Today was the first day of school.
School does not start until 8 a.m., but I got up at 4:47 a.m. because I could not sleep.
Hoping that my day would get better, I went into the shower and was greated by ice cold water. Beautiful. Nothing says “Guten Morgen” like a “Eiskalt” (ice cold) shower.
After a rather large breakfast, I caught the bus at 7:20 a.m. thinking that I would make it to school early … I walked into the class at 7:55 a.m.
School was rather boring since, like most first college classes, we went over the syllabus.
Class is supposed to end at 12:15 p.m., but the group was dismissed around 11:30 a.m. Almost the entire group took a walk down the block to the “Rathaus” (City Hall). In the square in front of the city hall, the group found a few vendors selling food so we stopped a while. After that we basically walked around the town a bit to see where things are. (We found the McDonalds.)
Austria is starting to feel more and more like Japan. Today it is probably 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and no one has air conditioning turned on. The bus from the city center was so hot that I got off and walked the last few blocks home.
I ended up coming home to an empty house around 1 p.m. I have homework to do, but like a typical college student, I do not feel like doing it right away … ah procrastination.
