Okay okay! Whew everyone! I just finished most of my nursing school application so now I just have to blog and I'll be caught up with life a little. :) Sorry it's taken so long... Oh and ps, it's been so long since I last posted that I've completely forgotten everything I once knew, and I am yet pressed for time, so this may turn out a little schloppy again. Just enjoy the pics and--- go on your way. :)
Well, the first is a picture for dad. Yes, I think of you in while in Vienna. Your name shows up randomly... This is just on a typical street in austria. In the bottom right corner you see the little round Strassenbahn Haltstelle or streetcar stop. That's where I wait every morning and during the day to take the street car to school and other exciting places. But to the REALLY exciting places, I take the subway. :) By myself. Like I did today when I had a beautiful success finding jeans to buy after like an hour of trying on different pairs. All of them were crap but the ones I bought. And -HA- they're from Canada! They're great. I'm just glad that I can stop wearing skirts all, all the time, as much as I love my pink courds, my only pair of pants that doesn't have a largely compromising hole.

Here are some pics out the window of our bedroom. I'll have to take more pics of the apartment eventually... but for now I think I'm doing pretty well taking bazillions of pictures, like I was advised (cough, Cory :) yay! I like taking pics now )
PS Right now I'm in Burgerking using the free internet, and they are playing my beloved classic rock. Right now they're playing "more than a feeling" and they've played tons of awesome music... All the music in stores around here is in English- from America or Brittain. Funny.
Oh, and also, the other night it was so awesome- I was just getting done being lost since the streetcar I normally take home was out of service and I was trying to find my way home w/o a map- haha. Anyway, I made it to our street, and the reason the streetcar line was out of service was because they had a ton of bands and street vendors selling random Austrian food and fruit all over. I stopped to listen to Dire straits... it was awesome. :)


The streets here are super narrow. Super narrower than in the US anyway.





































Here's a picture of Kasia and I with our Hausfrau (host mom, or grandma really) Frau Crenville. She actually has 3 last names: Folliot, Crenville, and something else I forget. She has an aristocratic backround through her husband; she's currently divorced. It's just me, Kasia and her! But we're all frequently out and about.







Here's a couple pics on the bus to Bratislava, our first Friday in Vienna.


This is Kasia sporting that awesome jacket Miranda never wore. I brought it because the color rocks, and come one, color is the most important thing to plan for when you bring few clothes but many outfits, eh? Men. :) For those of you who don't know me well enough try that last part again. It goes Amen. :)



Dang. I have a ton of pics to post. This takes way too long. I'll have to be very selective and share more later. Sorry everyone. But when it comes it will be good. :)

yay! i love reading your blog. and get this. i had the thought the other day of you returning to us completely transformed, (not like you're not already practically perfect in every way), but like Sabrina style-- all grown up and sophisticated. I'm so excited and can't wait to see you in your new pair of jeans :)
