boy, do i feel silly
to think that the last time i wrote on this thing, i was having minor panic attacks about finding an apartment...
i actually just secured one a few hours ago, and it's AWESOME. a-w-e-s-o-m-e, awesome. if anyone has ever seen the movie "l'auberge espagnole"/"the spanish apartment", it reminds me a lot of that. i'll be living with four other people: a guy from germany, a guy from austria, a girl from austria, and a guy from columbia. we had a little interview/slash/introduction tonight over some darned good tea, and i think i charmed them into letting me stay. the apartment itself is on reinprechtsdorferstrasse (longest. address. ever.) on the edge of the 5th district, just a two minute walk from the vienna canal. it's very central, and in a pretty colorful, multi-cultural area with lots of shops and whatnot.
the best part? the door up to the apartment is right next to an ice cream parlor :)
as for adjusting, i'm heading off to graz tomorrow at noon for a week-long orientation with other teaching assistants assigned to eastern austria. it should be pretty fun, in that i'm meeting a bunch of people who are just as nervous (if not more nervous) than i am about teaching english to a bunch of austrian high schoolers, and about living in a new place for a year. hopefully there will be some like-hearted folk at the orientation, and i might meet a friend or two to hang out with.
so, in brief, i finally have an address:
Leah Steiner Suter
Reinprechtsdorfer Strasse 43, 10-12
1050 Wien, AUSTRIA
and a real phone number: +0043 699 81425484
i am getting settled. :)

BRILLIANT! Well done, you! Now you can seduce a married woman on top of Gaudi archetecture... or maybe just eat a lot of ice cream. Both a great, right? Have fun at orientation!
