I didn’t spend all that much time in Austria this month. ?I spent about half the month in Italy and Greece, then two weeks back in Vienna, and now I am in Budapest again. ?I am definitely missing my friends at this point in the exchange. ?I have made new friends but I am missing my best friends back home. ?Luckily, two of them?live in Europe already so it’s easy to visit! ?I am completely comfortable in Vienna now. ?My passport, wallet, and money were stolen while traveling and I had to get everything back when I returned to Vienna. ?I think that really helped me get out of my comfort zone. ?I wouldn’t normally go to the police office or other ministry offices,?so?having to do that made me appreciate the country more for their services as well as become more acclimated. ?Thankfully, everything is back to normal but it did take awhile. ?I am avoiding the thought of leaving. ?I never count things down but rather try to live in the moment as much as possible. ?I don’t really think about my time ending here because I know I will be back and have the opportunity to live abroad again.
