Another Week In Review

I haven't blogged since my week end excursion to Prague! 
Talk about time flies when you are having fun! 

Monday, June 21
Arrived back to Vienna at 5:30 am, and back in my apartment around 6 am. I called my parents to let them know that Bridget and I made it back safely. I called Ruth because Russ wasn't off work yet, and later talked to Rachel and Russ on Skype. I took a nap, over slept, and I thought I was going to be late for class. Schedules were not handed out yet, so I thought that I had class at 11. Turns out, I didn't have class at all that day, so I came in for nothing. But, that was okay though. I got to spend time with friends in the city, so it worth it. :) Other than that, it was a pretty relaxing day, and I was able to rest from the week end. 

Tuesday, June 22
This was the day I actually had class. We started with my Vienna Street level class. Professor Ramey took us to the Anker clock. Every hour it plays music, and there are 12 different historical figures from Vienna that go around in a circle. It was neat to watch it. There were a lot of people around taking pictures and video, and I'm assuming that during the day it's like that every hour. She took us to Stephansdom while they were having tours of the underground of the church, and of the tour. It was really crowded, and only a few people are allowed up to the tour at a time, so I didn't go on the tour. I went to a costume shop with my friend Fiona, and then to a Catholic store with beautiful rosaries, and among other things. The group met up again for Viennese Composers class. Dr. Randal taught us about Schubert and his family. He took us to the church that Schubert's parents were married in, and his birth house. It was a long walk around the city, including public transportation, and walking. There was a fountain dedicated to Schubert that we saw along the way as well. The rest of the evening was free until our concert at 6 pm. The performance went really well, it was great! It was an all around great concert. I felt so accomplished playing with the flute choir, it is just a great group of people. I am looking forward to the next concert as well! :D I went home after that and crashed... so tired... 

Okay, well, I will have to hold off on the recap until tomorrow. I had a great day, but I'm very tired. I will write more tomorrow, I just need to get some sleep for the night. Bridget and I are having people over for breakfast, and I need to be up at a decent hour to get ready for that. After breakfast, off to the Belvedere Museum. :) Until tomorrow, take care and Good Night!! 

Love, 

Jenna
