Sorry I haven’t written in a long time; I have been
really, really busy.
Last weekend I was in Graz for 5 days. On Friday the
21st I met my counselor, Herr Nestroy, in Knittelfeld, and we drove
together to Graz. I had lunch with his family, and in the afternoon we drove to
Kumberg, a region outside of Graz with a cool lake/pond for swimming and
relaxing. In the evening we went to a concert on the Schloßberg. It was the
first of a series of classical concerts playing in the Steiermark throughout
the summer; it featured move soundtracks from a lot of older moves, the Lord of
the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. The next day I met up with an exchange
student from New Zealand, Jess, who was in Graz for a couple days. We walked
around and got caught up with everything that has been happening since EuroTour.

After two nights with my counselor, I stayed with
Sam and spent Sunday through Tuesday hanging out with exchange students. We
walked around the city, got things to eat, and spent time with one another. I
saw Man of Steel with Sam, Laura, and
an AFS exchange student, Lizze. Coolest movie I’ve seen in a long time! I had a
great time in Graz; it was a good last meeting together.

Johnny came to Knittelfeld on Wednesday, and we
spent the day playing clarinet and saxophone together, watching youtube videos,
and listening to music. He even came with me to my last clarinet lesson that
evening. All three of us did a couple of trios and took turns playing
individual pieces for sax and clarinet. It was a good last lesson, but I am sad
that they are over.
That is the very abbreviated version of the last
week or two. I hope to get back to updating more often again.
