TIME FLIES

MY EXCHANGE IS OVER 1/4 !!!

Yeah that is about half as freaked out as I feel about it ... I really really really can not believe how fast time is going and I really did think if I ever blink again my year will be over.  I really am not sure what to write about today but felt as today (ok, really yesterday) marks 3 MONTHS of me being in Austria a post is necessary. So I guess I will give you a little bit of my reality. 

For the most part every day here is the same. 
Here is my schedule:

  • Wake Up-6: 30
  • Get out of bed- 6:45
  • Eat Breakfast- 6: 55-7: 05
  • Brush Teeth / Throw books for the day into my Backpack- 7: 05-7: 15
  • Drive to the Train-7: 15-?
  • Train to School- 7:24
  • Tram Ride 7:30
  • School- 8: 00-2: 00 (average somedays as late as 6) 
Classes Vary day to day but include a wide variety of subject none of which I am required to do the work for (ok I do all of the work for art, gym, and English) I have MANY pauses in my school day as follows: Monday-Tuesday 1 Hour 2 Hours-Wednesday-3 hours. Thursday-Friday-none and 4 HOURS. 

  • Get home (between 1:00 and 6:30)
  • Dinner / lunch (Usually Consisting of Schnitzel Which is one of the most delicious things ever, knodel, or someother Austrian specialty)
  • Read / Youtube / Netflix Whenever I finish eating-8: 00 
  • At Which Point I go to bed. Occasionally if I eat early in the day I eat some bread with cheese in the evening and sometimes not. 
  • Repeated every Monday-Friday (with the exception of days with a Rotary trip)
All of this routine can be boring and repetitive and even a little lonely sometimes. HOWEVER I dont feel bored, or lonely or trapped in routine, instead of feeling negative feelings; I feel EXTREMELY blessed! Every morning I wake up in Austria is a day I am excited to have on everyday adventure and I am ready to enjoy. Because like I said before my time here is fleeting and I need to enjoy every minute of it.
