[philosopher101]

It was a warm friday night in september. I was on my way to Graz to meet the other afs participants staying in Steirmark. It was only Stephan and i in teh car. Stephan was my host-father. he was a smart man who had been speaking great english 25 years ago. that was when he knew Geoff a freind of his from England. when we arrived at the plaza. He explained that i would have to venture south down the platz untill i got to number 2 kloswertstraße. and that i wpould have to be back here to catch the number 32 bus to seiresburg and get home. They were good instructions it's too bad I couldn't remember them.

I wandered around Graz for about about thirty minutes, observign it's ihabitants. There were little kids playing tag in the street, a couple of old men with big coats playing chess in the park, and a strange woman being walked by her dog while she was concentrating on her eggsalad sandwich. Eventually however I made my way to a cafe where Sean and Sophie were sitting pensively waiting for everyone else to arrive. Sean was from Texas, sophie from New Zealand. We all knew each other we had been stuck in an agricultral boarding school for a week so we could a crash course in german and to get to now each other.

When it was about 6:15 Verena, an afs voulenteer aproached, and explained that the meeting wasn't till Seven. So we waited, for a while untill sevral arrived at once. including my new friend Jonas. We gotta talking discussing nothing important untill we turned to politcs. Of course in a situation like that i have speak my mind, and so Jonas, and I went on an epic brainstorming campaing, not a campaign a crusade really disscusing my rise to presidency. With Ralph Nader as my VP just so he could get in the white house.

At prescisly 9:00 two cakes apeared. Celebrating sevral birthdays. around the same time. Most notably Sean's who is now 18 as of today in fact. After every crumb was consumed I left with Sean and his possy. On a mission to get the only thing he really wanted, some good Tex-mex. So went to Chi-Chi's which somehow happened to be right next to we were all along. After Sean finished his Kabobs. We decided to venture a more social location. Which turned out to be a Gaelic Bar. But it was nice while we were there in the smoke filled tavern, disscusing, more politics, and talking with our waiter who was really cool and got us some special deals. However the time did wear-out and so I missed the number 32 bus, after I left the Bar and Got lossed. However i made a tram walked home, in the dark, and fell asleep.

It was a good day.

My... That's quite a bit for one day. You say the girl is from New Zealand? I really loved it there.

 

Well, I guess that's all I really have to say for now. Remember, be safe, never hitch-hike, and don't party too hardy. :P
