The pictures below are from a hike to Goasting. Laura (another exchange student from Australia) and I hiked to the top where we saw the sunset and the castle

The pictures below is from my class trip to Vienna. In German class we have been studying the play, "Faust" by Johann Wolfgang Goethe. It was an interesting play... the German was so complicated that I couldn't understand anything. To make it even better the play was around 3 and a half hours long. My favourite part about the entire trip was the free time with my class. A couple of friends and I just roamed around Vienna looking at all the sites and stopping in at all the advent markets. It was a blast

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to update my blog. In Graz right now it is Matura Ball season. A Matura Ball is like Grad in Canada but it is more fancy and formal. I have been to 2 balls so far and they have been so much fun. I also have found a lacrosse team in Graz. I joined the Graz Gladiators Lacrosse team and it's been a blast so far. I've made so many new friends. Next weekend we are traveling to Liabach for the weekend to play the Slovenian team. On Monday I am changing host families. I can't say that I'm excited but it will be a change hopefully for the better. It will be hard to leave the host family that I am with now. We are all so close like a family. 

These are the pictures of me dressed up in the austrian traditional dress (lederhose) i love it!!!

Here was the weekend I spent in Millstat with Nolan and Libbi. It was a great weekend. Most of the pictures are from us walking up the giant hill to Nolan's house. I swear we did that 4 times in one day. By the end we were all gasping for air. The lake that the pictures are of is called Millstater See. 

good day today, ran in the Graz Marathon and came 3rd for the juniors!! It was only 4 Km but it was still fun. I almost died so i have made a goal for myself saying i must run at least twice a week

This is my 16th birthday cake that Angelika has baked for me!! It was sehr gut. The next picture was the sunset outside my window. Then we go to the famous dripstone cave. My camera decided to suck when we went in the cave so the pictures are somewhat blurry, I apologize
