Hello! Well im back in Traismauer and i just had one of the most fun weekends of my life. I went to Tauplitz on Friday morning at 12 o'clock with Olivia, Everett, Keeghan, Sally, Alice, and Nicole and by the time that we had actually arrived at Tauplitz nearly 60 foreign exchange students were on the train it was so crazy. So this was the first time since language camp that i had seen any of the exchange students and it was soooo good to see everyone again. You dont realize how nice friends are until all of a sudden you actually have some again :p and we got to meet all of the oldies which was so much fun because they are all so crazy and spontaous and fun. So the first night was basically just everyone meeting everyone else and chilling and then on Saturday we got up at 8 and went on a hike around this really beautiful lake. About half way through the hike half the group stopped and jumped in the lake. I was considering jumping in but i didnt know how much longer the hike would be and i didnt want to hike soaking wet in the freezing cold and rain for who knows how long. But it was pretty funny because we stole two of the boys shorts for about an hour so they had to hike in their boxers for an hour and it was so funny but we did give their pants back eventually =] then there was another hike after lunch but a couple of us stayed upstairs and didnt go on it because we had just come back from a 5 hour hike and were not about to go back into the rain. So we hung out there for a while until the other hikers and over achievers came back. Then we had dinner and went back out hiking to a little disco place which was more of a big gazebo with music and free drinks :) i really love almdudler!! it like the national pop of Austria. Im also really enjoying Milka and Haribo =] so after the disko we went back to the hostel in a wagon and then we hung out again that night and finally went to bed around 1 which is later than i have stayed up in over a month! On Sunday it was another goodbye the weekend seemed to go so fast and yet now i cant seem to think of when i didnt know all the people i now do. Its hard to explain because you get to know people so well and have so much fun and then all of a sudden its over. But Monday was really hard because i had so much fun over the weekend and then i came back home where i only have one friend and i cant understand people and theres nothing to do. But tomorrow im going into Vienna for the Jason Mraz concert with some of the other inbounds and so im really looking forward to that! and Wien Wochenende (Vienna weekend) is in October so thats pretty exciting too. Its very sad that we newbies (the exchange students who came in august) only get to be with the oldies (those who came in January) for 4 months and we only have 3 events with them. But then we'll get newbies and we'll be the oldies =]
