I have been around the city a couple times now and always see something different. There was a large Thanksgiving festival by the National Library today. They had a lot of booths that represented many different regions around Austria. They had bands and dancers and lederhosen. It was very interesting. I also was able to go to Rapid Wien soccer match. It opened my eyes to soccer in Austria. The fans reminded me of Chicago Cub fans in that they are dedicated to their team.... even if they aren't that good. I also moved in my house that I will be staying at for three months. My lovely roommate is Julie and our room is an amazing size for two. We have two full beds, a desk, two "study chairs" (Julie's words... not mine), a good sized bookcase, and a wardrobe. Yes... all my stuff fits into an alotted area. We are living right by the Kanal and Prater. It seems like a great area. And the second night that we are here... our house parents decided to leave us. They went to the countryside to take care of a hedge. They are amazing though and are helping us with German. The pillows are a little... more like a sack of feathers that stick out in every which way. And I hope I don't fall out of the windows either. Everything is just great here though and I am loving everything! Until next time!

Quote of the Day
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
