Thursday my 2 week mark for being in Vienna is coming to an end.....Today it was German class then a free hour to get the groups made up for the projects. My group and I are talking about how Vienna is a very international city, it has so many cultures living here. Also about how all the different cultures combined to make Vienna the great city that it is today.
Today after German we all got together for the touring class and jumped on the U-BAN and headed to Schloss Schon Brunn, which is the Schon Brunn Palace. It was huge and so very pretty and the inside just screamed Baroque Rococo. Which means very lavish, over done, bright colors, and gold lot and lots of gold. While at the palace today there was a crew filming a movie there, it was cool to kinda see what goes on in the process. Not sure what it was for or who was in it but it was still neat, I was on a movie set today..hehehe. Schon Brunn is also the place where Mozart gave his 1st concert at the tender age of 6. I got to be in the room that he actually did the performance in, which I think is a uncommon and cool experience. After which we walked around the massive garden area and had lunch, and a small class meeting.
In which I was named the chair of SPOTLIGHTS because the class agreed that it would suit me cause I like to know other peoples info and stories. lol I get to assign people to do a spotlight every week at the class meeting, I think that will be kinda neat.
Lets see nothing to die for funny happened today really, other then me being me and dumb things happening that is. Today getting ready to walk up some stairs I walk into a door knob that, I think had it out for cause it was sticking out like 2 feet. Ok so yes the knob has been there since the 1800's but it should know better then to attack people. So it was really funny at the time but my arm is just ever so tender and slightly bruised. I have a new saying as of breakfast. It goes " I normally don't like morons but for him I will make an exception" Let me now explain. At breakfast Megan, Sara and I were talking about this actor. Megan had food in her mouth in my defense so when she said " I normally don't like blondes" it sounded like morons. Sara and I looked very confused for a few seconds then asked what she had said, upon her reply we laughed for like 10 minutes.
We had some nice but chilly rainy weather today which was a nice change from the hot we have been having. Um....we are going to Melk this Saturday then from there riding bikes to Kremes. I don't know how far that is but it should be fun, but we have to leave at 6:30am to meet the class and the bus. I am really excited it has the largest Abby/Church in the "Western World" so everyone says. It is very Baroque and will close off that chapter of study for class.
Some other random but great news, my host dad has his last round of chemo this morning and does not have to go back to the docter for like 3 weeks. Which is huge because he has been going 3-4 times a week for the past 6 months so we are all very happy for him.
Today was the 1st day that I have been home sick, I have been people sick since day one. Wow that sounds silly, I have missed people form day one but today I missed UT and AZ.
On the 30th it will be a month since I left Provo and almost 2 weeks shy of a month since I left Chandler. Gosh sad day...tear, tear that was a tender moment that I just shared.
Well not much else going on in the life of Megan, sorry it hasn't been to interesting the past few times.
PS I sent post cards last Tuesday so a week and 2 days ago, so when you guys get them could you let me know. I am trying to find out of long the mail takes.

Peace out and much Love
