New Year, Fresh Start, Same Country

Yup, it's that time already--fall is in the air, Notre Dame is once again accruing losses to sub-par football teams, and somewhere across the ocean, apple strudel is calling my name. In just one short week, I will be returning to Austria to study at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna on a Fulbright scholarship. Those of you who attempted to follow my last blog, Ann's Austrian Adventures, know that I was not the most--erm--diligent blogger. Consider this blog an attempt to make amends.
