Interesting Life....

Today is the first real day that I have sorta felt homesick. Today is a very nasty day here in Wien. It has been snowing and it is really muddy outside too. By the school there is construction going on to build another building. The building is going to look very antique though. There are two main parts of Wien. There is old Wien and new Wien. Old Wien is most of the city and is where I am. New Wien is the part across the Danube Canal and that is where all the skyscrapers are and even the UN building. I can't really tell what they are building though right by the school. Today has been a boring day haha. I know life should not be boring. IM IN VIENNA. WHAT CAN BE BORING ABOUT THAT? Nothing is. It is just one of those days for me. I have an alexander technique lesson at 5:30 my time. The Alexander Technique is a weird thing that helps you position your body to ease pain and also help with posture. It helps performers with breath support and body position. It is pretty cool. I will only have a few lessons of that but one of the best teachers is in Vienna and he charges students hardly anything compared to his real clients and it is a one on one appointment. After that I will be coming back to school to take some dances lessons for the TU ball on Thursday. Apparently the ball is not a bump and grind kind of dance. hahaha some people were a little upset about that, but it is going to be a fairy tale. I will waltz, salsa, and tango I think. I just need to have a crash course in the next two days. After that I'm going to a bar/cafe with a new friend, Alyson. We call each other soulmates because there are so many things that we have in common. It is sorta scary. I mean the main difference is that she is small and short and I'm big and tall haha. After that I'm going in for the night. Tomorrow I will probably go walk up and down Maria Hilfer Strasse which is the main cheap shopping area. I will put more pictures up soon. I need to figure out my camera for some reason when I take pictures they get a little blurry but someone is going to help me with that. It is weird to think that I left 2 weeks ago today. It is cool that I know that I can basically survive on my own. I haven't had to go into survival mode for awhile. On Thursday I will have to because the ball starts at 9 but doesn't end until 5 a.m. I will want to stay the whole time but I don't know if I can because my first voice lesson will be the next day and I want to give a good impression. I have to figure out what I will be doing in two weeks for my break. I don't just want to stay in Vienna but I don't want to go to London yet.....My parents don't want me to go anywhere alone but most of my friends are going on the Germany trip offered by IES but there is a waiting list so I can't go :( It is fine. I just want to explore on my own sort of though. We will see where I will go, but now I'm off to go look around a little bit. Love to all!
