Day 33




Tuesday, I attended classes and went home to change for the opera. We waited in line and then secured our seats in the standing room. We had an hour before the performance began so we went downstairs for a snack and glass of champagne. The show was an incredible experience; there was so much pure and raw talent. Also, music is an integral part of Viennese culture so we had to experience it at least once. We left after the second act and bought kebabs and ice cream and walked around for a bit. It was a very good day overall.

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)!

Day 12

Yesterday was a busy, busy day. I woke up, attended classes, grabbed ice cream with friends, walked around the first district for awhile, and caught up on my blog while sitting on a window sill with a nice view. Following all of this, I attended a dance lesson with everyone to learn the quadrille for the Concordia Ball on Friday. I'm super excited for everything in store this upcoming weekend - exploring the pubs here in Vienna on Thursday, a day trip to Semmering on Friday, the ball on Friday night, a day trip to Bratislava on Saturday, and a visit to the Freud museum on Sunday!
