My Hopes for Vienna


My hopes for all the franklin pierce students attending this excellent journey are high. I hope everyone is able to accomplish their personal and academic goals. I also hope every has a positive learning experience, and a great social experience in this far away land.

I hope Heather, Tom and the Vienna professors also have an amazing semester. I hope everyone can share there knowledge with us, and vice versa. I am also hopeful that all staff will have a great experience away from the academic side of things. I hope Heather and Toms children also benefit from this voyage.

I have many hopes for this semester in Vienna, Austria. I hope to get all my work done, and get good grades. Well that is expected from everyone i would think. I also hope to achieve my personal goals, which are learning a lot more German and Italian. I would also like to try and obtain a job. I do not want to experience so much of the party life style... or the college life style of Vienna, how ever I aim to enjoy the real life style. I want to go snowboarding, and film others in High Definition, with my camcorder. At the end of it all i plan to return back home to my loved one, family and friends. I hope this journey will help me understand more of the world, and help better me as a individual and some one going into the world of work.

I am afraid of the communication aspect of things. I have been trying to learn German with some books and CD's and it really choppy water for me. I am also nervous about finding work. It is something I really want to accomplish, and it leads me to be nervous.
