Monday was a long, productive, and draining day! From 8am-noon, we were at school taking both our German and Humanities finals for the semester. Both went well; I'm usually too critical of myself anyway, so hopefully I did ever better than I anticipate. Afterwards, Sarah and I ventured out for a few last Vienna sight-seeing adventures. First, the Leopold Musuem, which houses one of the largest collections of modern Austrian art, featuring artists such as Gustav Klimt and Richard Gerstl. Our main priority was to see the featured exhibition on Edvard Munch. I enjoyed viewing his artwork even more than I assumed. Although he is most famous for "The Scream," some of my favorites by him include, "The Sick Child" and the "Weeping Nude." After time well spent at the Leopold, we went to the Opera House for an official guided tour, which was very interesting and informative. I've seen 4 performances at the Opera and I wish I had time to see 10 more :)
For dinner, 15 of us went to our favorite authentic Thai restaurant for Erin's birthday! I ordered my favorite: chicken pad thai. Then, on to Cafe Hawelka with Brett, Kirk, Matt, and Sarah to enjoy our last taste of their delicious/famous plum-filled pastries. We also began preparing for our German oral exam. The requirement for the second part of our exam was to prepare a 1-3 minute speech describing ourselves, our personality, family, friends, and hobbies. After a busy, but packed day of exams, museums, tours, eating, etc., I finished the night off by catching up on my blog and finished preparing for the next morning's exam.
Sorry if it seems like my blogs have gotten progressively shorter. There's so much I could say about each passing day, but time continues to escape me. Are you surprised? Me either :)
