Grüß Gott from Wien!
This will be a very crude post since I have very little time, but I want to make sure I don't forget what I eventually want to write about...please forgive me notes. Actually, you can just ignore this post. It's mostly just for my memory. And to let you know I'm still alive.
Monday - GLS stammtisch with Anne. iPhone broke.
Tuesday - phone doctor. Ballet Revolucion at Admiralspalast. Fantastic performance. I want to perform. ASAP. Note to self for when I return to Mpls. Possible writing idea: pet peeves of fellow audience members' behavior.
Thursday - didn't go to school. Instead, accompanied field trip of Barbara's 5th grade art class of 27 students to Hamburger Bahnhof, museum of contemporary art. Fantastic day! Spoke German and English with the students. Super impressed with their creativity, intelligence, cleverness, imagination, and innocence. afterwards, late lunch at Italian restaurant in Buch with Barbara.
Friday - frühstück mit Rätsel in class with Jeremiah! Crazy man teacher for second block. Wanted to punch him. Also wanted to punch old man as I was biking home from the train station ("kein Rad Weg") and shakes his finger. Get a life...flight to Vienna to meet Jim and Andi! Fantastic people. Love their house.
Saturday - busy day in Vienna! Saw stephansdom, st michaels kirche, met daughter suzanna and her two friends for lunch at traditional Austrian restaurant. Had Weiner schnitzel. Saw hofsburg palace with Spanish riding school (horses). Multiple kristkindlmarkts, Naschmarkt, had glühwein. Went to staatsoper with Jim. 3 euros for stehplatz! In Italian, but I read the German subtitles :) stopped by outside of karlskirche. Votive kirche.
Sunday - schloss schönbrunn. Kaffee trinken at cafe zentral. Had famous sachetorte, chocolate cake with apricot jam. Yum! Belvedere - visited museum exhibit. Learned about gustav klimt, schiele, and another guy...must look up names. Saw hundertwasserhaus - so cool! Should google a picture of the inside. State subsidized housing. Interesting convo about learning disabilities and college degrees/job placement/legal matters.
I have sooooooo much to learn. I want to read more. I want to learn more languages. It's so fascinating to be around people who speak in two languages within the same sentence, with no problem. I love it and am so impressed. I want to do that.
What sort of life do I want to have? What do I want to be when I grow up? How can I have enough money to live and still do things like read, travel, and perform?
What do I need?
