Hey Everyone!
Yeah I know I haven't blogged in like a month, sorry. I will try I swear. So important things that have happened in the last month.....hmm..... I went ice skating in front of the Rathaus, a government building here in Vienna (Picture on the left). My feet were killing me and I couldn't even skate that well :( but it was fun :) I have lost my fear of cooking and that happened when I made tacos for my roommate, Grace, and my friend Daniele. So now I cook depending on what I have in the fridge. I understand a lot more German!
Oh yeah and I started class. All my classes are in German. I am taking a Literature course, EU Politics and Culture class, Language and Grammar class, Austrian History class, and Business German. Some of you that know me are probably asking yourselves "why is she taking business German?" Its ok I ask myself the same question. Honestly, I was too lazy to look for another class and this class counts for the minor so I took it. It's like a lab. It's three hours long! I know I've had orgo lab which is 4 hours long, but still that's lab. Anyway I can understand most of what goes on in all my classes except history. Now I understand like 70% of all my other classes but in history I'm lucky if i understand 1-2%. The professor speaks so fast and I can't read, write, and listen at the same time in German. My hope is that by the end of the semester I will be able to understand him. And this is graffiti that I found while walking around with my friend Yanbin. So far this picture is one of my favorites in Vienna. It means "No Man is Illegal," which I also take to mean no one is illegal.
I'll write more about my accidents due to language misunderstandings later.
Bye!
