When in Vienna....

Well today was yet another eventful day in the life of Ben Wright. I have tried to update as much as I can and I'm going to try and force myself to do this everyday or every other day. It is going to be hard but I can do it. Okay so this experience has been a very very eventful one. I will start off with the second hostel that I stayed at. It was more like a hotel but it was considered a hostel. Everything was great until we had to leave and go to our apartments. I realized that my roommates had left me hahaha. So Helmut (student housing man) took me to my apartment so I wouldn't have to pay for a taxi by myself and I had to wait for another hour until everyone had left. It was fine and it worked out. I got to my apartment and saw everyone and saw the amazing apartment and then literally I feel asleep. I didn't have time to go to the grocery store because they had already closed by the time that I wanted to get food and i couldn't get anything until the next day (Saturday.) Saturday we went to the school Palais Corbelli. It was built in the 1680s and everything is pretty much the same. Red marble and marble staircases. Everything is absolutely beautiful. After that I had a housing interview to see if there were any complaints with the landlady about the apartment. After that I went grocery shopping with some girls over by there apartment at Durragasse. It was a 20 minute walk and I left everything at there place because I didn't have time to get back to my apartment and be back for the bus tour in Vienna. We then walked back to the IES Center and had a meeting about the history of Vienna. It was very nice but too much information. The lady focused a lot on the years of everything. After that we went on a 3 hour bus tour around Wien and we all took pictures. Some people feel asleep o the bus because we all got really tired really quickly. After that we then went to a small restaurant called a Heuriger. It is this really nice wine place that sells their own wine and grape juice. The grape juice was amazing and some of the best I have ever had. Some people got really hammered off of the wine which was funny because locals really don't get drunk here. After that I went back to my friend's apartment to get my food and then i went into survival mode to get back to my apartment and I did it. I was so proud of myself because I never thought I could do it. hahaha I am now at my school waiting for a few hours to go on a walking tour downtown in district 1. It will be a lot of fun. AFter that I will be going back to my apartment to practice and then go to bed. I love you all. I PROMISE PICTURES VERY SOON!
