Donner and Blitzen ♫ dasher and dancer and...

I've discovered the library. Not that I'm a bookworm, but it is incredibly helpful for researching my essay. After a few days hiding in the politics section so I could open a window and enjoy the sun (if it was there, it mostly hasn't been) I discovered the Kuppelsaal. It's pretty :) This made a much better revision spot until I got chased out yesterday by people setting up mics and repeating "testing. eins. zwei. drei. testing." Of course there has been some teaching involved too. Nothing too exciting. 

I'm a little distracted. There's a thunderstorm going on at the moment. The rolling peals of thunder are immense and the lightening bolts are ever so slightly mesmerising. I opened my window and sat on my windowsill for a while. Little bit cold to stay there for too long. It was absolutely gorgeous today as well. I did some work outside, soaking up some rays. It was after I opted to sit in the big basket swing thing that work got put to one side. Much better to just lie, swing and enjoy the good weather no?
Last Friday provided a brief dry spell, long enough that I was able to carry out my tradition of reading a foreign paper by the lake. Some random guy started talking to me. He thought I was French. He ranted at me about how much better Austria is than France. I jumped at the chance to run away, meet Jesse and get my camera back. There's some interesting photos!!
We had a barbecue. How lovely :) Afterwards Raffi and  I went out. I came home with drawings on my arms. This has something to do with running into a bachelor party. The ink was kinda stubborn. The next day was also very lazy, but in the evening I set off in the pouring rain for Bludenz. There was some confusion over the plan, which resulted in me sitting unnecessarily in Feldkirch for a while. By the time I arrived it wasn't long until the last train again so I opted to just stay over. This involved catching the end of The Life of Brian in German (I've never seen this before) and being told off for not taking up enough of the bed.
After a good lunch and a bit of a gossip about the Vampire diaries finale, I made my way home. I ran into Xan at the station so he came to get his coat which had been sitting in my room since the police brought it round. My tiredness was making me anti-social so I spent the rest of the day as a recluse, maybe watching some TV. That is until my epic skype sesh with the Sherby ladies. We might be in 4 different time zones and have microphone difficulties, but we had a 3 hour catch up and it was amazing.
Which brings me to this week. Very few of the teachers seemed to know I was there this week so lots of my lessons have been cancelled or simply unable to be found. I could moan about turning up early to sit and around doing nothing but I won't. Especially when in the 4 classes I had today, I've done about 15 minutes of actual work. More time to work on my essay sitting in the sunshine :) or on facebook chat. One of the guys here told me to spend less time on that. Oops. I've also munched my way though a LOT of chocolate. It helps me study :D
