I'll Miss You, Stranger

So we are nearing the end of cleaning week and all the old staff and the couple of students that stayed to clean are all starting to leave. Most of them I have known for less than a week but I feel like I've known them forever! Even though I know the people who truly knew them will miss them so much more than I will, I'll still miss them anyway! New potentially awesome friends are always sad to lose. There is someone leaving everyday, except friday from today til saturday. After all that blood, sweat and tears that went into scrubbing down the all of Tauernhof, you feel somewhat bonded to the other people. It is certianly hard work and it makes you crazy tired, but if I didn't feel like I was getting a cold right now I would still feel perfectly content with it all. I could totally be a maid in a hotel after this experience. Yesterday I felt like Cinderella scrubbing the stairs on my hands and knees with a brush thing. It was awesome. I am also practicing and attempting to get good at Slack Lining (pretty much typerope walking) I got to 6 steps once! It is definately getting warmer around here. I think I got sunburned yesterday... Oh and we went out for these RIDICULOUSLY huge ice creams last night. Holy crap. I have eaten more Eis (German word for ice cream, smart I know! Just Ice. No Cream. :D) in my like week and a half here then I have eaten in the whole last 2 years at home. They really like their Eis here. We also jumped off 'The Rock' yesterday into the river of mountian water! It was so cold. Wow. But this group of older people walked by and started watching us so Anna and I put on a show for them. After the Eis the girls cut hair and the guys drank Schladmingers on top of the parking garage next to the school. Sounds dodgey. I know. Schladminger is the beer that is brewed here. After the hair cutting party the girls went up too and it was sooooo gorgeous. You could see the whole town from up there. And it was a great place to look at stars but it wasn't quite dark enough yet. OH! How could I forget, the old man that lives pretty much IN Taurenhof because he is so close told us to be quiet. Apparently he does that really often to the people who stay there. And he only knows one thing in English.. "Be quiet." Hahahah so really, why would he live there? Right next to a place that is full of loud, energetic young people. So after the parking garage.. a small group of us went over to the gondola place to check it out and we actually got to sit in one! It was awesome. And I learned that there is this place in Germany that serves you like a candle light dinner in gondola's. I know. I had a hard time grasping it as well. Well there are the extremely discompobulated accounts of my last couple of days. :D
