Wow!

Wow does not even to begin to describe today.  After German, we took a 2 hour walking tour of Salzburg. The tour guide was great! She made it very interesting by being passionate about the city and telling us her favorite parts.  Then three of us saw the Sound of Music in the Marionette Theater.  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing!  At the end, the curtain call was the real marionetters controlling the von Trapp puppets who had marionettes of their own! Wow.

So I haven't written in a while.  I met my group.  There are 13 of us.  Two people I clicked instantly with and we are good friends.  Everyone in the group, however, work really well together.
I also met my host family.  I have a host mother and father, a host 8 yr old sister, a dog, and two bunnies.  It is very nice and I really like it here and with them.  They are very patient with me when I attempt to speak German.  The dad and daughter only speak German, so that is fun.

Classes started yesterday.  The first half of the semester, I am taking Intermediate German and Understanding Austria.  They are both a lot to focus on, but are fun and filled with a ton of interesting important ness...

Well, I have found that when you put your all into learning alllllll day, you get very very tired.  I'm going to bed now.  (I'm glad there is free unlimited coffee at the school.)  If there is anything you want to know about that I haven't written about, please put it in a comment and I will answer your questions.

Auf Weidersehen!

P.S. I don't remember which text I used before, so this might be different.
