My dear sister, I'm sorry for my lack of blog time. Here we go. The last few days in shorthand: 1. I've been showering near every day....it's weird. 2. Learning how to swear in about 8 languages. 3. Staying out very late to talk about everything from politics everywhere to drinking with the Canadians, French, Ukrainians, Swedish, Dutch, Croatians, and Mexicans. 4. Explored the Donau (Danube) and shopping!! Oh, the shopping!!! I'm sure you, dear sister-friend, will be excited with the few pieces I've bought so far.

Would like to point out before updating for today that after 12 hours of our 13 person group being in our dormitory I was approached by Mike, a nice Hungarian lad, our conversation went a little like this: Mike: "You're in the group from Cincinnati?" Me: "....Yes?" Mike: "I've heard of you guys. They say you're dangerous. Is that true?" Me: "How have you heard of us already!? And yes, very" Now for the Post. Met up with the other University of Cincinnati kids. Here’s the group now! My awesome roommate, Erin. Whose job it is this semester to keep my bad influence lower than her good one. This’ll be interesting. BUT either way, we head to the Linz Hauptplatz and look for eine (or zweie) Kneipe (bars). Success! Bug’s. here we toast to my favorite ... read more
