The one with Roommate bonding

Ok so let me start off by telling you how much I love my roommates! Seriously they should find this and see how awesome they are!!!
Ok so my day was pretty typical- procrastinated getting up, rolled out of bed went to class, wished I was done at the break, went to my last class, came home goofed off for a couple hours instead of doing homework.....and then

I go upstairs and my roommates are going to Sammy's to get pie shakes-this is what it sounds like a piece of pie put into a shake...yeah it was good well I tried tiffany's since I got a BLT which was also good.
ok then on the way out a guy in a RV stops us and asks us to call 911 for him were like um what? ok. So we do he has us call the police because his fiance got mad and just got out of the car and started walking away...apparently she had some outsanding bench warrant? and so yeah my roommate is talking to the police and describing what she is wearing when she walks up!!! so yeah she got in the car and they started yelling at each other and took off. We gave the cops their plates and got out of there.
Ok next meeting with the bishop...not too bad Ill have a calling soon I guess but he needed to talk to my last bishop to give me a temple recomend....good luck with that-its ok we worked it out hell talk to my director.
Then got home and went country dancing with some of my roommates...BEST THING EVER!!!!!!
Seriously I'd never done this before but was having so much fun this one guy I danced with was fliping me around and it was just amazing.
We want to go every week because it was like the coolest thing ever.

Ok I have like 4 hours of reading and its midnight-oh the college life you can pick two things of good grades sleep and a social life-guess which two I generally pick :)

Why being sick sucks

1.I like food....when sick it is difficult to eat
2.if you have a stuffy nose-you can't breathe well
3.I don't maintain a normal temperature anyways
4.I feel gross.....could probably use a shower, but
5. am too weak from being sick to move that much
6. I end up saying/doing crazy things or
7.Im just terrible at responding in a coherent manner
there is a lot more that sucks about being sick but I won't bore you with the details. Lets see 2-9 didnt sleep since I was sick then my awesome roommate tiffany stayed with me so I didnt pass out and choke and die. Then fell asleep....found out something exciting-so I walked to Megan's to hang out. My low tempurature went to high....but in the end good day...or not ask me when Im well and I can decide if my actions were crazy or not.

The one where I can't sleep

Seriously I was asleep.


I went to bed at 10 like a good little girl.


and I fell asleep.


about 11:30 I get a call about a very last minute application I sent in


yeah they wanted me to go up then.


I got back by about midnight-not bad right?


but now I cannot sleep.


Can I just say there is a disturbing amount of people out in Provo at midnight I mean its Provo what is there to do????


First week of classes is going pretty good Ive already begun to procrastinate homework, turned in a paper and have my first research assignment well assigned-wahoo. Did you know Im techniquly a junior now.


You'd think a junior in college would be smart enough to not download a virus to their computer


so its a good thing Im really a sophomore-or I just dont posess the good sence I was born with


This post is slightly odd-Ill blame it on the late hour
best Ice cream in Vienna sadoni and sadoni off of stephans platz
best resturant Schnitzelwirt neubaugasse 52
I WANT ICE CREAM-mainly the ice cream depicted above....its mango second best mango ice cream ever the first was that place in Leipzig san remo...or something like that.
That is if you like eis.....and not gilato-like me
ok bed now hopefully

Silly Annie

Since I think it would be horribly sad to only have one blog post for august


some random thoughts
1. I used to obsessively check "my" blogs in chronological order...now I look at them in order that they amuse me
2. I truely should be doing homework right now....but its only the first week there isnt anything too major...mostly just reading.
3. My biology teacher is crazy also I may have stumbled into the equivilent of tree hugger 101 and since megan says I'm like tree hugger 300...thats ok with me :)
4. For those of you in the know TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. I would rather like some doctor pepper right now...I may start offering rewards again to whomever brings me some.
6. my house is hot....but I live in the basement so its nice and cool
7. my room is an absolute pig sty already *shakes head*
8.I kind of feel like swiming-or jumping off of a diving board into freezing water
9. I will probably die of German this semester since I have 2 intense german classes and am trying to do several other things to improve my language skills.
10. I have no idea where I'm going in life but I'm excited to get there-they say its all about the journey anyways right?

love-Annie

An update(or something like it)

