Hi all!
I've only been back a few days already, and have spent most of my time unpacking, and getting used to the time change. I'm wide awake now, but still getting over a terrible cough (there was a huge rainstorm in Vienna that I was completely unprepared for). Hopefully I'll be over it by pre-orientation time.
The trip was amazing! I can't believe what a range of places I saw! I went from Dublin to Istanbul, from Monaco to Transylvania. I even saw places that most Americans don't even know about: Ohrid, Macedonia, a gorgeous lake resort town, the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria or the Gargano Peninsula in Italy (that's on the "spur" of the boot). I was even in Italy when they won the World Cup! I was in this town in Tuscany called San Gimignano, and they had a big projector screen in the town square and just about everyone in the town was watching the game there. The whole square went wild when Italy won! I don't think we get nearly that crazy over baseball!
But now, it is back to reality. Pre-orientation starts on August 29th. Neither pre-orientation nor orientation sound very exciting but atleast I might get a peak at my dorm room.
P.S Andrea, I got your letter and friended your Smithie friend. I don't have any questions at the moment, but I will ask her if any come to me!
