I have class on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Being here makes me realize how much I love the whole Thanksgiving experience. I miss coming home from school and cooking, watching football, seeing my high school friends, seeing my high school friends while watching football, and going over to Anne's house to eat turkey and play games with her family! But alas, I have classes today. However, IES planned a Thanksiving dinner for everybody tonight. It will be fun, but who eats Thanksgiving dinner at 7:30 at night? At least the Macy's Day Parade is on at a decent hour (3pm instead of 9am). I plan on watching it online, haha. And perhaps after dinner I'll go to an American bar and watch the Cowboys play!

So my program ends in exactly a month, and I'm having mixed feelings leaving. I will be really excited to go back home, but I don't want to leave! I love life in Vienna, and I feel like I still have so much to see and do before I go. I've made some really great friends here and I don't want to say goodbye to them! However, I miss Thanksgiving, dishwashers, and real psychology classes a whole lot. For now, I'll try to 'live in the moment,' as they say, and try not to think about the future too much.

Tchüss for now. And happy eating, everyone!

So umm yeah

A few people have informed me (*cough* Anne Lettieri *cough*) that I should update my blog more. I can't say I disagree, seeing how it has been a whole month since I've written anything... oops. I guess time has gotten away from me. It's strange, I only have a few weeks left! A lot has happened in the last month, but I don't have time to write it all down now because I have to go to the train station to pick up Amy!! I'm so happy she's visiting me for my birthday :-). She and I, along with another friend of mine from Vienna, went to Dublin last weekend and had a ghetto-fabulous time, complete with drunk Irishmen and lots of Guinness! More on that later. But for now, I hope you (*cough* Mom *cough*) are satisfied with some more pictures from my Facebook albums.

hopefully this works:

A Weekend in the Country: Wauchau, Klosterneuburg, and WINE TASTING!

Greg's visit and Halloween
