{This is a [Title]}

This weekend we are going to Zagreb. I am excited for this trip. It should be fun and I've wanted to go to further east ever since I got here. A lot of the people in our group travel to Italy and France and other places like that, but I just want to go to Eastern Europe. If it were easier, I'd go to Russia in a flash.

On another subject, I'm finding it difficult to focus on my school or get into a good studying routine. I've talked to some of the other kids and they said they feel the same way. I hope I get better at this, because I really do want to do well, I just can't seem to find the time or energy.

Tonight I made dinner at my friend Mellissa's. It was only pasta, but it tasted delicious. I also found some Milka cookies which were wheat and chocolate. They were grainy and delectable. I might become addicted... I've not eaten Milka since I've been here. Milka's slogan includes a purple cow, and I was told that some Austrians think that cows are purple, because they've never seen a real cow.

Today was the first day that it's been really cold here. I'm a little sad, but it will be nice not to ride on the smelly U-Bahns, like when it's warm. Apparently it might snow on Thursday or Friday, but maybe we'll be fine in Zagreb weatherwise.

Also, I'm going to Venice next weekend! I can't believe it and I felt a little rushed into it, but I guess I should take this opportunity.
