First Real week of Vienna

So things have been pretty eventful this last week. Classes officially started last Wednesday, but I did not have most of them until this week.
Monday I have International Econ, which is in English and 4 hours long. When we got there (Stacy is in my class too) we could only find seats in the back and had resolved ourselves to sit in the front next class because he was talking so quietly that we could not hear him. Well like 30 minutes into class he asks if anyone is an American, so stupidly we raise our hands and then from that point on in the lecture he moves closer and closer to us all class, lecturing directly to us, until he ends up about 10 feet away lecturing to us as if it is our fault the American economy is failing. It was nice because we could finally hear him, but I think I am going to have study about 8 times harder than anyone else in order to be able to argue with him about things. After that I have a Music in Vienna course with the Central program. that looks like it is going to be a lot of fun, the prof is really cool and I think I'm going to learn a lot in that class.
Tuesday I have my internship from 9-5. Tuesday was okay because for a while they didn't have anything for me to do except for work on the computer, but my account wasn't set up so I couldn't do it. So I pretty much did busy work like filing things and reshelving books while IT set up the computer for me. Then I spent the rest of the time making pamphlets for my division in 6 different languages. It was pretty cool. After work I have my German Lit class with Central, I'm pretty stoked about that too. We are going to be reading a lot of different things and I am really looking forward to getting to read some actual German classic literature.
Wednesday is a very easy day for me. I don't have class till the afternoon, but I have what will be my hardest class, The Theology of Martin Luther, in german. I pretty much just sat there eyes terrified, mouth gaping the entire time, but the kid that sits next to me emailed me his notes, so that was helpful as I only understood about one tenth of what was going on. Now it makes more sense, and I really think I'm going to enjoy it.
Thursday we have our Austrian context course. In the morning we go out and do something in the city to experience Vienna, yesterday we went to the Museum of Vienna, it was alright. Nothing too exciting. I have my internship again in the afternoon where I spent the entire time typing call numbers on labels on a typewriter. It was miserable. I hate typewriters. After that we normally have the history portion of our context course, but our teacher was sick, so we didn't. So Pat and I tried to go to the music store across the street in order to play guitar and ukulele, but they were closed by the time we got there.
Friday is my wonderful day off and I already love this. 3 day weekends every weekend, so I can travel and sleep. whoo hoo! The only time I don't have Friday off, of course, is my birthday. I have my econ final and I'm already really angry about it. But today I am off to Schwabish Hall for the weekend with Nicole. I'm really excited to go back, I miss everyone there already and it's going to be a super fun weekend. It'll be nice to get a break with some friends after such a long week here. So we are off to gets some Burritoes and then to Germany!
love
