Well I am finally moved into my for realz dorm. I really like it so far, it's pretty big and for the all of 5 minutes I talked to my roommate before we both dashed off in different directions she seems really nice, all I know is that her name is Kristina and she is from Western Austria. I think she has an exchange student roommate every semester, so that's a good sign. But anyway, the dorm is nice, I think I'm going to enjoy it here, it's not too far from the city center or school or anything really.
This last week in Vienna was pretty eventful, we figured out what classes we will most likely be in, I'm for sure taking 3 classes with central, austrian context, german literature and then either music in Vienna or grammar and stylistics- those are all in german and are taught more similarly to classes in the states, except that they are only with other kids from my program. Then I'm also taking International econ, and then either the theology of Martin Luther, or Europes Political Economy, those are all classes at the University, so that's going to be an adventure. I am also taking a beginning dance class to like, 10 different dances among them Viennese Waltz, slow waltz, foxtrot, salsa, merengue, tango, cha cha cha, rumba, boogie and samba. whoo! That's going to be fun!
I had my interview with the UN yesterday, well it wasn't so much an interview as hi, I'm your boss, when can you work. But Anadin and I will be the "research specialists" for UNCITRAL which is the United Nations Commision on International Trade Law. That'll be fun I hope!
That's all really from here, we have just been getting to know Vienna, signing up for train passes, subway passes, living here, etc etc etc, it's crazy all the things we have had to do in the last week, it's made me dead tired. But this is a pretty easy week, classes "start" today but all I have is my stylistics class, if I decide to take it, today is a come in, we will sit and decide what this class will be based on those who want to take it, if you like it, take it. And then our mandatory Austrian Context class tomorrow which is a history and Viennese Sightseeing class. It'll be fun.
I'm loving it here, Vienna is wonderful the people are really nice and I'm really looking forward to my classes starting.

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun but yet very busy. Had coffee with you Mom on Friday morning and she told us a lot about their trip. Enjoy yourself and study, study, study.
