Day 1...Let's do this.

Let the blogging commence. Since I've never done this before, I might try a few different versions of writing. I'll start with something like journaling though.

I'm in Munich!! It's been an incredibly long day, it's currently a little after 4pm Monday here, and I've been going since 8am Sunday, US time. My flight was non eventful, (which is better than eventful!) and I met up with a girl named Jenna who's from near Boston. We had facebooked a little before our departure day, which was nice so we had each other to deal with the airports and everything with. We ended up sitting together on the plane as well. When we met up with the rest of the group at the Munich airport, we discovered that there are 16 people in our group.... and 16 people in the entire Salzburg College school. Which will mean lots of lovely individual attention in classes. The program director and academic director are with us, and they're awesome. Both of them have only been with Salzburg College for a year or 2, but they know everything (so far).

Everyone in the group is great so far. There are 10 girls and 6 guys. We're staying in a hostle for our time in Munich, but I have a feeling like we'll be doing a lot of group things. It's one of the guys birthdays today, so we're all going out later. We had lunch/ orientation at the Hofbrauhaus today... like the original Hofbrauhaus. IT WAS SO COOL! Pictures to follow, of course. Lots of walking, as expected, but I'll be glad to go to bed tonight. It's one of the STRANGEST sensations ever, being in a place where I literally can't understand anyone when I walk down the street. Hopefully with my German class, I'll start to catch onto things a bit easier. I never understood the power of pictures until now! So, I feel like there has been a million things I want to tell everyone that went of today, but my head is so tired, hopefully I'll remember it all later.

I miss everyone A TON already, but I can feel ya'll's (channeling the inner Texans on this trip, there's 3 of them) spirit with me. Love you

  1. That so cool that you only have 16 people in the college! And it's kindof bizarre, but I feel like you'll learn so much that way :D I'm glad you're having a good time already!
    p.s. I'm jealous you had an airport friend
