the earthquake!
