For about 2 weeks now, Vienna has been the place to be. We have had a temperature range or 65-75 degrees every day! There are flowers in bloom and people spending the days in the parks or just out taking walks. Since this week is one of my 3 weeks allowed for spring break, I am taking it easy and enjoying the beautiful weather. During the day, I take a towel and go out to our porch and sun bathe! In the evening when the sun starts to set, I head out for a new spot! Taking a walk at sunset is probably the most Austria thing I do every day. It is the way of life here. On my list of things to do, I still have to go to the Prater Ferris Wheel and Weinerwald (Vienna Woods). Those will probably have to wait till after my trip to Rome and Prague! I leave Monday evening to take a night train to Rome. I will stay there with my old roommate Francesca for about 4 days then head back here to Vienna to work on some laundry and enjoy the nice weather. 
Then, after church on sunday, I will get on another train and make my way to Prague to see my sister Barbie! Barbie was an exchange student that lived with my family for a year back when i was in highschool. I havent seen her in about 3 years so this is going to be a wonderful week! I am planning on spending about 5 days in Prague then we are travelign to her home city about 2 hours away and we will stay at her house with her mom and her brother.That is really the extent of my Easter Holiday plans. Once May and June roll around, i might try to get a group together to visit Munich, Athens, Salzburg and a couple more places. After all, I cant spend a semester in Europe and only visit 2 cities!
For the last 2 weeks, our laundry machines have been broken. Fortunately, one of my flatmates had a friend who was willing to help us with our laundry. She and her brother took our laundry home for a weekend (now remember, I had to send every piece of clothing that was dirty with them because i didnt know when the machines here would get fixed.) We sent them away on Friday and I didnt have any thing to wear till Sunday afternoon. Basically, I spent the whole weekend taking a nap and watching tv in my PJs :D Then, when the guy, Mladen, brought our clothes back, he asked to go to dinner with him. Of course I wasnt going to say no! He was a cute Serbian boy. He took me to this nice Italian restaurant and we had pizza and wine! It was such a nice evening. Funny thing, you know how some people get into a habit of dating the same type of guy or physically and characteristicly the same type of guy, well I swear he was the spitting image of this guy I dated last May.
It was scarry how similar they are, yet they are so different. He bought me flowers too!!!It was nice to experience a "date" while here in vienna. :D
To night, I am meeting with this guy named Martin, who will be studying at Purdue in the fall. Christine and I will meet with him and talk about classes and what to expect when studying in America....and more specifically West Lafayette, IN :D
Until next time....82 days left :D
