kitewithfishTuesday:
Went to class, posted about Bane but nothing really related to my real life. I had dinner at my place with Johanna and Colleen, which was an impromptu soup involving veggies and mixed fish bits. The high point of the meal was attempting to find the smallest whole squid so that we could all coo over it before snarfing it down. (What was I supposed to cook? I was stuck with a vegetarian, so meat was out, and one person who does not like fish or sushi. I did the best I could and it was fairly cheap. I expect to get fed by one or more of these people later.)
I also translated my bum into a sling.
Wednesday:
More translation, more bumming around. Not much done, but I did get most of that stupid translation thing done. Hateful, hateful stuff towards the end- legalese is bad enough in English, no one should ever be forced to move it from one language to another.
Thursday:
My bank transfer finally shows up in both the account it was sent from and the account it was sent to. I've paid off my credit card bill, finished the translation a little over an hour ago and sent it off to its rightful owner. I'm not sure how they're going to be paying me, but it's money, so I will not really fight them about how it come my way. I am now sitting in my room, my roomie is as usual gone off somewhere, and I am reading comic books. I still need to find out if I can use ATM's here on one of my US bank accounts, but that can wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to do reading unrelated to classes, reading totally related to classes, and hanging out with Wellesley people in Vienna. Life is busy, but good, and it is very likely that this weekend will involve a goose.

Also, goose?

And yeah. It's apparently a thing here. November 11th, you eat a goose.
