I'm still alive!!! :)

As you might have noticed, I'm incredibly lazy! But I decided to let you know that I'm still alive and I'm still gonna bother you with my blogs. Maybe... :D
So, I'll try to remember what I have done the last two weeks, which is not so easy... And not because I'm drinking.. because I'm not.. :p
I'm a nice student and I go to all the lectures. Well, actually because they are compulsary. My lecture schedule is different every week. Sometimes I have 8 hours of lectures per day, sometimes it's totally free. Not that I'm complaning but just don't get it.. :D I finally had to start studying - meaning that I had to make write a report and make a presentation. And I also gained my first team work experience here which was not that positive at all. One hour before the presenation, the teammate who had the most important part, announced that he has not written anything and he's not gonna present anything! I was quite not happy with the situation, so were my other teammates. But we did the presenation and even managed to get 2!!! Which is not fail as Ilze thought.. :p but the second best out of five! :)
We had a really interesting lecture in Economic Areas where we were discussing the US mortgage crisis and I was kind a talking a lot because I really like this topic and I have read about it quite a lot. Now, my coursemates think that I'm smart which I of course am.. :D
And I'm also smart in the course Financial Management. While other exchange students are complaining that it is SO difficult, for me it's kind of easy after Finance. Some of them even asked my help, so now I'm officially the finance guru.. :D
We had the small and the BIG school opening party. I can't remember what I did in the small one anymore.. :D but the big one was just two days ago, so I can still remember that it was cool! The place was very big (although smaller than Essential :D) and it was full of students from our school. I danced a lot and talked a lot.. :) in German and I must say that my German has improved considerably. Here you can also see some nice pictures... :)
With Austrians

With Mexicans

With Columbian

With Romanian

And of course Russians!!! :)
The next day I had lectures for 8 hours! I think I was sleeping half of the time... :D
In the meantime, my family came to visit me for 3 days! So, I had an opportunity to visit some places for the third time, not to spend my own money, get some Latvian cheese and honey and of course see them all!!! :)
The thesis proposal deadline is also approaching incredibly fast! My dear thesis partner Bubitta is going away for 9 days and so am I for 5 days and when we return, we have 6 days to write it. But luckily we have managed to agree on the topic, so it's not so bad after all! :)
Tomorrow I'm going to Villach to visit Egle! And it's gonna take me 6! hours to get there... But Austrian trains are really comfortable, so it's gonna be ok! :)
All in all, Austria is really nice, I really enjoy being here, people are very friendly and the nature is so beautiful! But one thing I really don't like - Austrians blow their noise SOOO loud!!! :D
Hopefully you are going to get some more updates the next week! :)
P.S. Information for the person who wrote a comment to my first blog but unfortunately did not leave his/her name.. 1) I do not wear short skirts here because it's cold, because the streets are not suitable for wearing heels and because nobody does! 2) I do not wear too much make-up because I just don't do that!
