Renata
Here are a few pictures of my roommate, Renata, and myself. Don't we look like we're having too much fun? Renata is cool because she speaks German very well, and she is good at helping me all the time. She corrects me when I speak and I appreciate it very much since that is how we learn. (hey, don't get any ideas - this concept does not work for all you back home!). Renata is studying to be a medical doctor. She is in her last year and she is preparing for some tests and doing some of the last steps before she finishes next year. Her boyfriend's name is Matt and he is finishing his doctorate in philosophy in Boston at Boston University. He and Renata have been together 5 years (he had been here in Vienna and has a doctorate from the university here already!). Here is a picture of them on vacation this summer in the U.S. Matt's family lives in Minnesota - they visited there and also New York. Renata comes from Slovakia and she also has Hungarian descent. She is great and we have a lot of fun.
