Today I was up at 7 am ( if you know me at all, you know that is freaking early for me, haha). I had breakfast in the dining room, and it is all traditional austrian breakfast food, so no fruity pebbles here darlin'. Me and my suite mates went to Old Towne today and we wanted to find the college and what should have been a ten minute walk turned into an hour excursion, filled with asking locals for directions in broken German and being sent the completely wrong way, haha! Then we finally found the right place. Then we went out exploring, and man did I break in my new tennis shoes! Then we ate lunch at this really cute, hole in the wall type place, and i had the best pasta i have ever had in my life! Then we were thoroughly orientated to the program and to the city. It is shaping up to be an amazing summer and we found out that our opera tickets and festival tickets are amazing, and even more exciting, we will be seeing Anna Netrebko sing Juliette in Romeo and Juliette!!!!!!!!!! I am more excited than you even know! After orientation we went to the grocery store and bought some really cheap water bottles, and then headed to dinner with a group of fantastic people. I think i am going to spend all of my money on bottled water! I love being around other people that love music and especially opera as much as I do!!! And I also found out today that i have a free weekend, and a group of us may be traveling to Greece or Venice! Well, it's only 7 pm and i am about ready to pass out! If this is any indication of the rest of the summer, it is sure to be an eventful one. Tomorrow is our faculty audition and all of the faculty are fantastic and i am so lucky to get to study with any of them. Check back later for more!
