One More Week of Classes and One Week of Finals..

Hallo jedermann, I cannot believe that April has flown by as quickly as it has. Only one more week of classes and then finals. I am also in the midst of moving out of my apartment and moving back home. Let's just say that one of my roommates for the past 7 months has not been the nicest person out there. I never knew just how much my one room could hold. I've got so many boxes and bags. It makes me wonder how I am ever going to pack for Austria. What should I pack? What do I need? How do I bring enough clothes for all the seasons? What will I need for my room? I just cannot fathom how I will decide all of this. Well I've got some time to plan haha.


A lot of planning has also been happening for my upcoming time abroad. I found out that I need an Aufenhaltsbewilligung or Temporary Residence Permit. On the plus side to all the paperwork I get to take a trip to Chicago, which I've never visited. Anybody have a suggestion of what to see while in Chicago? I'm also in the midst of planning a trip to NYC to visit a friend. I'm going to be traveling so much this summer it's great! Back to studying abroad, we were given our options for dorms yesterday. I am so excited and can't wait to see who I'll be living with. Hopefully they won't be like one of my current roommates. I can only hope. 


Well I must be off to work, which I have one more shift after today :-D


Hat ein schönes Wochenende und Ostern.

Meetings, Meetings, and More Meetings

Well the end of the school year quickly approaching and I can't wait for it to get here! Since the end of the year is coming so much is going on with the study abroad program. I have a meeting tonight that is supposed to "Prepare" us for the experience. I'm not entirely sure a meeting can prepare somebody for living in a new place and culture for that matter. It's also scholarship award season! I won a $1000 scholarship! I get $500 a semester while abroad. That'll almost pay for a one way plane ticket.

I know this is an incredibly short post but I've got to run to this meeting!!
