Good Afternoon, or in the words of Austrians - and other German speakers, Guten Abend!
It is a cloudy day here in Austria... no more sun :-( im so sad lol.. but today was my last day dealing with German on an academic level! YAY we had our placement/final tests at 10 and then at 12 15 we had a short tour of the buildings where our classes will be held for the semester. It was really cool. I have a few classes in the normal Akademistrasse but the rst of my classes are in various spots around town so on Mon I will prob go and search for my classes. otherwise on Tues since I only have one class :-) but otherwise it was all good today. At least so far. I am just chillin right now, and I realized after Sunday this will no longer be a part of my life lol... smh maybe I shouldnt have been so anxious for classes to start lol..but I cant lie I am kind of excited for classes to start and to get into the history classes especially :-) soo I took about a 10 min break from typing this because I tried Nutella for the 1st time today, and already I got cravings... SO i HAD TO GET MY BREAD AND NUTELLA INNN lol I did take a risk buying a big jar of it before trying it but it was WELL worth it... Nutella is AMAZING! lol but back to the subject.. i am feeling more and more at ease here.. I just want to get to the point like everyone else where they are jsut so taken with this city and really love it.. I am not there but I do love the views I get to c here... they are SO breathtaking... its amazing! but that is that otherwise still no homesickness.. I feel like im here for school finally so its all gud lol.. and - I never finished and I don't remember my train of thought so... NEXT BLOG

Havin Fun
Hello World!
Good Morning. Austria is great. I am really enjoying myself out here. Valentine's Day was cute.. since i'm not in the US Justin wrote me a poem that was really good. and I am going to print it out or something... it was really nice. But otherwise I just relaxed.. Monday we had academic orientation and went on a sleigh ride in Filzmoos. The sleigh ride was amazing. I had sooo much fun. What they did was they took us on a ride up to the cabin where we were eating and the horses and the scenery was just absolutely gorgeous. The alps are AMAZING to look at. I have a few pictures, and it looks so fake on pictures, but it looks even more fake in person; it is almost as if nothing should be that beautiful in person. It was absolutely breathtaking. I would love to go back up there just for the views that I got to see. No matter how long I've been here, I still cant get over the fact that this is real and that im really here! it is amazing to me. I have never had an experience like this. But anyways, we had a lunch there with gulach soup and some type of sweet cake. O MY GOSH the soup and desert were AMAZING! that was some good food, and mind you I have had some great food in my lifetiime, but that was SO GOOD. I f I ever come back to Austria, that will be one of my first stops lol. On Tuesday it was just a normal day, just went to German class and Tuesday was also Carnaval, but it is not the CArnaval I am used to like in the Carribbean, it is when the locals dress up in various costumes, and at night they drink - if they are legal of course. So tuesday night we went to O'Malleys and to Shamrock's which are two pubs right across from the Linzergasse that most of the kids go to. O'Malleys was way to crowded and smoke filled so we ended up hanging at Shamrocks which was still cool. We played :never have I ever" and learned a few things about our fellow classmates lol..it was only girls so it was a-okay. the girls I went with were my roommate Hanna, my suitmates Ileana and Megan, Ana, Erika, and ANOTHER GIRL WHOSE NAME i ALWAYS forget lol. but regardles of it, we all had a lot of fun. So we decided Tues that on Fri we will have a girls nnight in and we will watch movies and have some wine, I'm excited, I think we will have so much fun this semester together. I am glad i have finally found my little "group" to hang with. and last night did the same thing as usual German class, but I had the early class SO i had the whole day to enjoy, and more hours of sunlight lol.. which are very precious here lol... so megan and I went and had a kabab for lunch, those are REALLY good too, and I filled out all my info for class registration, which I have to do in a few minutes and I made my class schedule - that is ridiculous... on Mondays I have 2 classes from 2-330 and 6-730 on tues. i have one class, from 515 to 645.. now Wed is my HELL DAY it is really ridiculous I am in class from 830 am to 10 am and then from 12 til 7 pm. It is really bad... I dunno how I am going to do this.,,, I will have to talk with Ms. Ingrid about this. Also on Thurs I have one class at 12 until 130.. and no classes on fri so besides wed its not a bad schedule at ALL. And last night Megan and I decided we will be doing a nightly wak/run to get into shape and stay in shape. So that will help with my goal to lose 10 lbs while I am here. Plus on top of that We can take sports classes and I am looking at Pilates, body shaping and stretching, and a Zumba and Latin workout class. So between those once a week, the walking around here and the walking at night, those ten pounds should shed quickly lol. or at least I hope so, but I'm logging off for now, update you later

