Thursday

Im really sorry the last few days havent been more interesting. They will start to get more exciting in the next two weeks. Thats right people, i only have 2 more weeks here in Salzburg! I had German class, and then another lesson. It went really well, we worked on some of the opera and it went a lot better when i had accompaniment under me. So hopefully that is a sign that it will be fine. Then I practiced some more and then it was time for lunch. It was quite interesting. We had leberkäse. Look it up, its basically a hotdog loaf. I wasnt a fan. We got pizza afterwards, lol. Also apparentlz the mountain that the school is built onto, is known as suicide mountain, and yesterday there was a man that tried to justify the name. there were so many firetrucks and police. Eventually he was talked down, but it was interesting to think that there was a man above the school willing to jump to his death. weird. anyway. We attended a festival masterclass with Jürgen Flimm, who was a former director of the Salzburg Festival. It was interesting, he helped 2 of the singers stage a scene from The Marriage of Figaro. After that we went back to the college to meet up and then we all headed to the Augustiner, which is basically the Austrian equivalent to the Hofbrauhaus. So we had some amaying roast chicken and tried some of the beer, it was so bitter, i couldnt drink it. So we decided to go to murphys and get a better beer instead. It was some irish guys birthday, so he bought us drinks, which was awesome, but kind of backwards, haha! After that I hung out with my awesome suite mate and then headed to bed. More to come in the next few days. Im going to try and add links to different things in my blogs and try some pictures. So go back to previous blogs to check it out! Ciao!
