Dear all who are keeping track,

Today I found out that I have a confirmed place in Klagenfurt, Austria! I am so chuffed! I was also offered a post in Vienna, but was told the way its all panning out, would be easier to send me to Klagenfurt! Only problem I have with there is that it will be difficult to get to from Newcastle, despite us both having international airports. Ive done some research and looks like its gonna be easier to get a flight to Hanover in Germany, and then one from there the next day to Klagenfurt and if I book it now, its will be cheap as chips. £2.99 before tax to Hanover and 5Euro before tax from the there to good old Klagenfurt.

I am really really excited, but at the same time I am absolutely cacking myself! Ive just been looking on the internet for apartments and stuff, which look pretty promising. People are looking for house mates and subletting all over the place. I'm going to ring the British Council tomorrow and find out where exactly I will be in the 6th largest city in Austria, so I can plan when I can apply for this flat, and how far its gonna be from the school etc. I'm really interested in sharing with some students over there. It'll be the deep-end for me and my german speaking abilities. Its like, if you don't try and communicate with them, you are just gonna be a hermit on your own in your room with facebook... well, maybe not that drastic.

Anyways... all this excitement is making me tired and Im going to bed.

Probably update tomorrow when I speak to the British Council.
