Two more months... no way!
It feels like it's been forever since I last used the internet.
Well,
it's true. It really has been a long time.
So much has happened the past weekend, I won't be able to tell it all.
It's pretty obvious that I am STILL without internet. Mom tried sending another file, but it didn't work either. Then she suggested that I download it on this program called bittorrent. However, I'd have to then download the program onto someone else's computer. That probably just won't work.
What I'm going to do is wait for my debit card to get here. Once it does, I'll buy the cd (5€), and then, like my mother suggested, just reinstall the file that I need, not all of Windows. She said it's possible, but either way it wouldn't hurt to try.
About the debit card, I should have gotten it already, and now I'm worried that the lady didn't get my email or something else happened to halt the process. I will try calling today to figure it out, because I've alread borrowed a total of 120€ from Katherine and Ilse. I will have to pay them back as soon as I get the card.
The good news has come, though.
Jessica, still not sure whether her tumor is malignant or not, but I was told that the doctor is very sure it isn't and seems to be not worried about it. That's a bit of reliefe.
Ashley found out her baby is going to be a girl. So I'm going to have a nephew and a niece when I get back. I think everyone will start to look at me and question when I'm going to have mine when I get back. Chris? lol.
Speaking of Chris,
he had his birthday last Sunday. I was in Graz, Austria, then, so I wasn't able to send him any real birthday wishes. But he has a card and a picture of his gift coming his way as soon as I get my debit card and internet back up. Lieb' ihn sehr!
My trip this past weekend to Graz was amazing. The weather was perfect, the town is beautiful, and I had so much fun with the others that you could officially deem me, "cheered-up." It took my mind off things, and I started to realize things are getting better. It was the first time I felt in a long time that this place has started to grow on me. I may miss everyone and everything after all.
Oh, and I taught them the, "Skinnamarink" song and the movements along. I had a video made of it and will have it on youtube when it's possible :D.
Pics will also be coming when I get my internet back up. I could use Katherine's computer, but it's not all that important and can wait. So, be on the lookout!
Also, did you all get my postcards? I sent one to Mary and the gang, Chris, Dad, and step mom. I'm going to be sending another round when I get the money, but before I do, I want to make sure that the ones I already sent made it first. I sent them a LONG time ago, so you should have gotten it.
About School:
I just found out I have no literature or grammar class today. That means I have THREE weeks to read those two German novels. I think I can do it within that time, but I also have teaching practice as well :/.
Piano is going great. I feel like I'm learning really fast and should be able to play quite well when I get back.
I just started my photo course, and it's awesome! He lends everyone a really nice camera to take random pics of our surroundings. I have to take 36 pictures from now until monday. I just don't know when I'll have the time since I leave for Innsbruck tomorrow at 6:00 a.m.!
Cooking class is also awesome, I'll have some really good recipes for everyone to try when I get back. Makes it harder to wait!
Also, I've been learning a lot of different skills. Aside from the class, I've learned a lot about cooking. I've also learned how to orientate myself around cities by foot more than before. Include my future photo skills, piano pieces I will know, sewing/braiding/knitting knowledge, and improvement in German and I will say that this trip will surely be well worth it.
I've already begun thinking in German. Can't wait to dream in it :).
Miss you all!
