It's weird to think that I have only been in the city for a week. It feels like I've been here for a month, because home seems pretty far away. As a former camp counselor, I know that the best way to prevent homesickness is to keep the campers busy, so that's what I've been trying to do for myself. Still, when I'm sitting in my apartment on a Sunday, I can't help but think of my friends at DePauw and how they must be feeling after the first weekend on campus. I'm sure that as I get busy with classes and homework, and find a solid group of friends, I will start feeling at home in Vienna.
Here are some highlights from the week:
Monday, August 24th: Went grocery shopping, which is a pretty new thing for me. I bought bread, ham, cheese, jelly, peanut butter, cereal, milk, Nutella, and some fruit. At night I went to the Film Festival at the Rathaus, where they were showing Handel's "Semele," starring Cecelia Bartoli.
Tuesday, August 25th: Went to the Film Festival with Emily, Mark, Brianna, and a bottle of wine. We watched Prokofiev's "Cinderella" ballet.
Wednesday, August 26th: Went on a tour of the Kunsthistorisches Museum and saw a whole lot of amazing art. I'm excited to get a museum pass.
Thursday, August 27th: I sang fairly well at my Performance Workshop Audition, then went out with some friends.
Friday, August 28th: Started planning the week-long EuroTrip with Emily and Jorie. 7 cities in 10 days. So pumped!
Saturday, August 29th: Dil and his roommates had a dinner party at their apartment. Dil was dressed as a butler, and it was a fun night. Also, in the afternoon we had a bus tour of the City, and I added a lot of items to my Vienna To-Do list.
Sunday, August 30th: Today we're booking train tickets for the EuroTrip and going to the Film Festival (tonight's the last night) to see Tchaikovsky's "Eugen Onegin."
I love you all.
