Hey guys! I just looked at my blog and at all the people I follow and then I realized that I actually didn't post or logged myself in for a long long time!! So weird, it really didn't seem that long to me. Anyway since I' m afraid that that post will be long I better hurry up a little bit.
Yesterday has been the 3rd of January 2013- duh ;) But that means that it's been exactly one year since I started my journey to the USA and it's been a year since i spent my first American day- holy crap, right? Oh gosh and I remember it like it's only been a few weeks, but I'm not going to go over it all again, pretty sure you all are familiar with it :)
I'd do it again immediately and it would probably be easier now that I know what I'm gonna get.
Right, my AWESOME hostfamily!! Since the last time i posted something a few things have been going on: First of all they sent me this HUGE package with candy and peanutbutter!! There were 2 kg of peanutbutter, a LOT of Reese's, Nerds, and a lot of cinnamon gum in it! I was super happy when i saw what they sent me and it made me feel loved. So awesome, my hostfamily is so sweet. It made me miss them more. But then at Christmas time ( my Austrian christmas has been great btw, my friends and family are just lovely :) ) I got another package which I hadn't expected at all! It was so exciting! It was kinda late though, which was weird because it was in Austria a week before I got it. Austria mailing service is so slow. I also sent my hostfamily a package for christmas because they sent me so much stuff! But mine arrived on December 31st I think I might have been wrong about when I should send it o that it arrives on time :D But anyway they've been excited and happy about they package, nevermind how late it was.
The package I got arrived on the 28th and I got a shirt and jeans from american eagle, perfumes from PINK, my yearbook, I ordered shortly before I left the USA a candy cane and a very sweet card with pictures of them! I miss my hostfamily so much!!! I'm glad we have facebook and so on, because I still have a pretty good idea what's going on in GI :)
Yeah I'm home now, for 6 months already. My German is almost back to normal by now but I STILL use English phrases or words sometimes and I just can't help it! Some people are really annoyed by it. They're weirdos, it's not that I just snap my fingers and my brain is on German mode again. I just think that German sounds inappropriate sometimes and really rude and weird and hard so I just use English. Get over it.
And what upsets me the most is that "normal" people, who didn't spend half a year in the USA and speaking English all the time use English all the time and nobody cares. Like what the hell? Why is it okay for them, but when I do it everybody is like "hm not again, we're in Austria it's German here!"
Ha it's just stupid!! I mean I'm really okay with being here in Austria again, seriously I really missed my friends and family around me and just the familiar atmosphere but there are a couple of things I find hard to get used to, though I didn't even notice them before. I'm gonna give you a few examples just because i feel that when i write them down and share them it makes it better for me. Sorry about that I'm being really egoistic right now :S
Good first of all the really really annoying rudeness of some Austrians! I'm pretty sure you can find that phenomena in the USA or anywhere in the world too but I feel like here it's really intense sometimes! Just random people who you don't even know and who you don't even bother tell you how to behave or not behave or how you have to look and what you have to do. Maybe just because they're having a bad day. People these are your stupid problems leave me alone with them I'm not bothering you.
Or when something is different you can assume that a lot of people don't want anything to do with it.Or like it. Rude.
What else is really bothering me is the lifestyle of especially younger people. They drink smoke and are rude. Altogether I liked it better in the USA, it's really not necessary to do all that! People who are drunk are just disgusting, creepy and there's no way that they are awesome in a way. It sucks, in that point Austria is like so primitive, seriously any other countries do not tolerate it the way it is tolerated here.
The last point I wanna tell you about here might be a little weird especially for Europeans maybe. But imagine you are in a dark room full of people. It stinks, the people around you are either really drunk or creepy anyways, it's hot, it's expensive as hell to get something to drink, you don't know anybody around you and there's music you really do not like, which is so loud you can't even hear your own words. . Now imagine that you pay money to get in there just to look forward when you get out again. Does that sound enjoyable or fun to you? Well for me it's not and i don't see why anybody would like to do that almost every day. And exactly THAT is what people my age like to do. I mean I like it when we're at somebody's house and when there are not many people and people I know but what I just described is just boring and annoying. That's why I think I've been born in the wrong country but since I'm here I might as well get used to it. That's what I've been trying to do since I'm back and i still continue to do so. Wish me luck :D But Austria has to do more to make me desperate, now I just find it bearable, but alright.
I'm gonna go to sleep now, gosh Christmas holidays are almost over and I really don't feel like school again, though it will be nice to see the whole class together again, I really enjoy their presence again and I've heard that we get some exchange students at my school in January, so I'm excited to meet them!
Life is good. I miss you USA. <3
Anyways night night my friends you now have to wait a while until I post something I suppose because that post is so long I don't think I'll feel like writing about something for a long time- just because I don't have a topic to write about :)
