My 15th Minute

Last we spoke I'd just hitting an unfortunate security guard in the face almost a month ago. Since then my time here has been quite the whirlwind of activities, and while I have had much more to report I've done significantly less reporting through my blog and almost none via email. Its too bad because I could use some exciting posts to balance out the ones about my socks and toothpaste. Partially because it'd be a lot to write (and read), and also because I've been rather partial to lists of late, I will now enumerate the awesome things that have happened in the past month or so that you should ask me to tell you about because...well...they were awesome.

Purely in Order of recolection
1) I went sailing on the Old Danube.
2) The EuroCup 2008 hosted by Austria and Switzerland. Its on going and getting increasingly crazier
3) Done with classes and mere pages of writing away from the end of the semester.
4)Bratislava
5) the Symphony. Twice!
6) More cool museum trips including one back to the Essl in the viennese 'burbs.
7) Schonbrunn Palace, and with it the completion of everything i wanted to be sure to do before i left vienna.
8) The farewell tour of bars, cafes and restaurants.

I return home in a matter of days and after a little bit of rest by the pool I'm moving to nyc for a little over a month. I hope to be tramping around New York much in the same way I've been tramping around vienna and the rest of europe which would theoretically mean this blog is still relevant but I haven't decided if I'll keep updating it. Probably not, but one thing I learned from Sean Connery is to never say never again. That and that "winners go home and..." you know the rest.

For now at least,
Tchuss!
