Sorry for not posting for a while (for those who actually read this silly thing). I have been busy with school and whatnot here in Vienna. But now I'm in the week-long break between semesters and I am whiling away the hours with my beloved computer. The weather is rainy and so I can't go out and do my street music. Even if I had good weather I probably wouldn't do it as much as I originally planned because I stay up super late to talk to Hayley and sleep until the afternoon. I am okay with that because normally (in Provo and here) I sleep little and stay up late.
Right now my roommate and about every other person on this study abroad is on the road. They mostly in Italy (8 people) and a couple are in Spain, I think someone is in Germany. The only ones left here in Vienna are Anne, Leah, Emily, and me. I sorry for Leah, the only reason she didn't go with the others is because her ticket didn't come. Hopefully she'll be able to go somewhere else.
An update on the food...Charles and I found the greatest Döner known to man. It is a little place on the U6 called Kent. It's a real Turkish restaurant and it is worth it's price and then some. The kebap was only 3 euro and it was real lamb and it was seasoned to perfection. I was in some crazy Turkish version of heaven...maybe it was opium?! I'd do it again. I'm going to.
Well, tonight at FHE we had a good lesson by one of the missionaries and also there was a nice reflexology massage demonstration...and guess who the guinea pig was: Yours Truly! I enjoyed a little foot rub. Everybody else was too scared to offer themselves up. But the guy is a member and he is a professional. He was kinda scared that no one wanted to learn about it at the beginning because no one volunteered and when he started talking people started laughing. What he didn't know is that I (laying on the table behind him) made a scared face when he said that sometimes it causes some pain to have foot reflexology therapy done. He must not be very self-confident but that's ok. Afterward he talked to me (because I volunteered) and he is a really cool guy. He plays the guitar like a pro and sings really well. He likes blues and jazz and can play Sinatra better than Sinatra. It was amazing. So we're going to do a number for the talent show in a week or something. I also have a musical number to do next week in church. I am sight-reading it right now and it's not too hard but it goes up into 5th position (like all good violin songs) and that isn't the easiest to pull off when you aren't very practiced. Hopefully I get nervous enough to make my hand shake and then the vibrato will help me get into the right notes. :)
It's 3:11 am. I'm tired and need to take my contact out. I also need to exercise a bit before I go to bed. There is always so much to do that I forget to do during the day...gosh.
