Well, another week has flown by and I really do not know where it went to! Lots of reading for Psych and Euro Cites (neither of which are getting any better with time!!!) and getting plenty of positive feed back from German and Holocaust Lit. I am getting quite use to Austrian life though. On Friday Keri, Jamie, Anna, and I went to a cafe close to my house and had a lunch before going to my place to read "The Throne of Straw" for Holocaust Literature.
Then, I checked off one item of my Bucket list as I made my way to my first club! Not really that big of a deal, but I had a great time and didn't even have to have a sip of alcohol! Keri did our make up and then we headed to a place called the Loft which was ok. It was Katie's 21st birthday so we all went and danced together. |
Kayla was hilarious and so much fun that I cannot wait to go out dancing with her again. Another great part was that Shobha, our host sister, met up with us there. It was nice to see her in a more fun situation. The music upstairs was lame and just before we left we checked out the down stairs. IT WAS AWESOME!!! There was a dubstep DJ and the lights went with it so well, I wish that we had gone down there a lot sooner because by that time my eyes could not stand anymore smoke. So, we headed home, took a quick shower and then headed to bed.
On Saturday Keri and I made a good old American breakfast, omelet with cheese and ham and then we went to an Aida to do homework. While there I simply had to get a hot chocolate and, trying something new, a Schwarzwaelder Kirschtorte. I really picked it due to Young Frankenstein, but it was actually really good so I am glad that I did! I feel as though I am going to have tried so many cakes by the time I get back, but I am ok with it. : ) | Then around 4 we headed to the Volkstheater to see "Faust" for 4 Euros! Yes it was standing room and yes we did leave at intermission, but I will gladly go to one that I have more interest in as there were screens that translated the opera into English for you. Anyway, Keri and I headed back to my place and watched "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" which I am so underwhelmed by. There were so many points that could have been developed or played up more that it was more depressing in how poorly it was made than the ending. |
Today, Sunday, Keri and I headed to Saint Augustina Kirche to listen to a Mozart mass with Ute and Gilles. Afterward, they invited us to get coffee with them (they are so great!!) I did end up getting a melange, sachertorte and a hot chocolate (with much provoking from Ute). The best part though was the intellectual discussion the four of us had. The things that Ute makes me think of just motivates me to create. For example, I want to either create or find a course that is about the psychological techniques surrounding the Holocaust. The prospect of this opportunity just makes me excited.
