"it always feels like i'm waiting for something"

so i realized that i hadn't written anything about vienna in a while. this blog is listed as an expat blog about life in vienna in the expat blogs website, so i might as well.

vienna is fine. rainy but not so cold. but it's not all spring like, like it was in march.

i think they are closing down the international development studies at the university of vienna, so students have been protesting and occupying auditoriums of the main building since thursday. a lot of courses have been cancelled at the moment because they can't go into the auditoriums. oh and the library is also closed. i'm supposed to take a book back on monday so i don't know how that's gonna work out.

i went out and got pretty drunk last night. well in my defense, it was friday! i met up with a friend and his friends. after having downed bottles of magners in the most popular irish pub in vienna, we went to this bar called "traveler's shack". i hadn't been there before, it was full of "foreigners". people were dancing on stuff. it was a lot of fun, i wanna go there again.

models feat. the moderator
mimie took me to a designer awards event a few days ago. she wrote my name on the list so that i could go inside the VIP area, stand around with the high society of vienna, watch the fashion show while drinking free wine and enjoying complimentary asian food. it was such a highlight for my life, since normally the most VIP place i go to is the library. and even that is closed now!! anywhooo.. after the show, the models came and hung around. they were all soo young, around 20, unlike most of the guests. i had wine and a mini catch up session with lovely mimie.

there is a busy week ahead of me. yikes!!
