1 month

Hello. It has been one month since I moved to Graz! It feels like yesterday that I was getting on a plane for this big adventure.I can not begin to tell you how much i truely love this city. I never would have guessed that after only being here for a month I would already love it as much as I do. School begins on Monday. This is still an issue. I need to be in 20 ECTS, which is their credit system and that would be equal to taking 12 credit hours back home. I am only signed up for 16. This is not good. I went to see an adisor and she failed to mention to me that registration closes. It has now closed and I can not get into another course which I need. I have e-mailed the professor in hopes of getting into the class late. I am not good a going with the flow but I have sure been doing it here. There are some things I miss about home, I NEVER thought I would say this but I miss Wal-Mart..LOL...Here it is more difficult to find your everyday needs. They buy socks and underwear from places like H & M! I think it very strange but i am getting more and more used to it everyday. Meredith and I are still getting along great! Her boyfriend came to visit this week and it was really nice to get to meet him. I still do not know much German...it is the hardest language! I am trying though. I think that I will pick some up once school and started and I make more friends that are from here. At least that is what I am hoping! I also went and had my hair colored. The salon was cute and they did a goodjob! I know have dark hair and straight across bangs! Thought I would change it up a bit since I am so far away! Meredith said she really likes it! I will ahve to go somewhere to take pictures so you all can see! Miss all of you...BUT i wish I wish I could stay here and you all could just come to see me! Love you All!
