Home sweet Dorm

With the first week of classes over, the UP students on the Salzburg Study Abroad Club decided it was best to not travel just yet. We hung around the center and went out to explore the Salzburg nightlife.

The sun made an appearance on Thursday afternoon, so I went for a stroll through Altstadt with some friends. It's really nice there, with little shops and a market where they sell touristy hoo hahs and whatnot. I had an Amaretto ice cream cone, and it was ASTOUNDING! Thursday night held in store another trip to Altstadt, in search of clothing stores. It ended at Murphy's Law Pub--an Irish themed bar where the most important rule is to not speak German. An innocent "Danke" taught me that as I bravely took a shot of Irish whisky. Uck.

We walked back to the center and watched "The Italian Job." It's really a comfy place to hang out. I like the center...Actually, during this weekend, I have caught up on my Disney movie viewing for the year...with The Little Mermaid, Alice in Wonderland, and Beauty and the Beast under my belt, I feel I may can't go wrong, right?

On Friday, we went to an Ikea store and I bought an alarm clock. I know. So exciting. Then, we had tastey frozen pizza that made me happy. The guys had a night out--the girls had a night out--and we ended up in the same place. Go figure. I danced a bit, but the place was so smokey and crowded. After that, some of us hung out on my balcony...and almost watched the sun rise.

Saturday and Sunday were fairly slow. I got a start on some homework and reading for this coming week. I know I'm in this exciting place and everything, but school is still school and homework is still homework.

Next weekend, however, we're going to see The Barber of Seville in Vienna. That should be fairly awesome. I hope that post will be more informative. So...until next time...

Aufweadersehen!
