Day 65

On Wednesday I woke up around 9:00 and got ready for class. This week for Austria in Context we were meeting at a museum to look at old models of the city to learn about its history and how it had developed. Our tour guide that had been scheduled to work that day had called in sick so Ruth, having gone on the tour about 30 times, did her best to give us the comprehensive city history. At one point we were following a group of what looked like 4th graders who were very knowledgable about the city’s history. After we got done at the museum I went to Haus Salzburg with Stephen to get my camera back before the start of Easter vacation. After that I went to the office to meet with Ruth about my classes. I officially dropped a german science fiction class that I hadn’t been going to because my schedule was too full. Also, I asked if I could audit my music theory class since it won’t be counting as credit at Wabash (I need a full Wabash credit music theory class for my minor). I'll have to speak with my professor about that. After I was done straightening out my schedule with Ruth I met Janaya outside and we walked to the hospital together to visit Anneke. She had been hospitalized the day before. After getting kind of mixed up at the largeness of the hospital we eventually found her room. We stayed and talked until Andrew, her brother, and a few of his friends came to visit as well. I headed back home. On the way to my literature class I stopped in a bakery and bought a half of a loaf of bread for about a Euro and a half. I enjoyed that before class. Class was as normal and, sadly, very boring. Dr. Eschenmüller is a very nice man who cares about what he is teaching, but he is just so boring. It’s bad enough having to sit through a boring class in English. In German it’s a lot worse. It took a lot of effort to stay concentrated on his lecture. After class I headed back to the dorm with Janaya, Andy, and Erica. I was in a mood to get rid of my food so I made rice, spaghetti, and fried up all of my veggies. Erica and I split this meal and used some of Janaya’s pasta sauce and much coveted sriracha sauce. It was a really funky concoction, but it was insanely good! After dinner I went back to my room and watched an episode of Friends. Then it was time for bed.
