The Bratislava Castle!
Knowing that I leave Austria soon has really activated my “do as much as you possibly can while you still can” drive. I’ve done a lot this week, from going to the theater, to travelling to Bratislava, to visiting an aquarium. It’s part of the reason why this post is going out a little late — I didn’t get a chance to sit down and finish writing the post until pretty late.

German classes at IKI have been going well, and I’ve been getting all of my ducks in a row to start classes at Marburg next month. It’s been a little stressful, picking out classes and figuring out which ones I can get credit for at Etown. But things are slowly coming together.
It’s strange, to think about how I’ve been in Vienna for a month and a half. It doesn’t feel like I’ve been here that long. I’m just now really getting the hang of living here and yet in just a week and a half I will leave. While I’m sure Marburg will be fantastic, I know I’m going to miss Vienna.

My new favorite thing about being in Europe is that I can just decide to go to another country for a day.
Early last week, some friends and I decided we’d like to take a day trip to Budapest, Hungary on Saturday. Budapest is only two hours away from Vienna by bus, and the round-trip tickets only cost 18€ ($21).
The trip was fantastic. Not only did we get to see the sights in a beautiful city, but one of my friends I made at IKI last month, Orsi, lives there and was able to spend the day with us!
As of this past Thursday, I have officially completed my first course! I even got a nice certificate to show for it. Tomorrow, I will be starting the B1+ German course, which is the next level up, and by the end of September I will (hopefully) be well prepared for my classes at Marburg.
