Today was my first day, and unexpectedly, my first class.
Everything went very smoothly, and I was really astonished at how helpful and
kind every Austrian I have met has been. Even the man at the bank in Salzburg,
whom I called regarding my payment, was eager and happy to help me figure
everything out.
I also got to lead a discussion in my first class. It’s
funny as this is expressly forbidden in our guidelines, but of course, the
teacher was sick and didn’t want the students to miss out. As I’ve taught
before, I was A-OK with filling in for him. It was a very easy lesson, anyway,
in that I just had the kids learn about who I am, and I learned a bit about who
they are. Color combination favorite is purple + green (what a coincidence,
since this is what my renaissance faire costume had!) and they like to eat
pasta and pizza. Can’t wait to meet more students tomorrow!
After class, I went for a walk in the neighborhood. I found
some interesting workshops I could potentially participate in. It is also the
Bauernherbst (Farmer's Fall) time right now, so I’ll go try to sample some of the local
specialties. I’ll post a picture if I work up enough gumption to take one in
the restaurant.
