I have no idea what time it is.

I'm in a hostel lobby loving on the wireless internet in Vienna!  Hooray!  It took 24 hours to get here, and I just hauled my 50 lb. suitcase up six flights of stairs, but now everything is fine.  Hostels are kind of weird and strangely quiet given that this place is full of young, crazy people.  I met two strapping young men on the train who are going to my school too, and we are now calling ourselves Harry, Ron, and Hermione (my dream come true).  I swear it was JUST like the movie, guys.  We were on the train with our luggage talking about Hogwarts and all the great stuff that's going to happen this term.  I spoke German to a woman on a bench today, and Ron (who speaks German fairly well) got that embarrassed look on his face when you have to tolerate someone who is butchering a language but insists on using it nonetheless.  Whatever, Ron. She understood me.  I also made two new bffs on the plane today (or yesterday maybe) from Greece and Hungary.  I gave them my chicken and they gave me their vegetables.  I'm going to go shower it up hostel style now and go to sleep for a long time.
