the columns continue for austria

After a couple weeks off, school began again, which meant it was time for me to starting writing about Austria. The first few columns are about my preparations for studying abroad. My column on Sept. 26 will be the first one live from Austria. As for Cedric's well-being, he is anxiously waiting for me to leave, so his life's purpose can continue to be fulfilled. His bags are packed, his shoes are tied and he's ready to have his passport stamped.
