Love it when I get my monthly allowance from rotary! $cha-ching$ I feel so rich at the begginings of months, then I'm always poor for the last week. Where does all my money go?? 

I think I'll go get my daily kabab and pastry now.

A little thing about host parents

I know they're doing it cause they really, earnestly care about you but, one thing about host parents is they always want to make sure you're not homesick, so they ask you, " hast du noch Heimweh?" And it's like well not until you just mentioned it. And it doesn't stop there, when your like "no not really," they go on. "But I can imagine it's very hard to away from your mom and your dog, and talking to all your friends is different than here,"and  "it's a very long time to be away from all that," and on and on. 

And it's not just host parents, people here always ask me, about what I miss back home. It's nice that you care so much about me, I really appreciate it but it's actually not helpful if you bring up missing home more than I do. 

Danke

Mac and Cheese

Ate mac and cheese today, as in the delicious Kraft in a box brand. Wow, it was fantastic! Probably the best Kraft mac and cheese I've ever had. But maybe that's because it was freakin THREE EUROS. They don't have mac and cheese in a box in Austria, but we discovered a small import store in Graz that carries mac and cheese, Lucky Charms, root beer and a few other American necessities, but of course everything is incredibly expensive. I mean what does a box of Kraft cost in America? Like sixty cents, especially somewhere like Cost Co. But totes worth it! Unfortunately  I know I will be visiting that store again, when I'm craving a little good ol' merican food.
