Mental Break is OVER!

So I have been telling myself to kick my butt and get back on board with blogging. Please forgive me and let me use the excuse of needing a personal mental break for a while. School is getting harder and I know I only have one class and that is German, but excuse me, when one class is 3 hours long and then you get stuck with homework for 2 more hours you can only deal with so much.

In my class of 25 people and a room that is not much larger than my bedroom, my group of girlfriends from last semester and I met a new girl who has only been in Vienna for a few weeks and is super sweet. We are now taking her under our wings and showing her around a bit when I say showing her around I mean taking her to places where we know the food is the best. Like today after class, we had to run to Maria hilfe strasse and one of my friends knew of the best Falafal in the city. Maschu Maschu not only did they have fantasic falafal (which was GREEN!) they also had some really good lemonade. I am looking foward to my next visit and possiably getting my boyfriend to try it as well. It was really tasty and for a person on a budget it was not too expensive.

This Sunday the girls are coming to my apartment for a Girls Night of Pizza and chit chat! I am very excited since this will be my first guests that I will have had (not including family) so I am cleaning as if there was no tomorrow. I also finally got rid of my christmas tree last night....Yes, I do know that is March.

Today was the first day where it was not Sunny and warm but rather colder than the past days and with a light drizzle. I have truely enjoyed the few days of warmer weather! I even wore a tank-top one day with jeans of course, so I do hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel. This Florida Girl is ready for some Sunshine once more.

Hope everyone has had a good week!

Job Hunting in Vienna as a Student.

 If you either are trying to find a job in Vienna as a student that holds a Passport that it not within the European Union, search no more, you have found a place that will help you figure out the ins and outs of getting a job!  Most people studying abroad will only study for a semester and that is easier to do than doing your whole academic career abroad. Simply put, your expenses are going to be somewhat easy to save up for, or easy on your parents to pay.  But once you take the step into staying longer finances can start to dry up quickly. Yes, I am full aware that it is the same for any other college student that living off of Ramen and peanut butter is the norm. But for the most part you have a scholarship, a grant, or financial aid, which can ease the burden.  Here in Vienna I have not really found many scholarships and the ones I do find I never am eligable since I am not a citizen, or I am not a citizen of a poor country.  Studying abroad though can be the same or someti

Blog Break is OVER!

So for the past month this is how I have been feeling since the beginning of this month was my BIG German exam. If you know me you would know how I am not the best test taking person and considering that this was the last German test I had to take which would give me the green light for being able to finish my pre-studies and the proficency the Universtiy is wanting to see that I have. So I was more than stressed out and for about a good month of non-stop studying for the test and practising my writing in German. I was more than happy when the test had ended and took a break from German and just enjoying not having to study for the test. Well two weeks after the test would I and my other peers be able to see our results, the night after my test I had nightmares and dreams about the test. Dreaming about what I had written and that it was utterly false and then dreaming up of a better paper. So I was just counting the days down for the results since half of the test I found to be a bit

Here's to the New Year and New Beginnings!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday Season and a good New Year.  I to be honest have been thinking for over a year about starting up blogging again, and after reviewing recent comments and knowing that people are still coming on to my blog it made me want to start again. For a quick update about how I am doing and where in the world I am. I am still in Vienna.  I am older, 22 to be exact. Yikes! I don't feel 22! In one of my last posts I think I mentioned something about my German exam. Well, I have not only finished all my pre study lectures the Uni enforced me to complete before I could start my actual BA. Thank goodness that is all over and I have already finished my first semester at the Uni! Which feels like such an accomplishment and also a relief to finally say that I am a regular College student.  I look at the people I know back in Florida and see a lot of them finishing there degrees, or close to being finished. HECK! A lot of people I know are MARRIED! Then
