About Me

Hi, and welcome to my blog! :D

I made this blog to be able to keep everyone updated on, as it says, my adventures while studying in Austria. :) I apologize for the Englishness (those who know me will not be surprised), but there are a quite a few non-Dutch speakers that wanted to keep up with me and I wasn't really up for writing every post in both languages... My apologies! :)

That said, have a look around, drop me a comment and enjoy! ;)

Day 37 - 41: Short short short, Fia's in a hurry!


It's gonna be a v. v. quick entry, you guyz, because I completely forgot to do this and now it's late and I have to get up at 6 AM tmrw. Pity me. :(

Anyhoo, I used to do this all the time on LJ, so let's see if it works here too! My week in bullet points:

Day 37: Wednesday, April 1

  • Homework in the morning, English in the afternoon.

  • Mrs. Katzlinger remains to be filled with... Well, I wanna say spunk, but that would be gross. :| Boundless energy? :D It's nice, mostly, but she never seems to have time for anything. This is less nice, sadly. :(

  • Fia ♥ Metric!

  • Metric's a band, you see, and I got their new album and it is amaaaaaazing. And of course they are playing Belgium while I am in Austria. :( Just like, oh, say, 436245736743657236 of my other fave bands. D: MY LIFE, SO HARD! :(

  • Fia also ♥ Lupe Fiasco, who is a rapper. :D

  • In conclusion: Wednesday = musicday!


  • ..

  • WAIT, I forgot something! Wednesday was also the start of the amazing weather times we've had here since. :D I lounged in the sun after class, till it was too cold, finishing The Golden Compass. And it was glorious. :D The weather. The book was only okay? :p



Day 38: Thursday, April 2


  • Praxis again in the morning. The kids had a test, was interesting to see how this works in other countries. :)

  • We made more agreements about the teaching that is supposed to occur after the break. Teaching German kids about Belgium, should be a whoop! :D And we don't even have to fill a full 50 mins. ^-^

  • More lounging in the sun. Our terrace is almost windfree, and ok, the chairs aren't the most comfy thing in the universe, but, sun! Books! Music! Tis Utopia, indeed. :D

  • Also of note: There are, apparently, no commercial movies in Innsbruck that aren't dubbed. :( Meaning I won't get to see Fast & Furious until it comes out on DVD cos it's dubbed here and by the time I get home it'll be out of theatres. Sulk.

  • I also watched an old Queer as Folk epi on my iPod thursday eve, and 'lo and behold! Rekindling of the love! Ahhhh, good times with Brian and Justin and their Epic Gay Love. :D ♥

  • Afternoon: last German class! I do think I will miss it, Kate was a fun teacher. :) And the field trip ended up being to McDonalds. Lol. :p It was neat, though. ^-^

  • Oh, and. HOOOOLIIIIIDAAAAAAAY! \o/ :D



Day 39: Friday, April 3

  • Friday morning: sleeping in. What, you're surprised? :p C'mon. :p

  • Friday afternoon: desperately looking for a printer in school, due to the need to print things for my trip to Vienna. Not finding anything or anyone there. Eventually half begging the gruff man in the library. Victory! \o/

  • Also Friday: groceries! I walked, since the weather was so. unbelievably. awesome. :D Hoooonestly, I love it. *thrives*

  • Friday Eve: Birthday party for Elina, another Erasmus student here, from Finland. :) Wine was served, conversation was exchanged, fun was had. \o/



Day 40: Saturday, April 4

  • Picked up the camera Cristina lent to me for the holidays! It will henceforth be known as My Precious. :D :D Yaaaaay. :D

  • Went for a loooong walk talking a bazillion pictures along the way. ^-^

  • Weather still awesome.

  • Basically, what you can say is I walked around and enjoyed the weather and the sun. Muahahahahhaha. :D May be boring, but meh. (I may have also bought Queer As Folk DVD's. Sorry Mom! D:)

  • Oh, and woke up to fantastic news! In case you hadn't heard yet: Iowa legalized same-sex marriage! I'd dig up a link for you, but I'm lazy. Also in a hurry. ;) But this is good news! :D Go Iowa!



Day 41: Sunday, April 5

  • Which is today!

  • Which started with finishing the Queer As Folk DVD's I bought the evening before. Ahem. A full season in about 24 hours. Obsessed, who, me? TV-show-athons are awesome, okay? :p

  • QaF put me in a great mood, which continued for the rest of the day! Yay, happy days! :D

  • The rest of the day: shower, decadently late brunch, ironing, skypeing with aunt-sister-mom, packing my stuff, updating blog! :D Soundtracked by my happy playlist. :)



So basically, that was my week in bullet points. :D I shan't be around for the next couple of days as I am GOING TO VIENNA! Yes, this warrants caps. Trust me. :D I'm really excited! :D The weather's predicting up the 20s (Celsius, obv) and sun! HOORAY! :D I have a camera (sadly not Cristina's, but I'm not taking that expensive thing with me to Vienna, srsly. What if I lose it?!) so expect a lot of pictures when I get back! :D

Until Friday, Schätzi's. ;) Wiedersehen!

Fia/Lindsey
