FINALLY!




Me at the Life Ball 2011
I just want to start off with saying that for the past days Blogger has been funny and would not let me log in. So after changing my password 4 times finally got it to work. So this is a pretty late post, but better than nothing no?


Last weekend was a really good and busy weekend, on Friday after my German class I went to go meet up with Vienna Expats at Sand in the City. Where I met some very lovely people and got some good tips as well.

Saturday I went out with some of my German classmates/friends to Pure Living Bakery since it is a bakery selling Pancakes, bagels, waffels and cheesecakes. Now what I do want to say is that we had some troubles finding the bakery, and when we got there they had a lovely relaxing garden set up where you can sit and enjoy the weather we have been having lately. It is self-service and a bit over priced. My one girlfriend really wished for pancakes and since we knew there was pancakes on the menu we thought we would order them after our bagel sandwhiches. Well, the bagel sandwhich was almost 5 euros and the 5 pancakes they were offering was around 7 euros. We decided that 7 euros is certainly not worth 5 pancakes since I actually know how to make them from scratch. After eating our sandwhiches we left and headed towards an Aida and there had some coffee and cake. The bakery is very close to Schönbrunn so if you are ever craving waffels or bagels and don't mind paying a pretty penny, it is right around the corner.

Later that day we knew the Life Ball was going on at the Rathaus, so we made our way over there to see what it all was about, and getting a better idea how Life Ball is since we have heard about it in class, and also that week it was what all the local papers talked about. We certainly had fun is what I can say at the least.




Now I am looking foward to the upcoming weekend that is going to be just as busy as last weekend. I also am looking foward to when I am sitting on a plane back to the States. Since right now I am kindof slightly stressed with not only learning all that I can in my class but also thinking about the final exams, working on my writing in German since it is well....pretty bad. When the test is over not only will I be so happy, but then also having to collect all the correct paper works from schools and other updated documents and then starting the renewing process of my Student visa. Oh and have I mentioned also planning a trip to the states and two different trips in the States as well. Yes, it is a bit overloaded right now. It would be nice if there was a way to spread it out and not have everything all at the same time, so when I get in a mood of feeling like I have nothing to do here and telling myself I need to get busy or find a job, I would have this all spread out so I can work at it.

After my trip to the states I will start to really look at getting more active and possiably finding some work just to get some income started.

Well that is about it for now. I have some good ideas for some new posts so hopefully in between the madness, I can get them posted. Have a great day!

Job Hunting in Vienna as a Student.

Image
 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!

Image
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
