Hmm, not sure if that worked.
So, all of the websites here are in german. SO, and thiought I published a blog yesterday, but I may have just accidentally erased it. So, here it is then. My second first blog from Vienna. The thing is here, that EVERYTHING is drastically different. And, I know everyone says that Germans and Austrians are really efficient and hard working....not so much my experience. It seems to me that NO ONE has it together here. everything is all over the place and does not make sense. Signing up for my classes here is the biggest chore ever. I had to spend like an hour running around the school today to get all checked in, and the only reason it took just an hour is becasue I have become really grood friends with two amazing Turks. Chem and Bashek(thre is another sylable in there somewhere, but after 5 minutes of coaching she decided I could not pronounce her name properly) are freaking sweet, and they speak fluent english, which makes my life much easier. Chem lives on my floor. They seems as confused by our new environment than I at some times, but they can speak some german and are more familiar with some adspects of the culture here. Other than that, I have made a lot of observations, but I am not sure what matters and what does not really. My first reaction to everything here was fear, everything was very menacing. But now, it is simply ambivalent. No one cares. I think I could probably get hit by a car in broad daylight, and everyone would stare, and maybe someone would call an ambulence. Also, they follow the rules to a T here. Almost no j-walking. Everyone minds their own business, and everything is at the upmost level of security. Except for my ghetto dorm, which looks just like the aopartment complex from A clockwork Orange. My room is like a closet, with paper thin walls, and they lied about having internet access. Fucking assholes. It is like, no one really intends to make good on thri promises. It goes along with the whole ambivalent you can rot in hell for all I care attitude. Things are hard, but I am adapting. I just hope that this extreme challenge starts getting more fun before much longer. Wish me luck, becasue I need it
