What a day!

So today was a good day, walked around the city a bit and just enjoyed the beautiful day.
It was the perfect type of winter days I could live with. Of course I have been hearing so much about the Wiener Eistraum and have been wanting to go pretty bad since being the girl from South Florida I haven't EVER ice skated outside. So I made a visit over to the Rathaus and watched the little kids and people ice skate on this fairly large ice skating rink.

I also found something that I have been looking for, for the past.....8 MONTHS! I really wasn't hungry since I had a yummy lunch at a small resturant called Spirlia (I believe that is how they spelt it) anyways take the 13A from Mariahilfestaße direction Alser Straße and you will find it. Now it was good and had a nice atmosphere, but slightly on the expensive side for a portion of food that isn't so grand. Other than that it certain had a good atmosphere if you are a student it was packed with other students taking their lunch break.

So now...you have to just take a wild guess what I found. Don't look ahead!  It is is also pretty official that people here in Vienna think I am one of those crazy people who has other voices in their head. :)  But seriously, when you see someone taking a picture of themselves laughing ang they are holding food in their hands how wierd is that? I mean I know myself, I would think this person is really happy to have whatever it is they are having. I guess that is not a normal thought process here, or atleast for the man that was giving me dirty stares and constantly turning his head atleast 4 times back at me. That could have been though since when I realized someone was behind me I started to burst out laughing and freaked him out just a wee bit. Anyways I tried to find a silent street so no one would really see me taking pictures of myself with this baby.....


At last! At last Mr. Bagel we meet again, even though you are not toasted and have no cream cheese on you are the deffinition of pure sweet happiness. It is pretty sad when a BAGEL makes your day. I never thought I would miss bagels so much until I moved here. Back home we have a resturant that is dedicated to mornings and just serving coffee and bagels in all different sortiments. My favorite bagels are pumpernickel, everything, and in October pumkin. With either onion and chive cream cheese, plain, honey nut, or pumkin to go with the pumkin bagels.  Does anyone else share this deep passionate love for bagels?


For the record there are only a few things I am truely looking foward to when going back home to Florida this Summer with the boyfriend. Those things are re-uniting with my dog Marabelle, seeing family again, seeing my friends, going to the Kava bar, shopping my butt of since for me everything here is outrageously expensive and people here are gorgeously dressed and only having three suitcases filled with my whole life in them I kidof had forget about fashion and think a little bit more practical.

This weekend my goals are: going to either IKEA or KIKA to buy some more jars to put my beads in, cleaning my apartment, painting, beading since I lately feel inspired to be creative and possiably doing some cooking and baking..oh and lets not forget blogging more!

My boyfriend's father tonight made the most yummy potato gulasch so that put me into a stew mood, or something possiably that reminds anyone of home or their grandma.

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 c...

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 MARR...
