I suppose this would be a good first post. One where I mention my trusty notebook and talk about how I'm hoping to not make a total fool of myself in Vienna.

my notebook is already a major part of me, I guess. I use it for all sorts of brainstorming, designs, and memory saving. I bought this one to keep my German vocab and the basis of my blog posts in, but I've already used a few pages because I couldn't resist.

Other irresistible actions included adding stickers to my little notebook (see below). He still needs a name, though--any suggestions?

Front of my nameless notebook.
The stickers are prizes from some Botan
rice candy. (Note the USA one, haha)

Back of notebook. These stickers
were on sale at walmart for $0.75! 

                       

Bonus: My back cover German cheat sheet-just in case.