Here I am back at BYU. Sitting in the little nook in my room(yes I am pyched) looking out at the bed and rather ominous sheet that hangs behind it-possible hiding a water heater? Also a lot of boxes since I just moved in but Im all unpacked so they are empty boxes. Im excited to be back in provo(dispite the fact that for the past month when ever someone mentioned it Id shake my head and grumble under my breath stupid provo) but mostly to see people. Seriously I miss Vienna a ton-Ive had my fill of here and Im ready to go back-too back Im dead broke. So not too much is new except that I really need a job and that classes start monday-Im excited to go back to learn more and to work on my german more-I have two german classes. Im feeling a little homesick and lonesome for Vienna and our group there I saw them so often and we got so close...its just weird to be without them.

Ok Im going to snuggle down with a book and just be a lazy bum for a while-because honestly its what I do best. Look out on facebook for pictures of my new house. Hopefully you've all seen the ones of Austria. Want to hear about anything? Saltmines? Ice Caves? Hiking in the Alps? Rushing around our last day? Honestly I still can't believe Im gone.

the one with all the should'ves

Is it really july? Has a new year of my life really started? Do I really leave Vienna in less than a week?

If you can't tell I'm feeling a little reluctant right now. I don't want time to keep moving. In just a year I won't be a teenager anymore, but I don't know anything else about what my life will be like. The reason I say that is because if you had told me next year that my life would be where it is right now I would have never believed you. Not because I'm unhappy or I think I would have not liked what the future held just that its soo different and it doesn't look like its solidifying anytime soon. I should tell you about my amazing trip to Budapest and how great it was to see the chapmans. I should tell you about what we're doing in class right now and how we're spending our last week in Vienna. I should tell you about the progression of my german which I guess has been a lot. I should tell you about our 2 week trip coming up in the alps. I should tell you about the projects I just finished. I should tell you about how supremely happy I am and how much I wish I never had to leave Vienna. I should tell you about how I'm a little sad that my mom left MD because now no one is at "home" I should tell you how Im feeling a little homeless. I should tell you how I am feeling so unmotivated right now. I should tell you how much I want life to start(just with a little warning of what it is) I should tell you about how I wish I could get a glimpse of where Ill be next year.


But I've just got too much on my mind

The one with the better place

Elder Gill: Where are you going to be this weekend


Elder Tilgner: In a better place!





yeah he really said that lol





SO Thursday night megan and I left from Wien Westbahnhof our train was scheduled to leave at 9 but we left at ten....after serveral hours of trying to sleep in a chair but when we got to Praha...prague? 3 people got off and then we could lay out because as the berliner next to us said "lets spread out and pretend were asleep so people wont come in" which actually worked because not as many people continue on to Dresden after Prague. So a few hours later...still in the Czeck....spell check?....we heard this loud noise. What we heard was the wires above the train snapping and then hitting something loose on the track. Five hours later they made us go to the other side of the tracks to get on another train. We finally got to Dresden and luckily a train to Leipzig which was the goal, so we got to Leipzig at 1 pm instead of 7 am. First thing we did was buy our tickets and honestly this experience already made us like Leipzig better than Vienna because the ticket people were so much nicer to us and worked had to get us the cheapest tickests possible. The people at Sudbahnhof we recognise because we hate them so much...they're mean and make us feel dumb. Ok but tickets home out of the way we decided to get some good old Burger King because thats why you go to germany...Megan did spice it up by getting a chili cheese burger and a chicken nugget burger both seemed rather interesting. Then we went around the Bahnhof since it is 3 stories and has over 140 resturants and stores....yeah its huge total conundrum as to why. After we wandered for a bit we went outside in order to find this supposedly really good ice cream-but we only knew the street name and there is like 5 eis places on every street so we picked the one with the crowd and let me tell you it was amazing best eis we've had yet. Um so then we walked around finding like the major churches and the old and new rathaus...searched for a suvineer shop-took forever this place is sooo untouristy. Ok well a ton more amazing stuff happened but I just don't feel like writing about it right now

My Birthday was pretty chill we helped my host mom move and then just hung out so really different but fun. this weekend were just hanging around but next weekend we are going to Budapest!! soooooexcited

More later-Anne