the end of the first week
Happy Valentines Day all!
Today is the official end to my first week in Salzburg. It has been a crazy ride here. I got into Salzburg around 6om and the events that foilowed have already shaped me in a different manner. I am learning new things about myself on a daily basis, and the people around me. It is a truly eye opening experience. Today I just plan on being lazy and mozying around. I am going to finish putting my things away, and fix my hair - it is looking rough lol, and just enjoying today. Taking it slow - something I have yet to do here. I also think all the girls are going out for a Vday diner and have a just relaxing evening. SO yesterday wa rally fun, we went on the Sound of Music Tour which gave is a bird's eye view of Salzburg. It was AMAZING! I had such a good time. We came back from the tour with great pictures... everything looked beautiful with the snow, so I really cant wait to go back on the tour myself and see what the town looks like in the spring time..it should be interesting. But fter that I came back to my room and chatted with Justin for like 3 hours i think, his birthday was yesterday, Feb 13, and I wanted to tlk with him as if I was there so he wouldn't feel like I was so far away. That was cool. I thoughtg it would make me sad, but now I dont really feel any emotions like yearnings, shall I say when I speak to him, this is becoming normal. lol. and I also watched some of the Olympics and me, Emma, Rachel, Juliana, Megan, Hanna, Will, Erika and Ileana, Megans roommate, all went to Hotel Stein for some coffee and treats. That was cool too. The Hotel is very modern and yet it feels like I'm in the 70's lol.. Austria is definately 10 years behind when it comes to some decor and especially internet etc. But i am starting to get accustomed to it. What else I thought was cool was the view from the Terrace of Hotel Stein. It was O SO BEAUTIFUL you can see the steeple's of University church, and basically the top of high buildings in the town, with snow covered roofs, a real treat for the eyes.
When it comes to how I feel everyday, it gets progressively better, but sometimes I get that feeling and I am now trying to learn how to deal with it and get happy again, or at least take my mind off of it... and not resort to calling mommy and daddy every time something goes wrong.. I talk to them everyday which is normal and fine, but I want to learn how to not use them as my crutch which i've notived I do a lot. With that being said, it makes me see that one of the things I want to accomplish while I am here is not only continue finding out who Ashley is but find out what makes me the person who I am and what are my crutches. Not saying that my support system cant be there and is hindering me, but I need to learn how to separate supportivness from crutchs. I also want to try adn expose mytself to much more than i am used to. I already am. For example I just sat in one of the girls rooms yesterday and just chatted and hung out with them, it was so much fun and I learned some new things, we talked about sororities and stuff but it was still an experience, and I learned new things about these young ladies. And they are all sweet hearts! but I will continue this later. I am going to finish the last little unpacking which I have :-)

thurs n friday - week1
Dear Blog
So yestewrday was another good day. I didnt have any rea cravings and kept busy to keep my mind off things. Daddy's procedure went fine, so that also relieved some stress. The only thing about thurs was that 1 - I almost got hit by a car.. lol but no like literally... a car was about i'd say 9 inches - maybe less from me lol. but i also went to my class 2 hrs early, sooo i woke my parents up and they tlkd 2 me for the few hrs... it was good. I also went to McDonalds with one of the girls in my dorm, my neighbor actually, Megan and as im writing this, my roommate is snoring... smh lol i think its hilarious though. But anyway... Its my Boyfriends birthday on this side of town... well the world lol and I'm impatiently - semi - waiting up 4 him, despite the fact that im exhausted lol (imma gr8 girlfriend lol). But back to Austria lol.. I went and had another talk with the director and even she saw an improvement. She said with my attitude ill make it just fine here and I will really learn to enjoy and love it here... I cant wait! lets see, what else lol... yesterday I did make dinner so I ate for the first time for real in like 3 days.. not just a piece of bread... I made some spaghetti noodles and some bomb behind beef... it wa great 0 no tomato sauce of course because i didnt buy any lol... but it was still good. German class wasnt so bad either, each day i understand a little but more and it feels good :-) ...
Friday...
Now today was a different story from yesterday. I woke up this morning and had that feeling again.. I was kind of not wanting to get out of bed but was like I have a class, can't do that. which kind of really sucks lol.. But its all good... anyway, I had called my parents right before i left out the door and explained what was going on in my head. I know I wa being childish and taking the easy way out but at this point I was thinking who wouldnt want to. But at the same time I have something to do here and people to see, places to go... I couldnt risk not being here. plus its expensive for me to be here, and also i would be behind a semester... i cant afford that at all!! So i will be sticking it out and I think it will get better... plus I have AMAZING trips I want to do and they're going to be gr8 so I cant wait for those :-) But we went out to the Republic tonight... its a "club out here... i gotta admit, though it wa extremely different... it was realli cool lol... but too much ssmoking is done in Europe so I cant really enjoy myself the way that i want to which is kinf of sad in actuality :-( but the music that they played intheir was just techno, but the people who were thier well the Austrians, they cant dance,.. and they dance so wierd.. there is no dubbing and every1 dances to their own beat and does their own thing in such a wierd way you just cant help but look because its so funni lol. But German class was ok and I had a quiz today... which i prob bombed that smh too much.. but this evening was an overall good night and my day got progressively better so its all good :-), but im about to tlk to my boo ... Nite, well Mornin!

