I'm here!

So I just finished typing a post that took me forever because the keyboard is different, and then I accidentally closed out of it! Here we go again!

I made it over the ocean! The flight was not too terrible but we did taxi in Atlanta for an hour without any air conditioning! Once we flew in, we took a bus from Munich to Innsbruck, which was a little over two hours. Then, I met my roommate, who is a sophomore from UGA. She doesn't know anyone on the trip either, so we have been hanging out a lot. Last night we walked all through Old Town Innsbruck, which is really neat with a bunch of little shops and tiny streets. I thought cars would be too big to drive on them, but then I saw a mean taxi driver barging through!

Tonight is the opening ceremonies for the program. We have to dress up and go the the Innsbruck Congress Center. Classes start tomorrow, so today we went on a tour of the University. We also met some students from the University of New Orleans, who I think we will be hanging out with a lot! We went with them today and walked across the whole town to the mall to buy a fan.

At first, driving from Munich seemed just like America. It's the small things that make it different- like for instance the lady next to me at the computer lab brought her dog in with her and having no idea what you are ordering at restaurants! Everyone bikes here, so hopefully I can go rent a bike one day! The best part about everything is that when we walk out of our dorms and cross the river to go to class or basically anywhere else, we see the main view of Innsbruck (the one that is the header of my blog)!

I'm off to get ready for the ceremony! Maybe soon I'll see if I can load my pictures to this German computer, so ya'll can see my room and such! Missing all of you!
