Holy Smokes!!!!! I leave FRIDAY!!!!!
Currently overwhelmed and currently trying to figure out how I am going to get everything done before Thursday night. I still have so much to finish, buy, and pack ++ goodbyes I have to give to my family, friends, and my adorable dachshund, August. I haven't even started packing and I already know I'm going to want to take everything. The plus side is that Austria has similar weather to Ohio, minus the freezing, winter wind... well hopefully. I really can't believe I'll be in Europe on Saturday already. The first stop is London!!!! Current mood: so overwhelmed that I feel like all I can do is write it, I mean type it, out while listening to Apple's chill station.
I'm also a little nervous about my German not being up to par. My last German class was over a year ago and while I try to keep up with it, it has definitely diminished. Not speaking a language on a daily basis really deteriorates it. These next few weeks during my travel I will be studying as much as I can and reviewing things like vocab (Thanks Study Blue Flashcards + Duolingo) I have also been reading up on Austria. There is so much I don't know and while part of the history I learned from my German course in college referenced people/places from Austria, it was very minimal.
Okay so this is a short post, as I need to go to the bank, organize travel docs, and pack!!! But one thing first: Have people never heard of Austria and not know that they speak German there?? I have told so many random people and they think I'm talking about Australia and tell me to have a good time down under. 😂
