Day 4
11:03 am.
Ok so yes I am not the most creative person with titles of the posts, so sue me. Helga is really sweet, but the mom routine is getting old fast. I am 23 years old, I don't need a mother. Yesterday, Michaela and her hubby came and got me and we went to a Christmas market outside the old Imperial Palace, this is the big thing here markets, as opposed to malls, it's neat, but I digress, so before I go, Helga makes me put on an undershirt because she is worried about my kidneys. She is always telling me how to do things, like putting her friends e-mails who I am contacting about a place in Paris in my address book, rather than just having them on a piece of paper, honestly, when will I use it other than that? I have to send e-mails to all these people now too about a place. I do it, just to avoid arugments, but I am an independent person, and I don't like to be told how to live my life, there has to be boundaries, I am willing to do work the way I am expected to, but my personal life is something I will live the way I want. It will be nice when she is back in the country side instead of staying here in Vienna with me. She is expecting me to do everything the way she does, but I am not her. Like she wants me to make ice tea as opposed to buying it, but I don't like cold tea. Don't get me wrong, I like her, but she needs to back off a bit. Anyways back to the Christmas markets the big thing here is the punsch, it's nice and hot and full of alcohol. The markets have a lot of craft stuff in it. Michaela is really nice, we are going to go to the ringstrasse today and see some of the sites. There is a Christmas Party for this aboriginal support group (more of a lobbying group as opposed to a support group like AA). I made the mistake of telling Helga I did newscasts, and now I have to give a 3 -4 minute speech tonight, as if. Who am I to give a speech? Just Kristin here. Anyways enough of a rant for now. Helga has invited me and Lisa (another intern from the U. of Sask here in Wien) to come to the countryside for Christmas, but we are hoping to travel. I haven't actually met Lisa yet, but we have e-mailed and talked on the phone last night. We are thinking Italy. I hope it works out. I will meet Lisa tonight at the Christmas party, and we will talk more. When I called Lisa last night we talked for 10 minutes and it was over 3€ which is almost like 5 dollars canadian if not more. Insane tells ya! I guess over here it's expensive for a land phone to talk to a cell phone. I don't really now why, but yeah. It was cheaper to call home to Canada! On the way here, I saw this incredibley cute bunny (Well bunnies, one was just a baby!) I wonder what Hermione would think if I brought home a rabbit? You left me with a young kid to torture me for almost five months, and then you bring home another pet? Her nose would definately be out of joint!Oh yeah for to mention I am finding it easier, just to use the German keyboard, rather than switch the setting to english, because I don't have to guess what the buttons do. I will soon get to learn a french keyboard as well.
