My Addiction to the BBC

     Waltraud is going to take the tv out of my room next week to use in another apartment, and it is such a good thing.  I have unlimited access to the BBC while I am in Austria, and it is bad news for my productivity.  Tomorrow I have a theory midterm, but I just can't muster up the resolve to study for it.  I know this is probably knocking some of you off of your chairs*.  I, Katy P. Merriman, am not studying for a test...until tomorrow morning, that is.  To procrastinate today I went to a voice lesson and saw Warten auf Godot (Waiting for Godot. Best play ever!) at the Burgtheater with my friends Abraham and Rachel.  IT WAS SO AMAZING!  It was auf Deutsch, but I understood most of what was going on.  The set design and lighting were so beautiful and just perfectly suited the play.  I was so impressed and probably watched the whole thing with my jaw on the floor.
     Yesterday I went to a heurigen, and it was so beautiful that Kyle literally closed my mouth because I was gaping.  He just reached out and pushed my jaw up with his pointer finger, and I snapped out of the stupor I was in.  A heurigen (probably not spelled correctly here) is like a tavern where you go drink wine in the middle of vineyards and eat food and socialize.  It was super fun.  I also danced my pants off last night at a club.  It's funny how you don't really need to be intoxicated to act like a fool and enjoy yourself with other drunk people.  I had my first red bull last night.  I don't know what possessed me to drink that disgusting stuff, but I did. We learned that I am too hyper to begin with to drink red bull.  I was bouncing off the walls until the wee hours of the morning!  Oops!


* In German you say "es haupt mir ja vom Stuhl!" It knocks me off my chair! Oh German idioms... why do I even really need to know you?
