The last week I was in Vienna, Austria with my literature class, wow. I don't know what expectations I had before the trip, if any, but they were definitely off. I had expected a city like Zurich, but in a way it was more like Rome. I got a great sense of the culture and mentality of the 19th century (under Hapsburg rule), and now understand what inspired the works of the authors we read about in class.
The trip was really fun, I liked the size of our group (10), so that when sick of one person, I could hang out with another. One night we saw a play written by Arthur Schnitzler called Reigen. It was pretty funny and halfway through we saw a pair of boobs, which was pretty shocking. Other nights we sat in the park by our hostel and played cards. The weather was perfect every day, and I might have even gotten some color!
Now I'm back in my room, a little tired. I have many tasks at hand, that I'm lazy to start... tomorrow, right?
