Austria: Blog Entry Friday

Friday:

 

Today, we got up at half past seven as every day until now. We dressed, brushed our teeth, ate breakfast and fed the baby-tortoise. Then we chatted a bit about the night and the arrival of my host-sisters sister Paula. She needed to go home because the university she goes to shut down. After that we walked  to the school and Martha had to leave because she had classes. The other austrian students and me still had some time left so we could tell each other the latest news. Our teachers arrived at half past nine and informed us about the situation in Austria and how we are going to deal with it. At this time I was not nervous neither was I scared. I was curious if we were going to fly back to Austria this day or the next Day as it was planned before. When the flight was confirmed I was rushing home packing my bag and said goodbye to my host family. My host mother even made me a sandwich for the travel, gave me a new shirt she bought, gave me a present for my parents and even prepared one last lunch. In the meantime our teachers were trying to plan the departure as good as possible. Everyone was extremely sad and some of the spanish and polish students even started crying. We didn’t want to go home but we knew it was for the better. We met at the bust station at 1 pm and said one last goodbye to our host siblings. We went to the valencian airport by bus and waited for our flight to depart. In the remaining time we texted the spanish students and talked a bit about the past week, we also ate some of the food our host families prepared for us. The first flight from Valencia to Munich was about 2 hours long. We landed at 8 pm. and waited for our connecting flight to Vienna. At half past ten we arrived in Austria. The flight was very relaxing but we were so excited to finally be at home again.  We got our suitcases and got on our bus to Judenburg. Everyone was very tired and exhausted from the long journey. I was listening to some music and fell asleep a few minutes later. Around midnight we arrived finally our destination.
