| well where to start, i
have to make this quick because i am at school. my host brother said that
i must have downloaded some sort of virus on the computer so now it
doesn't work!! well i am having fun in wien. the language is going
well, with a little help from my abend deutschkurs!! i am starting
to think things in german and sometimes i don't even notice it.
well i took an english test the other day and i thought it was really easy and when i got it back my teacher wrote on the top "were you even thinking when you wrote this!?!" apparently i spelled almost every other word wrong! i knew maybe one or two were misspelled but not that many! well i don't care i know i know english and at least i can still speak it, for now at least. i made chocolate chip cookies for my host family and my counselor, they ate all 4 dozen of them!! they turned out good considering there were no chocolate chip, but i always seem to manage. it was funny because they asked me what shape they were going to be and i was shocked that they didn't know anything about cookies, having vienna being that sweet capital of the world!! well last weekend i attended a "ball" it wasn't a dance it was a ball. it was in this huge castle and it reminded me of Cinderella! i walked in a room and everyone was dancing waltz. some guy from school came up to me and he asked me to dance, so of course i tried it, but i embarrassed myself! all austrians take a dance class at the age of 15 and i am 17 and i don't know one dance step. he was 17 too, and he tried to teach me but everyone was just flowing so gracefully and it felt like i was hopping around in circles!! so this monday i attended a free dance lesson, so in november i wont be that embarrassed to dance! this coming weekend is the vienna weekend so all 75 exchange students are coming to vienna and we are going to take a grand tour. that following week there is no school for 10 days so i am hoping that i could go see my lovely friend emilia (former exchange student), but she just said that she is flying back to florida- so who knows what i will do. i am ready to travel around europe, that is for sure. well time is running out. one last note: i attended the rotary
meeting and boy is that a nice club. they meet at hotel bristol
downtown and lunch is catered!! it was pretty cool. i gave a little
speech about myself, half in english half in german- they were all
laughing so i know they appreciated it. i hope all is well in
florida- take care. |
