She went to see a movie...

( Spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. )

I apologize in advance for how incredibly rambling and pointless this post is. I keep waking up at 5.30am no matter when I go to bed, and I am just trying to get my head together before I actually try to write this paper. It's not that I mind so much; I prefer to get up early, because when I sleep in, I feel like I've missed the best part of the day.

Also, the Schwedenplatz Eissalon is roughly the most delicious thing in the entire damned world. Really. Not kidding even slight. Their banana flavor is like some sort of terrifying Ur-banana: more banana than any real banana will ever be, and yet somehow still utterly right.

Eeeeeeee! In which the author is internally five.

There is a big thunderstorm going on in Vienna right now. It started out as a downpour, now it's just reduced to steady rain and utterly terrifying amounts of electrical discharge.

I feel very small and afraid.

I finished the essay today that I had had to put off when my computer got wet. I am also working on the presentation that I will have to make tomorrow. It is, unfortunately, the second of at least two on the same subject, so while most people are able to get away with just find one source and then reciting the whole damned thing back, verbatim, to the class, I will actually be trying to make something new and different out of mine.

(Also, the kids are just as bad at the presentations as the adults. They get up their, and basically read their report- at best, only some of them have eye contact and they do not read it in any interesting way, either.)