Wednsday, Feb. 10 2010
Hello! Salzburg was good today... this is the most fun i've had since I was in London, or maybe even since i left the states... but it also started snowing here today... I havent been in this much snow in like a really long time, and im just longing for the warm sunshine lol... but I realli put forth an effort of like 500 plus... I even chatted with my room mate and her friend... she is kinda opening up.. im starting to feel like part of the group. I do miss every1 at home, but today it felt like how it should ... when i tlked to my best friend i realli wasnt craving to tlk to her how i have been everyone else when i first got here. so i would say that is a lot of progress on my part. i am just realli wanting to experience everything and make the best of it. I want to have a really positive outlok on this whole experience when i eave in May and this is the start of something big for me. I really am hoping I can keep up this mentality. It feels really good. I weven talked to my paretns without shedding tears. I actualy felt like old times, all of us on the phone crackin jokes and stuff. it was really nice for me. I just want to tak to my sister. Havent realli talked to her yet, so thats the next person, besides my grandmothers who i need to tlk to to make this right.
German class wasnt that bad today, it went by kinda fast and i actually participated and asked questions, realli tried to get a grasp of everything. I am starting to feel more a member of the group day by day and activity by actiivty. and who knows I just may find my "group" soon. I am sooo ready to find them though because i am SO ready to plan my spring break trip lol.
Spring break is like huge for me. I want to go to Greece on week and Barcelona the week before. we have a two week vacation. But the night wasnt bad @ all... just chillin now... but im being distracted tlkn 2 every1 @ home so 4 now ill say PEACEEE lol

1st of many - the first 5 days compiled
hello readers
this is my fifth day abroad and i'm a little homesick.. :-( Im going to just quickly recap my experience in London so far and move on from there. First let me introduce myself, i am a 19 yr ld sophomore in Salzburg, Austria - best known for its hometown "hero" Wolfgang Mozart. They also have the family in the sound of music who were realli from here o thank for their increased status for the movie - sound of music - was filmed here. Now i flew out to London and we spent the weekend in London. It was great.. felt a lot like the US to me- which is prob why i wasnt home sick lol - and all but it was all still good. we went to so many different places and visited so many sites its was realli cool. we stayed at a prettty nice hotel and the staff there was amazing.. they r what every hotel staff should be like. but we also traveled independently and i went to Kew Gardens - 4 all the NY 'rs THE ny kg is almost an EXACT replica lol.. some differences but house styles and stuff r the same. they have a great winery and a great bakery plae with the richest chocolate cupcakes you will ever have in your life!!! overall London was a great trip. The flight to salzburg we took from london to munich and whn i tell u ive never slept in a plane but was knocked out on this fluight - it was a great flight. we landed in munich and took the bus from Munich to Salzburg... it was a 2 hr drive about and had some cool sites. we got to salzburg at night and this is a beautiful time ..esp at night.. their is a fortress here adn its to die for the sightsl... so beautifl. yesterday was an ok day, but thats when i got my first taste of homesickness.. it stoopped pretty early and everything was ok. it was only bad todday. but yesterday i ran some errands with a group member, who also just happens to be homesick. she is a sweetheart tho. realli cool. now my roomie i duno how i feel yet'. i think we have some things to work out but i have to chat with her and c where her hea is at beecause we havent reai done so... so that should be interesting. As of right now nothing to too unbearable but imma just do what it do lol. now today i just totally broke down when wwe went on the library tour and have been inside my room all day.. i tlked to mommy and daddy but i feel a lil better now. im kind of dissappointed in myself for not being a stronger person, but at the same time im proud that i havent done anything REALLI stupid yet. the decisions and actions i take while im here will influence me for the rest of my life and i realli just want to make the best of this... ill finish this later im going to be outgoing and met up with some students at omalleys... shoudl be fun :-) - 854
i had soo much fun with the group tonight... I had some wine it was good. The kids are funny too. but im going to talk to my ppls n go to sleep - night
