Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope all of you were able to spend some relaxing days with your families and loved ones and took the time to recover from the yearly Pre-Christmas stress!

I have spent a wonderful Christmas this year. It started out somewhat hectically with a lot of final exams and moving out of my apartment in Munich. As I will spend the next eight months abroad (Hungary and probably Austria), I no longer need my place in Munich. But as soon as all of that was over, Christmas started!

This year's Christmas I spent in Germany with my aunt, cousin and grandparents. After a fun Christmas supper and exchanging gifts (it's customary to exchange gifts on the 24th at night!), my cousin and I went out and partied all night long. Fun, fun, fun! The following day I went with my grandparents to Austria and spent the evening with my boyfriend's family. As it was his birthday on the 27th of December, we decided to celebrate it in Vienna. Therefore we packed up all of our friends yesterday morning and took a roadtrip to the capital city of Austria. During the day we were sightseeing - saw the Parliament, Stephans Dome, theatres and went to the famous Cafe Landtman. In the evening, we had supper at an Indian-Italian Restaurant and went to a club, called Kju in Vienna. The atmosphere was amazing, and the club was situated underneath one of Vienna's subway lines. So every once in a while you heard a subway car and felt the floor vibrating.

We didn't spend the night in Vienna though, and left the city to sleep at Clemens' school - which is in a castle :). He gave us a tour this morning and showed us pictures of famous generals of Austria.

And now we are back home, and ready to get working on internship applications and school work.

Update!

Sorry, it has been quite some time since my last post. The reason is that I have been quite busy with projects and exams lately. I have also returned to Austria a lot (as usual) on weekends. The past two times I went, I spent my Sundays in Wellness-Centers to relax from unusually busy weeks. Whirlpools, thermal water and Saunas are awesome!!!

This past weekend a whole bunch of my friends from Austria came to Munich to visit me! Yay - or so we thought.... the weather was really shitty! So there we were, 10 funny Austrians, walking through the streets of Munich towards the Christmas Market in pouring rain. And two smart ones among us decided to buy umbrellas, only to find out that it wasn't raining anymore when we left the store. Score! All in all it was a fun-packed day though, great food in one of the beergardens (Augustiner Bräu) and a great party later on that night.

Today I had a tough exam though - that brought my mood right down again. Oh well! And tomorrow I'll have a Finance meeting from 9 am to 7 pm. Wohoo student life!

By the way! Sorry for the lack of pictures lately. My camera had a little accident a few weeks ago and now I have to wait for Santa to bring me a new one.... So unless my friends provide me with pictures soon, you'll have to wait until after Christmas for new pics!

And now: Back to work!
