I was successful in finding a flat before I started work. I moved in yesterday. It is pretty amazing and in a great neighborhood. It really worked out well for me. I live with a women named Amina. She is originally from Liechtenstein and studied in Austria. She is an artist and does her work in a studio in the apartment. She has a gallery in Vienna and that is where her boyfriend lives. So, she is traveling there quite often. She is very friendly and has really tried to make me feel at home. It has only been one day, but so far so good.
Last night we attended a birthday party for an artist friend of hers and that was quite an experience for me. Considering I don't know how to speak German it was hard to start up conversations. People did try and talk to me though and everyone I encountered spoke English. Everyone was extremely friendly too. It helps when you know someone in the group. :)
This morning I was sleeping soundly in my bed until 9:55 when the church bells from across the street went off for 5 minutes. That is the one bad thing about where I live, it has an amazing view but the bells are so loud. I had to put my pillow over my head just to block the sound and it really didn't do that great of a job. Oh well I knew it couldn't be completely perfect.
I start my job tomorrow. We have teacher meetings and trainings all week. We are also given some time to put our rooms together. I am just glad I have an apartment and I don't have to worry about that.
I hope everyone has a great week!!!
PS you probably wonder why I put roommates in the title, its because I live with 2 cats and a dog. They are all my roommates too.
