Oh, how I loves me my tests

We had our first test in German class today....I'll find out how I did tomorrow morning. I think I did OK, but I can't be sure. It was the kind of test that was comprised almost exclusively of questions from past homeworks, so now that I know how to study I'll certainly do better on the next one. For some reason, after doing really hard preposition stuff, we've backtracked all the way back to subject, direct object, and indirect object, which are ridiculously easy in German. What's hard is the declension of all the cases, which we already had to do with all the prepositions. Whatever. Afterwards I went home and made an awesome tuna sandwich with these really good (and really cheap) rolls and €79 tuna from Hofer. Mayonnaise comes in a tube...I had to choose between 20% fat and 80% fat......I chose the 20%. I also got another, smaller tube, of a substance which I had to guess was mustard.....luckily I was right. After having the sandwich I was still hungry, so I made myself another sandwich with lunchmeat and this cheese I bought which comes from Mariazell....the cheese is okay, but it's strangely sharp and tangy in a way I'm not used to......it's kinda funny, but it adds a nice texture and taste as long as I don't taste it directly.....I then went back to the Institute to go to a lecture that the art history professor, Dr. O, was giving about seeing art in Vienna. It was pretty cool, and I learned that if I take the Austrian Art & Architecture class that I want to take, I'll get a museum pass which gets you into all the public museums for free! (Amanda had mentioned this, so I was glad to know that I, too, could capitalize on this opportunity...plus it looks like an awesome class) Private museums like Albertina and Leopold still cost money, but apparently it's not too much. After the lecture Mike, Kate, and I went to the "Building of Fun" on Kärtnerstrasse, which is a major north-south pedestrian avenue that runs through the center of the city and right by IES. Basically, the BOF (as it's called) is a CD/DVD/Video Game store....we browsed their CD collection, which was nice, and a whole barrel of cheap CDs.....we each bought something; Kate and Mike got some great deals on the bargain stuff from the barrel, while I (under Mike's advice) bought a Florence Foster Jenkins album.....yeah it's hi-larious. (I'd never heard of her......Google her name to find out more about her) It was marked as €10.99, but for some reason she looked at it, opened it, looked at me and said (with a rising intonation) €2? So I nodded, and paid €2 for it. I guess it was because it had already been opened??? I really couldn't say.....perhaps it's just because she knew how AWFUL it is.....yet so hi-larious.....yet so awful......yet so delicious.

Anyway, I went home to have dinner with my roommates....they made ribs and potatoes, but the ribs had way too much fat on them.....they were delicious (Brad's a really good cook), but almost impossible to eat since more than half of each piece was inedible. Now I have to stop avoiding work and do my silly German homework. What adventures await me tomorrow?
