day 61

day 61

well today was the big day i finnaly got to vienna. its 6:30 and i am tired. the idiots decided to "finish off" all the beer they had left (plus some they bought) so up till 1:00 am thomas was yelling about how he loves space blankets and how loud they are crincling one as loudly as he could. this morning i slamed my fair share of doors at 6:00 am. i got the final packing done and had nothing to do for a while so i just sat in my room. eventually one of the office people came by and said that the 50 euro deposite would cover the oven i was thankfull i was expecting atleast 100 euro. i gave him my key and waited for a van to pick us up to take the luggage to the buss station. then ruth came bye and said that the van would be full so some of us would have to walk our luggage there so i did, i got there first. the bus was a charter bus. and it took alittle more than 2 hours to get to nurnberg then we had a two hour wait till the plane boarded. we boarded and flew to vienna. when we arived thomas deciided to point out every thing he recognized showing how much better he was than all of us. some times i find him help full and othere times i just wanna punch him in the face and say shut up and let me learn on my own!.

found out yesterday at the meeting that hausburgenland II doesn't open till oct 1rst so i have to stay in kirchschlagerhiem. luckily adam pretty much signed out all of our keys there were 6 of us and we got 4 keys 2 rooms are doubles. and also luckily he is a greedy bastard so he took a single leaving a single for me since i'm the only other guy. on the other had the internet doesn't connect to the internet just the local network. since i'm only gonna be here for 3 days i'm not gonna complain i may have access at the office tomarrow. who knows.

i text messaged dad that i was here and now i'm gonna take a nap then figure out were i am then explore the city tomarrow.

there is so much more to type but right now i'm tired so


**********************INTERMISION******************************

ok its tomarrwo morning now (day 62?) ok um....

ok more detail. at the meeting we got maps and a schedual of what we are gonna do for the next week. i have a meeting at the central office at 9:30am and its raining pretty hard so i'm gonna take the train instead of walking like i planed. (gotta find an umbrella). on the bus ride to the airport ruth asked me if it would be ok to have the history course in german since every one else wans the german credits. i said sure i'll probably undestand more than most of the class anyway.

then we checked our luggage (no problems) then i went to the terminal and bought some candy and ate it while i waited (the cashier asked for my boarding pass??) we had to go through the gate then they put us on a bus and drove us to the plane (i was surprised) take was fun the acceleration was faster than any other take off i've ever been on i had apple juice and a chicken sandwich. landing was fun the plane stayed about 20 ft off the runway then sudenly droped onto it. then a bus took us to the terminal and we pcked up our luggage. central hired two of those airport vans and they brought us to the dorms. i got a single hotel room (i love it!!) it has my own shower and every thing. of course i'm only here till monday then they will move me to the haus burgenland II with a german/austrian roommate.

found out that i'm not eligable for a student semester card (train ticket) because i'm not enrolled at the vienna university. so i'll have to buy monthly cards which is alot more. i'm gonna go with a 3 day card at first then try to explore the city more and see if i actualy need the cards or not (it may be cheaper to walk and buy daily cards on rainy days)

there is an internet connection here but it only goes to the local network not the internet. i would complain but i'll only bee here 4 days.

thats all i can remember for now. i have to figure out how to get to my meeting now.
