it is already
march, it has already been 7 months and i only have about 2 more to go
it is sad that this year is almost over! i think that i am one of about 10
that would have liked to stay till the very end, till august. but it came
down to booking my flight and there was some complications with what i
would be doing when i returned as far as school goes. so i did the best
thing and booked it for may 22. it seems like it is just around the
corner. in 31 days i will be 18 and also my parents are comming!!!! next
week there is ski week, i am really looking forward to it!! i will be
trying snowboarding!!! then the following week is easter break, followed
by my 2 week vacation with my parents and then as soon as they leave i
have too pack up for euro tour april 27! then by the time that is all over
i have about 1 week and then i will go home. so i have about 10 full days
of school left!! that is pretty exciting, but i will be in austria for 2
more months, but only in vienna for about 3 full weeks or less! i made a
promise that i would come back to experience a real winter, but that might
not be anytime soon. but i said to my host parents "the sooner i go back,
the faster i get a job to earn money, to fly right back to vienna!" there
is only so much you can spend of your parents money before you feel
guilty! and to tell you the truth, my rotary allowence doesn't even cover
the cost of transportation per month, and i believe vienna is a highly
expensive city to live in!! so it is time i go back and study in college
to make a good amount to cover my own living expensies! and to fly back
here of course i have made so many new friends and family here that i just
can't bare to leave! but i did make another promise, whoever comes to
florida, i will personally introduce them to mickey mouse!! they all got
really excited!! mickey is actually a very popular guy over here!!!
ok as you all know i was in london! it is was really cold and i got to see it hale when i was in front of buckingham palace!! i thought that i would be really happy to be able to speak english, but it was almost impossible, i would always ask someone for directions and then i would say thank you, but in german- it was so confusing! i guess i wasn't paying any attention because i know that my mother language is english and i should be able to speak it with out any problem, but there was actually many problems, i got off the plane speaking german with a US passport. customs thought i was suspicious!!! anyways i just so happened to be on the same flight as some friends of mine, also exchange students, and they all spoke spanish. i know i should be able to understand them, but it is impossible, i can't even say one sentence in spanish anymore- it is so sad. anyways they all lost their english, so i didn't feel so stupid. but we ended up speaking german the whole time!! in the youth hostile we stayed in there were some people from germany and they kept on looking at us, thinking we were crazy, for speaking such horrible german all together!! it was really funny. well my personal thought on london is that it is similar to america. the food the people (meaning that the average person didn't weigh about 100 pounds!!) but it was a very expensive trip and i am glad i got the chance to go there! well... i guess i will see you all soon- just
2 more months!! can't wait! |
