Awnelricaru Field Seruvlice Experience is the key word for describing life as an AFS student. Though l've only been in Austria .two months, l've,had moreeadventures with life andplearningothan I would have had atf home intwo years. The differences in people, food, landscape, architecture, and activities ' l make for a full fascinating lifey but in order to get the most out of each day, one must adjust and adapt. at a dizzy rate of speed. Teenage lifeiis uiteeedifferentffin everything from education to alcohol. School, which allfv: students attend six days aweek, is taken more seriously because in order to attend the univer- sities Cwhich are free? the student must pass a comprehensive exam covering the last eight years.

Schools are smaller and more specialized and it's not uncommon to travel some distance daily by train to attendrthe school of your specialty. Classes stay together in the ,same room all day, creating a close-knit group of friends. 1 l ' i e Austrian ove for social gatherings usually means there is some fun going on somewhere: skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, dances, and formal balls. Almost all pop music is sung in English, even when they don't understand the words, and is enjoyed mainly by the young. Dance an classical music of all kinds are enjoyed by young and old alike. e l have learned by seeing how impossible it is to make correct judgements of people from a different background, by tasting the frustrations of total ignorance, by listening to words spoken to me as if to a small child, by feeling thesvalue of a friendly and helping hand , and through r these experiences I have grown in patience and understanding of all peoples. igowvff- 6579361 Heal.,
