Updates... finally

Sorry this has taken me so long to write. I haven't really had that much time though...

My flights from San Antonio and DC went well. I actually slept most of the way to Vienna so I didn't feel that horrible when I arrived. I was met at the airport by my host father, club Counselor, club President, and her daughter. My host mother was still at home setting up for a breakfast that they were having for my arrival. Later that afternoon I went into town to set up my bank account and register with the city. So I think that means that I am an Austrian for the coming year because they said I still have to de-register when I leave! But I don't know...
On Saturday my host parents took me to a small village about five minutes away to see an Austrian folk group perform for the evening. Apparently they were really funny, unfortunately I couldn't understand anything. However there was one point when they performed in English, but the accent was a mess!

Right now I am in Altmünster for my German language course. (That's why I haven't updated in forever). I have been here for a week so far and I'll be here another week trying to learn as much German as I possibly can. I've met some amazing people and I know without a doubt that some of these other students will be my friends forever after this year. I have to go though because there is only one computer and other students are waiting. I'll write more when I get back to my host family's house.
