One week from today I will be on a plane headed to Vienna! I can't even believe it. To be honest, it hasn't really hit me yet. I get nervous when I start to think about it... but I can't even begin to imagine what's in store for me.
I'm finding out that picking classes for the semester is going to be quite a bit more difficult than I'd thought. Some of the credits that were guaranteed to transfer back to CU are no longer going to transfer. Frustrating! But in some ways it's a good thing. This way my schedule is opened up to take some classes that my major wouldn't usually allow right? Like, child psychology, or art history! I just hope I can manage the extra credits somehow when I get back....oy!!
The other thing that's panicking me is the language barrier. Have I mentioned that I don't speak German? ANY German? I realize that most people will speak English, however, I know I would feel better about going if I was able to at least try to communicate in the native language.
But you know what I'm excited about? I get to walk the streets that Mozart walked. I get to see the infamous architecture of Austria. Above all, I am finally doing something on my own. I am beginning this adventure as an adult, ready to learn about myself and the world I live in! Vienna, watch out, 'cause HERE I COME!!
Love,
Susan
