august 1 day 4
these are pictuers of my dorm the big brick wall on the right of the
side ways picture is the clock tower
the other one is the inside of my room
my windows are the three just over the door
of the white building
I am considering being a german intensive student in vienna instead of being a university
student as I thought I had to be. more importantly I know I have a choice now.
the way I under stand it the difference between intensive and university is as follows
intensive german program
I am automatically signed up for 12 credits at the central office in vienna
I can't take classes at any of the universities in vienna with out paying for it out of pocket
university program
I am free to choose what classes I take at either central or any other university in vienna
some central college classes are not avaliable to me
either way I will get a german minor but what I really need is 3 history credits if I don't
get those I won't graduate on time. (which would be the end of the world)
I went to class today andrea aparently moved down a class into my class. andrea has had a
total of 1 semester of german and she had to audit it because she didn't attend classes
I'm not sure how she managed to test into a higher level than me but I think I should be at a
higher level than her. of course I'm not sure what she did over the summer. further more
maggie and I seem to be the fastest people in our class so I think I should move up a class
after class today I went online for a insanly long time probably 2 - 3 hours I talked to
mom and dad then posted stuff on my blog and looked up stuff
by the way my dormis located at the following longitude latatude coordinates
49 degrees 06'54.86" north
9 degrees 44'09.49" east
then I went to and information meeting were they retold every thing we should have known already.
then I went to the super market and got a glass (for drinking) a tupper ware container (for eating out of and storing food) and a bag of spagehitti. I had plain spagetti noodless for dinner tonight , tomarrow I plan to steal some butter from breakfast so I can have noodles not a stringy blob.
tommarow I think I will go to the bike shop and get a cheap bike deffinatly used probably a
"towny / civilian" bike that is close to fitting me and most importantly is as cheap as possible.
it doesn't have to last long just two months. thats less time than my walmart bike lasted and
I was stupid on that thing.
microsoft word stopped working probably because it was a trial version
people who are eating supper in the other room are discussing going in together on food were
every day one of them goes out and buys 15 euros worth of groceries and then some one cooks and
they eat like kings if im asked if i want in i'm gonna say no i can eat like a poper for less
than 3 euro a week. and atleast thats how i want to eat right now.

I don't know how often you check these comments - but I wanted you to know that I'm extremely jealous of you!
. . . . not so much the eating like a pauper or the wandering in the rain to no avail - more just the experience of being overseas. OK, maybe I'm a little jealous of the wandering hopelessly around a new town / city / country . . . even with the pouring rain :-)
I'm with Julie - I think I'll learn a lot from reading about your experiences. It sounds like you're learning a lot about yourself on top of all the "education" stuff.
Enjoy your noodles with butter
