Vienna waits for you...

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?

You'd better cool it off
before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told...
That you can get what you want
or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

So... welcome. A pretentious start but it is fitting, I think. I am a second year Student of German at the University of B. and will be spending my compulsory Year Abroad (henceforth refered to as 'Year Abroad') in Vienna, Austria, hence the title of this blog, post and the naff Billy Joel reference at the start of the post.

I am going to attempt to add to this blog frequently as I hope to use it as a sort of diary of my (mis)adventures whilst abroad. I'd like to look back and reminisce! If it is useful to any other students planning their year abroad next year, so much the better :o)

I probably wont update much over the next few months (until September when I fly out to attend their Language Course) bar whining about paperwork, my lack of language skills and how unbelieveably excited I am about it all. You may want to skim read for a few weeks. You have been warned.

Until next time, Auf Wiedersehen...
