First Week

I do not know what to make of this trip yet. I have enjoyed everything we have seen and I feel like we are in such an amazing country so I should be making the most of it but I don't feel like I've done that yet. I was sick for the first couple days which made me not up to going out and seeing the sites. I also feel like recently I have been suffering from jet lag but I was not in the middle of the week. I have really liked everywhere we've been and I have enjoyed learning more about Vienna. The bars have also been fun. I don't know if I like their grocery stores very much. I also feel like everything here is wicked expensive except for the beer and wine in grocery stores. It's weird eating food when your not really sure what it is at first. I'm a very picky eater but I have tried to be open to trying new things and sometimes I get so hungry it just doesn't matter. Hopefully for the rest of this trip I will stop sleeping so much and see a lot more then I have seen so far.

10 Words to Describe Me

Friend- Being a good friend is really important to me. I love all my friends and I spend a lot of time with them. I think that having meaningful friendships is the most important thing in the world.

Redhead- I know this is a silly word to describe myself with but my whole life I have been a natural redhead. It is something that always seems to have defined me. Sometimes I have loving red hair because it is rare and other times I wished I had been born with brown hair so it wouldn’t stand out as much.

Curious- I have always been a curious person and have always wanted to know what is going on around me. If something interests me I find myself asking several questions about it so that I know more. If there is something I don’t know it’s constantly on my mind until I do.

Silly- I love to have fun and I love making others laugh. Someone once said “Laughter makes the world go round” and I have to agree. I love to smile and act like a goofball and just have fun.

Student- I think of myself as a student because I really care about how I do in school. I also plan to go to grad school to get my masters degree and then maybe one day my doctorates. So I feel like I am going to be a student for most of my life but I love learning about the things I am interested in.

Extrovert- I am really outspoken and always speak my mind. I also like to think that I am overall a friendly person. I like meeting new people and I love having other people around me.

Planner- I am always making plans and trying to tie up loose ends. Whenever I have a lot of things on my plate or if something major is coming up I always make plans on how to accomplish the tasks in front of me. Sometimes it is as simple as I plan when to do my laundry and other times it’s a lot more detailed.

Clumsy- I have always been a clumsy person and am constantly getting hurt. When I was younger I was a lot worse and always had a sprained ankle or something. I fall over a lot or bump into things. I usually just laugh it off though and I haven’t broken many bones in my life so it’s all good.

Book worm- I love to read and always have even when I was little I loved listening to other people read to me. Every night before I go to bed I always have my nose in a book and I own hundreds, this is not an exaggeration. I don’t often read anything of significance though, usually just light fun books.

Laid back- For the most part I like to think that I am pretty relaxed. Not much bothers me and if things do not work out the way I intended or wanted them to I usually just let it go.
