Lazy Day

In the spirit of not doing anything, I spent the day... not doing anything. Really. I think that the only productive thing I did all day was get my budget updated and talk to some people online. And, ya know, cook dinner.

Three weeks away from Vienna has gotten me all out of the loop. I need to figure out a few things before I go off for finals, such as how to register, and which of the professors I can talk into letting me take them orally or in English. I sort of know which ones I want to take, but that still means I have to get ready. And unlike Wellesley, you don't get a week off to study beforehand- you essentially go from taking classes to taking finals, and that's not something that I'm used to.

I'm also going to try and figure out my plans for the coming vacation. I don't really know what I'm up to, but I find that I want to go back to London to see Emmafriend, but other than that I don't know what I feel like doing. I think that I need to get some travel buddies, and soon, otherwise I'm going to end up stuck in Vienna with everyone gone. And while I doubt that would be the worst thing for me to do, I would like to get out of the city for a little.

Lost: Laser-like Focus

I've just come to the conclusion that having the winter vacation in the middle of my semester is probably a really, really bad idea for me. It puts my head into a place of "What, it's still Christmas time! You should relax and have fun!" This is clearly not the place I need my head to be.

Fortunately, things are not really yet dire, and I doubt my goofing off will lead to terminal distress in the long run.

Tonight the Wintersession-in-Vienna folks are coming down from on high (or from Wellesley, wherever) and we're going to do some hanging out. I must admit, that part of the appeal of this endeavor for me is a) talking to people that I have something in common with, and b) speaking English. The last couple of days I have been so Internet-suchtig (read: webaddicted) that I am beginning to think that I might be subconsciously hiding from the world. Or, not so subconscious, just maybe a little more about complete lack of motivation to do anything other than sit around and read.

But nothing perks me up like having a deadline. So, I will attempt to get some reading/ eating done before I head out to hang with the Swelles crowd, and perhaps some of them will be interesting cool people.
