Back to Blogging: Catching Up, Studying, and a Chill Day in Vienna

Image
I haven’t been posting lately because my laptop was in for service – the display wasn’t working anymore – but now I’m back to posting daily blogs. Since my last post, I can’t say that a lot has been happening, but I did go to a Halloween party and to a Spritzerstand with some friends from back home. A good friend of mine also came to visit Vienna and stayed for four days. My parents visited as well, so I spent some time with them, visiting museums and doing some shopping. Today was a pretty uneventful day. I woke up at 1 p.m. because I couldn’t sleep well last night; not sure why. After I got up, I went to do my groceries since I was pretty hungry and my fridge was empty. I went to Lidl, as it’s one of the closest and cheapest stores around here, picked up everything I needed, and headed back to the dorm. Once I got back, I made myself some eggs with avocado – kind of a combined breakfast and lunch. After eating, I watched my series for a while and FaceTimed some friends from Munich. I...

City Strolls, Gym Goals, and a Surprise Maybach Sighting: A Chill Day in Vienna

Image
Today was a pretty relaxing day. I woke up at 11 a.m. and helped my sister with her work. We had to go to a nearby shopping center to buy and carry some pumpkins for an event that involves pumpkin carving. Afterward, I went to the gym to work on the punching bag and do some cardio. Once I finished at the gym, I ate some leftover pasta from last night. After eating, I went out for a walk through the city and visited the National Library. When I arrived, there was an exhibition of military vehicles, and right next to it was a parking lot with at least eight Maybachs and even a Bentley. I saw some other really nice cars along the way and made a TikTok out of the videos I took, which you can check out at @victorinvienna. When I got back to the dorm, I watched my series and later met with my sister for a chat. Afterward, I returned to my room, took a shower, and went to bed because I was really tired, and tomorrow I need to study for university.

Powering Through: A Day of Skipped Classes, Pesto Pasta, and Marketing Magic

Today I woke up at 8:30 a.m. because I had a class that started at 9:45. I was really sleepy, but I managed to arrive on time. After that class, I had another one at 11:30, but I skipped it because it's really boring and the classroom is always hot, so I preferred to look over the PowerPoint at home. On my way back to the dorm, I stopped to do some grocery shopping and then headed straight home. When I got to my room, I made myself a sandwich and went back to bed because I was exhausted. I woke up at 4 p.m. and returned to university for a class that started at 4:45, which I really enjoy. It’s about marketing, and the teacher is great—he knows how to make his presentations interesting for the students. Afterwards, I went back home and had a chat with my sister. Then, I cooked some pasta with pesto sauce for dinner, which turned out really delicious. After eating, I did the dishes and went to bed to watch my series and relax a bit.

Steak, Study, and a Quick Sweat: A Chill Day Before Tomorrow's Grind

Image
Today I woke up at 11 a.m., ate some breakfast, and started working on some homework that was due by 11:55 p.m. My only class today started at 3 p.m., so after finishing my homework, I headed straight to university. There are only 17 people in this class, and I was lucky enough to be in the same class as my friend. We stayed at university until 5:30 p.m., even though the class normally lasts until 6. After class, I went back to the dorm, where I met with a friend who came to my room, and we had a great chat. Later, I cooked myself dinner because I was starving—a steak that turned out delicious, with some avocado on the side. Once I finished eating, I cleaned the kitchen and then went to the gym for a short workout, as I was already feeling pretty tired. After the workout, I returned to my room, took a shower, and went straight to bed because I was exhausted and have class tomorrow at 9:45 a.m.

From Classes to Prater: A Day of Uni, Freebies, and Late-Night Chores

Image
Today was a pretty full day. I woke up at 10 a.m. because I had my first class at 11:30. I packed my backpack, took a shower, ate something quickly, and headed straight to university. One thing I really like about uni is that every morning there’s always someone handing out freebies. Today, for example, there was a group giving out Spezi and another group offering a vitamin drink. After my first class, I went with my friends to eat at the uni diner, which was quite affordable and surprisingly not bad. My second class started at 3 p.m. and lasted until 6 p.m., but we had a break after an hour and a half because it’s hard to stay focused for three hours straight. At 6:30 p.m., my last class of the day began and went until 8 p.m. By then, I was completely exhausted and starving, so I went straight home for dinner. After eating, I did the dishes and went for a walk through Prater Park to take some videos, which I posted on my TikTok account (@victorinvienna). I got back home around 10 p.m....

Late Start, City Strolls, and Prepping for a Productive Week

Image
Today I woke up at 1 p.m. because I went to bed pretty late, having met a friend yesterday evening and stayed up until 3 a.m. together. When I woke up, I didn’t eat anything right away and instead started working on some homework that was due by 11:55 p.m. It took me about an hour and a half to finish it. Afterward, I went out to do some grocery shopping because my fridge was pretty empty. When I got back, I had a bowl of cereal with milk, and after eating, I washed the dishes since they had piled up a bit. Around 6 p.m., my sister called to ask if I wanted to do something together. So at 6:30, we went for a walk around the city and stopped by a church. We also strolled through a park near our dorm, which was quite nice, and I was surprised to see so many people running despite the cold weather. When I got back to the dorm, I started writing this blog post. Once I finish, I’ll head straight to bed because I have university classes tomorrow and need to be well-rested.

Lazy Day, Sushi, and Schnitzel: A Chill Evening in Prater

Today was a pretty uneventful day. I woke up at 2 p.m. because I didn’t sleep well last night. When I woke up, I wasn’t in the mood to cook, so I ordered some sushi, which was really good. After that, I tried to do some homework but quickly realized I was too tired, so I ended up watching a series instead. At 5 p.m., my sister called to ask if I wanted to go out with her and her friend for dinner. I didn’t have anything better to do, so I went with them. We all met up at 7 p.m. in the dorm lobby and headed to a nice place in Prater to eat. I had Schnitzel with potato salad, which was delicious. We had a nice chat, and afterward, we went for a walk through Prater. When I got back to the dorm, a friend messaged me to meet in the lobby for a chat. We talked about all sorts of stuff, but after about an hour, we were both tired, so we headed to our rooms and went straight to bed.
