Faculty Concert and Colin Firth
Lunch at Billa: €1.68
Ticket for the Party: €3
Love Actually: Priceless
The day started out (as they tend to do on Mondays) with German.....pretty normal, except that I got to play the piano! It seems Birgit had brought in some Weihnachtslieder for us to sing through, and I was designated official pianist....I guess I'm the only one in my class who can play. It was fun, albeit a bit weird. (the song was cornissimo)
After German I got lunch with Mike at Billa (the ham and gherkin again) and went back to school, where I got a lovely surpirse: the package that Sue had sent nigh a month ago had just arrived! I was so exceedingly happy.....Gretchen and I immediately dedicated our evening to the watching of Love Actually, and there was much rejoicing.....not to mention all the fun I had with the nice big camera chip from CB and the little key ring hard drive from John (thank you ^_^) and I plan to watch the surprise DVD soon! After that I was off to AA&A and history, both of which were sort of blah. Gretchen and I played an excellent game of Exquisite Corpse during AA&A, but then we tried to play a couple more and they didn't work too well. There definitely seems to be an inverse proportion to quality and quantity when it comes to these games of EQ. Hm.....
After class I hung around IES until the faculty concert, which was very, very fun. Russell, Ulrike, Roger, and Barbara each played solos, Russell and Gerald did a four-hands thing by Ravel (La Mere d'Oye, original version), and Russell, Ulrika, and Roger did a trio at the end. They all did pretty well.....some were more communicative and gracious in their presentation then others (Ulrike in particular....she was AMAZING) but all in all it was fun, especially to hear what the faculty has to offer musically.
After the concert we all went out to Hietzing to Gretchen's apartment to watch Colin Firth, I mean Love Actually, with Gretchen, Mike, Josh (Gretchen's friend from home) and Kate. It was fun, except that Mike and I didn't catch the U-bahn or the first night bus, so we were out in the bitter cold freezing for about 40 minutes before the next night bus came....it was awful. Oh well. The rest of the day was awesome!
