Day 3




Something I've noticed from today is that I've already taken on a much more relaxed mindset. I allowed myself to sleep in to catch up on some much needed rest and then I took a walk by myself. Granted, I only walked down the street to purchase a bottle of wine, it was still nice to explore a little independently. When I returned to my apartment, I joined a group of friends and we visited a lavish summer palace to watch the sunset on a hill while enjoying some wine (pictured above). The palace included a beautiful garden and it made me wonder what living there would be like. I'm not even sure how one would fill 1,441 rooms, but hey, if there's a will there's a way. It was a very peaceful day and I'm glad I was able to appreciate such wonderful scenery.

Day 5

Today at a glance: 7:30 - woke up 9:00-10:30 - German 10:30-1:00 - ate lunch & organized my schedule 1:00-2:30 - Health psychology 2:45-3:30 - rode the tram home  4:00-5:30 - napped (essential)  6:00-8:00 - homework, cleaned, cooked dinner 8:00-10:30 - drank wine & talked with friends  I should mention that I switched out of 4:35-6:05 (Psychology and Society in Vienna) to 1:00-2:30 (Health psychology) so that I was able to be in the same class as all of my friends. Although I would have enjoyed the content of psychology and society more so than health psychology, I was smart enough to download all of the readings from the society course so that I can still learn about it! Yes, I know, I am quite resourceful. All in all, everything worked out and I am one happy girl!

Day 38

The majority of Sunday consisted of traveling back to Vienna. Anjali and I spent 9 hours on the bus ride home, but we made the most of it by working on our final papers for health psych. After we reached Vienna, I unpacked and took myself on a date. I walked around the first district until I found exactly what I was looking for - wiener schnitzel. I enjoyed my glass of wine, wiener schnitzel, potato salad, and last but not least, dessert! I may or may not have dropped €30 on myself, but who treats me better than myself? It was so lovely not checking my phone or the time and just being in my own company. Also, there was no way that I could resist this dessert...look at it. Just look at it. It was a night well spent, especially exploring the city afterwards :)

Day 41

On Wednesday, I appreciated one of the last sunsets on the roof by myself. It was one of my favorite views of the city. As the end of my trip neared, I felt a wave of emotions. Mostly sadness to be leaving such a wonderful city but excitement for the future (especially for a week in Italy with my mom)!
