Nine Days

Well, there's nine days to go, but it doesn't really feel like it. I'm cramming all my work [as usual], and now everyone but me is celebrating because mock exams are over.
I've written a list of things to pack.. my book is getting filled with writing and drawings from people, and I've decided [after talking to Miriam] that I'm too lazy to write many emails. So, a blog it is!

For those of you who don't know anything about my host family, I'm off to Innsbruck [as shown in the photos]. I'll be staying with Hanni, who nolonger works, but used to teach, and Andrea- her 18 year old daughter. Andrea is going to a different school from me, but i'm going to a very music-y school, so it should be ok. They like going for walks, Hanni does Qi-Gong, and Andrea plays the piano [i think] and guitar. They live in a flat just out of town and they bike everywhere - they even have a spare bike for me!

Innsbruck is the fourth biggest city in Austria. Austria is divided into 'States', and Innsbruck is in Tyrol- right on the German border.
Innsbruck is known around the world for it's skiing- it's right at the foot of the alps, and has hosted the Winter Olympics twice.


I had my going away party on Saturday night.. it was good. A little sad, but people are too crazy to be sad around.
Aaaaand.. i can't think of anything else to write.

Tchuess!
