WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO ON THE AUSTRIA-GERMANY ABROAD?

I’ve been learning German on and off since I was a little girl, and I really wanted to solidify my understanding of the language, as well as learn more about the culture.  I also am one of the last German Studies minors and needed this abroad to complete that.

3 THINGS PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU:

I enjoy math and science even though I professed not to in high school and I love reading science fiction, particularly when it involves space travel.

I was the instigator of many activities that gave my mother gray hairs when I was little, often involving toothpaste, Vaseline, crayons, or dry jell-o powder and timing them for right before we had to go somewhere.

I didn’t really experiment with my own sense of style when I was in secondary school, and so I am starting to do it now (clothes are too expensive to change all at once).  I am currently fascinated by punk and sort of classically elegant but am not sure I would want to fuse the two.
