Yesterday Mom & I went out and saw the Hofburg. I have to say, I was not terribly impressed. Maybe if it was the only palace you had seen, it would be a good start. It had a lot more history than the others did what with the Sisi museum and all, but it fell flat compared to Schonbrunn, Versailles, all that good stuff. Nevertheless, we saw it. I think Mom enjoyed it. Last night we just hung out and I made spaghetti for dinner. This morning I took her to the airport. She should be on the plane by now. I hope she enjoyed her trip...it was fun to be the first one to show her Europe and where I've been living. We crammed a lot into a week - I think she tried every traditional "Austrian" food and drink that they have to offer. It sucked a little because I had a cold most of the time she was here, so I felt like my head was full of stuffing. Ironically, I really started feeling better yesterday. Oh well.
Well, this is what we call "reality check day." I have to buckle down now and work on my paper. I am getting 3 credits for this research, I have to put in enough work to justify the credits. The research is done, but I need to start plowing through the first draft so that I can get it edited either before Sara & her brother get here December 2nd or while they're in Dublin. I register on Monday (I have to keep track of the time - I register at 12:45 CST, which is 19:45 here) - it will be so strange to get back to classes. Even more strange because my history with school hasn't been just as a student, it's been as a part time working student. This will be an interesting experience - 10 credits & no work? What will I do with all this time? Study for the bar or something?!?!
