Oh what a night
Apparently tonight was the night that everyone decided to party.... perhaps because so many people had tests today at school.....I don't know. I saw a huge group at the subway station on my way home, and I thought "well, at least they're going the other way...." As I walked up Eggerthgasse I saw two of my roommates, who said they were going out because there was "a huge group of people" in our room. Sure enough, as I walked in the door, this inebriated girl (who I vaguely recognized) looked at me and said "so're you readyda goout with us?" [sic] and I was like "um....no, I'm just coming home" I saw Nick (the only person in the huge group who actually lives here.... except for Hannas (sp?) who lives upstairs and practically lives here...) and he assured me that they would leave soon, which they did. They probably left 30 seconds or so after I got there, so at least now I'm alone! But to back up to the wonderful days I've had:
Yesterday was great! I had my actual audition (since only instrumentalists auditioned on Wednesday) which was OK.....I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of all the students here in the program.....I don't really know what I was expecting, but this is far and above my expectations. There are in fact four other male vocalists, two of whom I didn't even know were music majors! All of them sounded really amazing......really all the vocalists totally blew me out of the water. It's gonna be fun working with all of them! After the audition Mike and I decided to treat ourselves to Chinese food, so we found this Chinese restaurant on the Kärnterstrasse which was very, very good! I had chicken fried rice and Mike had pork lo mein. (I told him that he should call it "pork lo meinen!" ha ha ha ha ha)
After dinner I went home, where I saw JB. He asked me if I liked to sing barbershop, and I almost wet myself. I calmly replied that yes, I do like singing barbershop, and so we sang a couple of tags with Cabot and Nick. It was really really fun. I forgot how much I love singing barbershop. I added that I brought a book of book of barbershop stuff (published by SPEBSQSA) with me, so we sang a couple of songs out of the book. All in all, it was a hell of a lot of fun.
Today we had a German test, which was very easy. Mike was doing laundry at the institute (since he doesn't have a laundry machine at his apartment) so I waited with him while he did that. Afterwards we decided that rather than take advantage of anything that the city had to offer, we would have a small dinner at his place and watch the South Park movie and a few episodes of Sex and the City, which we did. His place is cute, but very small. It was fun to stay in one night and just have a gay old time. (I'm priceless!)
And that brings me to tonight, when the huge group of people was in our foyette. I wonder what strange and wonderful adventures to which they journeyed forth?
