My new best friend and more updates

Guten tag! Wie geht`s?? Danke...
Isn`t German so fun!!

Anyhowzers. This video is just to update you on my oh-so-exciting life. I made a discovery, which you will hear about in the video.

Today I also realized that I really do not enjoy history. The entire day after my intensive German course was dedicated to finding out about Austria`s history and then a trip to the parliament.

Here is what I learned today (and its the only thing):
Austria SUCKS when it comes to Wars haha. Austria has lost the majority of their battles. Italy, Hungary, Croatia etc etc etc all used to be a part of Austria but no moreee. One of the reasons the historian said they lost their battles was because they didnt have the proper rifles. While the enemy was loading their gun from the back (SECONDS), The Austrians were loading it from the front (could take up to 6 MINUTES)........so yeah, that time difference will def screw you over

*Warning* Rant about Clubbing experience

Hey guys,

So, this video is all about my first clubbing experience in Vienna which happened last night. As most of you know I don`t smoke and I usually mind when people smoke around me. If you`re a smoker that`s fine ..just do it 10 m or more away from where I am standing..thx.


Ideas for Cooking on a budget??

Friends...I`m either going to become extremely skinny because my groceries consist of water, granola bars and low-fat yogurt, or I`m going to become a balloon because at dinner I eat out because I`m too tired (aka lazy) to cook.

So I decided that instead of whining I should enlist your help. What are some easy to make meals that wont cost me a lot (meaning a few ingredients and less than 30 min to prepare)?!
If you`re bored and feel like coming to my rescue, please reply haha

Thanx yo. and I`ll be uploading some more videos tonight =)

Vienna day 2

So I just realized I dont sound too happy / I didn`t really say anything too positive in this video. Truth is..I still have yet to be wowed by Vienna. I also dont think it helps that ever since the airplane was descending down to land, my ears have been stuffed like crazy...and my cold has not gotten any better. If I still feel sick by ...hmm tomorrow..I will go see a doctor I promise (I`m just not sure where lol)

Anyways, I`m finally going to meet all of the exchange students tomorrow!
Then on Saturday we`re going on a trip to Lower Vienna (Melk and Krems) so that should cheer me up :)


Airport Goodbyee

A video I made before getting on my flight. I`m going to miss my brother so much!! He`s the cutest thing :)

Vienna day 3


So I finallyyyyy met my buddy today!

For those of you who don`t know - each exchange student is set up with a local student whose job is to pick them up from the airport , show them around town, help them get settled in... like a big brother big sister type of thing.

So yes, I met him today and he`s really sweet. He took me to the *Sisi Museum* in Hofburg. This *residence* is where the Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth lived during the habsburg dynasty. Most of the tour was dedicated to Elisabeth who became known as Sisi. This woman was intense - she was best known for her rebellion against the court and the fact that she hated her title (she was promised to be married at the age of 15 - making her feel as though her freedom was taken away).

Anyways, as most of you know, I`m really NOT into history so the greatest thing I took away was - that it took her 3 hours every day to primp her ankle-length hair (which she would also condition with cognac and egg once a week) lol...so boys should not whine when it takes us a little bit longer to get ready for a date.

Anyways, my buddy is so cute to think I would be so interested in history. After that eventful outting he wanted to take me to see some horses getting trained...or something? haha. It was a tad expensive so I said maybe in the future. So then, we went to McDonalds! haha
