kitewithfishFirst of all: I really love this song, though it confuses me. It kind makes me want to dance and gyrate and do other random happy things.
Second: I am packed! Or, at least, I am almost totally and completely packed and I have only a few more things to do, which are mostly things that have to be done at the last second, such as throwing out my few last remnants of food and taking my shampoo from the shower. But the room looks as naked and spotless as it was when I entered. It's a little weird but nice.
Third: I am not feeling any particular nostalgia about leaving Vienna. It was a great experience, my German is greatly improved, I made my vow to someday live in Berlin, but it was a thing that I was always planning as temporary and I don't mind it staying that way. Getting back to the suburbs does not fill me with overwhelming glee, but it does come with my family and stuff like that. I am going to see a lot of my friends this summer- making a point of it.
Fourth: I have no idea what to write about for today. Apparently my story yesterday freaked my mother out, but..., well, she's slightly prone to that with regard to certain issues, like her children.
Fifth: Spain and Germany are playing in the Euro Soccer Championship, which means the city is now full of happy, loud people on whom I can eavesdrop. I blame the Germans for the fact that my two-step flight from Vienna to London to Boston got changed to a three step flight to Hanover then London to Boston. The Germans will be fleeing the city after the game, I suppose. Though I don't know how many will be on my flight- it's kind of early for them, really. I suppose they will be out partying late.
I am also presuming that the Austrians are divided between rooting for the Germans (shared language, cultural points, huge inferiority complex though) versus the Spanish (who are not German. That might very well be enough for some Austrians.)
Beanie out.
