A Few Years Later

Hello all! Honestly I am astounded that so many people have read these scribbles that I used to ensure my meager scholarship. The comments that some of you posted about how this has helped you, or made you "feel more confident" or that it "made you feel better about your experience on a lower day." I feel really touched, and honored that you all allowed me to be a part of your adventures. To those of you who left comments and emails that never received a reply, I am very sorry. In the years between my grand adventure there have been many changes in my life, many challenging, not all of them positive, and few of them wonderful. I became very ill (twice), lost my dearest grandmother, and enjoyed a wonderful year at Saint Olaf College. If you are interested in hearing more about my life post-Austria, I'll try and find time to share more with you all. In the mean time, I am leaving for Tel Aviv, Israel (my first time out of the country since Wien) to make my life long dream of taking part on an Archaeological dig, after which I get to go HOOOOOOOOME!! I get to go stay with my family in Vienna and I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to see them again! I have missed them so much... If you would like to know more about that, I am starting another blog called Making Dreams Real. I hope it turns out... Anyway, all I can do is thank you all again for the wonderful feedback I have received from you all, and if there is anything more I can do, please feel free to contact me on Facebook. May you all have as wonderful an experience as I did. Even over two years later, mein Hertz bleibt in Wien. Good luck to you all!
