After a rainy day of class, how much better could it get than cafe central and a nice warm spicy black chai? Studying for my final that takes place far too early tomorrow!

Earliest I've woken up being here. Took the exam. Not easy. Not impossible. Let's say I haven't taken a history test in about three years.
Returned home and took a nap, on my way to my final class before the weekend! It has rained the past two days down in the city, but the mountains are covered in a lot of snow again!
Best quote I've heard in a long time.
"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."
So apparently each Friday at three pm the church bells ring symbolizing the time and day Jesus died. Our professor was in the middle of explaining to us that in Japan they ring bells for class even at the Universities. Then a few minutes later the church bells ring in the city which was ironic. There was a lot of laughter and an Austrian explained why they rang the bells at this time as mentioned before. A student in class didn't fully hear the explanation and said "Wait..... Who died??" I couldn't contain my laughter.
Got a few necessities at the store after class and will run and go out with friends tonight.
Bad Taste party. Don't even know how to explain how much fun and ridiculous this was! Basically wear the most ridiculous thing possible. Done.

Jumping up and down. Pick up Pierre, he decides to do a flip. We all fall down. Hysterical.

Sleep. Wake up. Go to ikea. Play ping pong. Take a two hour nap. Make dinner. Play cards all night with friends. Attempt to sleep at midnight. Fail. Watch Modern Family. Attempt to sleep. Fail. Eventually fall asleep at three.

One of the best days yet! I keep saying this. Woke up at seven thirty. Went over an hour outside of Innsbruck to Obergugl ski resort. One of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life.

Managed to only fall a few times, mostly because I went too fast at times! No one could believe it was only my third time skiing. Did blue and red slopes all day.
Had lunch up on the top. Karen and I managed to have free meals. Free pasta, pizza, hot chocolate and gluhwein.

Back to skiing with a full stomach and more confidence. Did Matt do jumps? Multiple times? Yes!!! Too much fun. Fell a few times at the end because I couldn't stop doing jumps. Hysterical. Ate some snow. I was thirsty so it worked out just fine. Hahah!
Back home to make dinner and get some rest. Alpine tourism class this week!

ReplyDeleteLeah- Well let's just say, yes I did have this clothing with me! :) Hope my blog is overwhelming in a good way! I see those shirts everywhere! No kangaroos in Austria! Didn't I post a picture on your facebook wall? Enjoy reading your blog as well!
