day 16

this is a dinosaur I made out of legos in class

day 16

ok today i had planned on going to the store and getting some pasta sauce and some pancake mix. i also planed to fix my bike tire (an inner tube costs 6 euros, i also got tire levers). i did both but to put the innertube in the tire i had to put air in it. the obvious option was to remove the valve core and blow aiir into it and then pinch it off and put the core back in but i can't tighten the core enough to make it air tight so i either need to find a tool to put the core back in properly or spend 6 moore euro on a new inner tube. if i do buy a new inner tube i'm gonna get a co2 catrige thing because i can fit that in a suitcase and i won't look like a pipe bomb (i won't bring co2 cartiges with me to austria)

i tried to buy oil at the hardware store today but the guy wanted 6 euros for a small bottle (general purpose oil) and i said no that to much then he said five and i said no thanks and walked out i can get a big bottle of 3 in 1 oil at home for half that price.

i tried to finf tortillas at the supermarkt and they didn't have any but they had pitas so i could make pita quesadias. there is no yellow cheese in germany. it is all white or whitish yellow.

so i thought by bike tire was working fo i rode up amountain (which was incredably hard to do even in first gear) to look for a nice place to take a picture of that castle town thing i showed in an earlier post (i forgot my camera) but i found the absolute perfect spot and the sun was setting off to the side so it was light up perfectly but there were trees in the way so i went higher and there ware still trees in the way i figured the only was to get this picture was to climb up ontop of a building but since im in another country and i don't speak much german i figured i should not risk it especially since i didn't have my camera with me. then i was ready to go home i checked my tire and it was starting to get soft. i said ohh no and jumped on and took off down this mountain . when i got to the bottom i checked the pressure again it was still ridable. and the rims were warm from all the breaking i had to do. any way when i got back the tire was still rideable but it will need to be repaired again. which is a shame because i was gonna start ridding it during the half hour breaks in the mornings tomarrow.

in better news i got an email from my advisor today saying that my religion class credit had been transfered to religion. which means as long as i get 3 history credits here in vienna i will graduate on time. so i am very happy. now i have to figure out what i want to do after college.

right now i am considering going into facilities maintence at central. and maybe bbuying a house and renting out the one side i have more information on this but it is quantative and mostly boring so i won't post it.

i found out today that an ice cream cone at the ice creme shop next door only cost .70 euro so i may have one tonight. since i'm so happy.

i have decided to go to munich and nurnburge durring my week long break right now i plan to stay in munich for 2-3 days and then visit nurnburge on the way back.

i found out that i got put into the dorm that i wanted in vienna so i will hav a place to store my bike. i just have to get it there. right now most of the group is thinking about taking the train instead of the planeso i might go with them. i also am considering taking the train and paying for another student to take my luggage on the plane then i meet them at the airport and take the taxi (central is providing) to the dorm. i'm not sure if central can refund my plane ticket money or if they use frequent flyer miles or what not. but it is worth reseaching.

today in class we had to present our post on a trip to munnich it went very well.

tomarrow i plan to go to the bike shop and look at getting an air delivering device and maybe a new tube.

i need to ask the german prof to fill out a german minor slip or i could ask joe to do it since i trust him more.
