My First Day of School

is already not typical because it is 8am, and I still have 4 hours before my first class.  Making my course schedule is like choosing which toppings I want to put on my ice cream sundae.  School is my sundae, and this fall philosophy, theory, the classical symphony, and performance workshop will sprinkle it with goodness.

The trip ended well, and I only ended up getting lost in two of the three cities.  In Prague we rode the tram about 30 minutes in the wrong direction until we realized that maybe we didn't recognize where we were because we were going the wrong way...  Suddenly it was 3am, and we were on the outskirts of Prague.  The thing about the outskirts of Prague is that tourists don't go there, so they are ugly places.  Fortunately an intoxicated group of Americans (it felt just like home) approached the same tram stop where we were cowering and gave us directions back toward the center of the city.  Thank goodness for dunk Americans.  They always seem to show up just when we need them.  We asked two guys in Krakow for directions, too, but I don't know if they had been drinking or not because I was a block away trying to read a giant map of Krakow.  I always think that if I have a map and my impeccable sense of direction, there is no way we can get lost.  My mistake...

I have to go eat some Viennese breakfast.  I missed Vienna so much while we were gone, and I felt relieved when we finally got back.

My thoughts and love are in Wabash and at Grace College right now.  I love you all, and I wish I could be there with you.
