German class, Schonbrunn, and flute choir

I began the morning with German class. It is really hard. I was really lost and overwhelmed. I know that I'm going to be struggling for a while, but that is okay. The professor is really nice, and understanding. She gave us a binder of things we can do to learn it and an explanation of the language. That will be really helpful. Thankfully it is not graded, and it is included in the trip, so if I don't do so well it won't matter. :) After lunch we went to the Schonbrunn palace, where Maria Theresa lived. We were supposed to have 2 hours there, but German class ran for an hour and a half instead of 30 minutes. So, we only had 45 minutes at Schonbrunn. But, even though it was rushed, it was still amazing because I was in the room where Mozart gave his first concert at the age of 6. :-) I went back to the IES center and had flute choir rehearsal. It went really well and we are ready to perform tomorrow. From there it was really laid back, and we just went back the apartment and had snacks with new friends. I got in touch with another friend from Prague, who was also an exchange student in Nashua, Zbynek. He saw on facebook that I was in Vienna, so hopefully I can see him when I go there. This trip has endless possibilities. :) So, even though today was a little hard, it turned out great. Now I'm going to get ready for bed and review some German before I go to bed so I'm not completely lost tomorrow. Good night!! :)
