Well, I looked at my last post and realized it was severly lacking. I also looked at my plane itinerary and saw that I leave (and arrive) on Sunday, not Saturday. This is wonderful news, a whole extra day! I had this day all along, but had forgotten, so the joy remains untainted. 
School is over.
Let me repeat: School, is, over. 
YAY! No more homework, no more deadlines, no more practicing, no more obligations. Thank God I survived, I realize this outcome was never in true doubt by my loyal readers, but I doubted on several occasions. The most recent being this morning.
The concert has passed, people were enthusiastic, I actually enjoyed myself. I have always enjoyed group performances more than solos, that is my way, and why I am looking for an orchestral position when I grow up. 

Today was busy, and it's not over yet. So far I've taken a German test (and for the life of me couldn't remember that "to read" is "lesen" with an 's'), and participated in four songs in a concert, have I ever told you how much I enjoy duets? I really like them. The other two violinists here played the Bach Double (remember that one, Mom?), and I was so envious in the beginning. I have always wanted to play that piece, and I will someday, I swear it. There was also a duet by two of the sopranos here (that is all we have, actually), sopranos and basses are my favorite sound areas. I learnt this at school. Tenors just aren't enjoyable to me, but I do like altos. This is relevant because in the concert I played in four pieces, and, as I've mentioned before, in two of them I played the viola part. 
Mother, you and I can play duets to your heart's content because I can read alto clef reliably now. I want to try to read it with a viola, that will be interesting.
Not only did I do those things, but I also went shopping for souvenirs. (Ahh, grammar.) I have now bought everyone but Mother and Julie something. Guys! Help me out here, anything ya'll want? There is some good chocolate, but I refuse to bring back liquor because I'm underage until August. Anything composer-related I can do, I've already bought Mozart chocolates.
I have bought many postcards, and a few CDs. IES gave us T-shirts, and the large fits me rather snugly (are all sizes here smaller?). 
Speaking of underage, I bought a mojito. In a bar. Notice the verb there: "bought", and that is the first bar I've been to. I did have a bit of it, but it tasted like sweet and minty mouthwash. Actually, a friend of mine drank it and paid for it, so I didn't even buy it. Notice the guilty overabundance of detail. Yep, sorry, guys. I did think as I sipped it that I would much rather have sugar than alcohol. Guess I'm not cut out for one of our family traditions, after all. I'm kind of relieved, I thought that disliking wine might be a fluke, but all alcohol tastes the same, according to my limited experience. 
So, after the bar, I went and got ice cream. Much better.
Now, I think I shall go and do something touristy, the Prater, perhaps. And what shall I do with this extra day?
