A little Aaron info

Well, my Europe trip is fast approaching. I'll be leaving July 25...less than 4 weeks. I'm staying in Vienna, Austria with a friend I met on a different trip, and while normally someone with my age and education might travel to teach, I'll be a student at the HochschülerInnenschaft an der Universität Wien...but for just one class - Intensive German. I'll be continuing my current work and likely continuing a frugal lifestyle given the horrid exchange rate, despite the fact that work is, for the most part, going very well.

So that's the gist of my agenda. Good times.

My loyal readers might notice a lack of activity on this blog. Sure - I've been busy with work and studying my German (I'm quite happy with where I'm at - I've worked hard at it and I'm seeing good results. I won't have any problems getting around, but I'll be quickly identifiable as a non-native speaker). I don't know though, I'm a firm believer that you do the things you make time for. I guess for me, I've been on a blogging break. It's not over, either. It's unusual, because very often over the last few months I've had ideas I'd have really loved to blog about (since I try to keep things as free as possible of personal updates, like the one above) but the desire wasn't there to write it out. It's unfortunate, because this blog is like an "idea repository" for me, and through it I have a means to store my thoughts for later review and critique (oh, I was so naive!).
