Oh what a Friday...let me just tell you about the day the sun stopped shining.
Well today school started at 8:30am. Monday-Thursday it starts at 10 am but Friday is earlier and we do not have the tour class. When school was done I came home to see if I could find a grocery store near the house so I could shop without having to ride the train back into town. I ask my host dad and he gave me the name of one near by and I did a google search to try to find it. It took about 30mins to find it on the computer, becuase I didn't know how to spell it. So when that bug and a few others were worked out, I set off to find it. I went alone cause Megan was still downtown so it was me and my little pencil map of hoe to get there. Son after being outside for about 3 minutes it began to storm, I mean ponding rain, wind, and the roar of thunder. BOOOOOOO! As I was getting soaked to the bone the little paper with instuction began to fall apart and the pencil map began to fade. That was no fun because about half way there it was bye bye, so I had to go off the memory of reading it to get the rest of the way there. After getting lost and being a mile off, I almost gave up when I decided to give it one more shot. I re-navigated and ended up finding it about 20 mins later. The short of that part is a 30 min walk took me about an hour. It was much further then I thought and just because it would happen to me, when I was about 5 mins away I noticed it is right next to a train station, which means it is one stop away from my house. lol I got there and did my shopping went to pay and my credit card was not working, ahhhh then the caisher was like we don't visa. Which sucked becuase there was no sign saying that, so I guess that is just something you know. Anyways the total was like 23.00 dollars and I had 25.00 in my purse, so the big guy up stairs for sure had my back. I then decided to be lazy and take the train home as it was still pouring rain.
Got home and got dry and just kinda relaxed for a little bit. Megan then came home and since the rain had stopped we went downtown and did some souviner shopping, well the no rain lasted until we got off the train. It was like time I went inside it stopped but the minute I went outside the storm rolled back in. Good thing I like the rain , but man the wind was artic cold.
Coming back from shopping Megan and I were sitting on the train when we both noticed this man staring at us. I don't mean a causul glance I mean like wow that turkey dinner looks good and I'm starving kind of staring. We have a 20 minute or so train ride which today meant a 2o min or so uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach. I mean this dude did not blink or move from his spot the entire time, it was like he was a creepy statue just looking at you. We both felt very very very uncomfortable with the situation. When it cam time for us to get off we noticed it was also his stop. For about 2 minutes we thought about getting off at the next stop and the back-tracking home, I mean it was scary bad. The kinda time you wish you had a big strong man with you but no. It was just us 2 young blonde foreigners that clearly had no one else with them. We waited form him to get off and after which we did as well. Luckily he went one way and we went the other. No worries guys he was headed in theother direction before we got off the train. It was just a very odd experience. We both thought it likely he may want to eat us. I mean guys he had the freakin coon eye like no one I have ever seen before, this is the kind of guy you see on CSI. And not as a witness but the one being investigated. So clearly we made it home safe and yes mom the doors are locked. He did not follow us home becuse we checked multiple times. So to celebrate our new friend we went to McDonalds for dinner the came home and ate the fatty food in bliss.
Also today our host family went to Italy so as of Sunday when the other girls leave we have a 3 story house all to oursleves. YIPPPPEEEEE! no there will be no house parties but whatev. We get to take care of the garden and the mail and all that groooovy stuff. It should be fun to run a Vienna household for a week or so. Yes about 3 hours after they left we went to explore the rest of the house, we were good we touch nothing but a toliet, because while the tour was going I had to pee. But I left just the way I found it. I am a good house guest.
Oh today in class I made the funny but mean teacher laugh!!!!!!! This is a HUGE deal for he never laughs at us when we make a funny, he only laughs when he makes funnies at us, and about us. I had water in my mouth when he said something and I gave him a look and tried to say what with my mouth full, so appropriate I know. When he did not understand the clear facial expression I had to explain that, "this is my what face" because I did not understand what he had said. He got a huge smile and I said "Go on laugh you know it's funny, come on you know I'm funny. Just give in everyone else has." he replied "I don't laugh" Then I said "Oh yes you do you think I'm funny and your smiling" Then the class agreed that it was a 1st time and we all laughed at him, it was a great moment. After that class went so great.
So it's on to the weekend which will be filled with a class trip that includes a 20 mile bike ride. Of course the best part all the homework due Tuesday, cause Monday is a holiday. I think on Monday we are either going to a lake/beach area or a under ground lake thing. The beach is supposed to be great and the under lake is the largest in Europe.
It should be a great weekend.

I love you all so much and miss you tons <3
