Late-Night Laundry, Missed Classes, and a Disappointing Event

Last night, I didn’t go straight to bed. Instead, I realized that almost all of my clothes needed to be washed, and I had nothing to wear today. So, I went downstairs to do my laundry, which took an hour. While waiting, I watched my series, then put my clothes in the dryer, which was supposed to take about 40 minutes. After that time, I went to check, but it needed 10 more minutes. I waited again and checked, but it needed 15 more minutes. At that point, I gave up and went to bed at 5 a.m., telling myself I’d deal with it in the morning.

I set an alarm for 10:30 a.m. because my first class was at 11:30. However, at 9 a.m., some electricians knocked on my door to check the sockets in my room. I barely heard them, so I didn’t respond. Thinking no one was inside, they entered, and I woke up confused. After explaining what they were doing, I just went back to sleep and let them finish.

When I woke up again, I realized I was too tired to go to my first class, so I skipped it and went straight to my second class at 3 p.m. I met up with my friends there, and we planned to go to an event called "Spritzerstand" after uni. When we got there, it was packed, and we had to wait 10–15 minutes just to get a drink. The music was also hard to hear. After my first drink, I decided to head back to the dorm because I was too tired and wasn’t enjoying it much.

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.

Getting into University in Vienna

Image
Today, I moved to Vienna as an international student to study Publizistik- und Kommunikationswissenschaften at the University of Vienna (UniWien). I took the entrance exam on August 29th, which consisted of 80 questions from a 150-page book that I had to study. Additionally, there were 18 word analogy exercises, followed by 8 matrix questions (not related to mathematics). I found out the same day that I got into the university, as only 715 people showed up for the exam, out of 970 available spots. After I got in, I spent the whole day in Vienna. I went to EBI, a really nice "all-you-can-eat" restaurant near Stephansplatz that serves sushi and other Asian dishes. In the evening, I visited Steffl Skybar and had a Moscow Mule cocktail. Fast forward to today—after moving in, I had to fill out some paperwork to prove that I am a student here and that I will be living in Vienna for the coming years. I also had an online interview, which consisted of presenting the documents requir...

Exploring Vienna

Image
  I start university on October 1st, so I have around 10-11 days to explore the city. That’s exactly what I did this morning. I woke up at 8:30, got on the subway, and headed to Taborstraße, where I had breakfast at McDonald's—a wrap with avocado, scrambled eggs, tomato, and bacon. Afterward, I visited a bookstore and bought a bestseller titled Think and Grow Rich , which I plan to read in the coming days. Then, I went to see the Votivkirche (which is shown on the screen) and decided to visit my university, which isn’t too far from the church. I took some pictures there that I’ll be posting on my Instagram page, @victor_in_vienna. After lunch, I started reading the book I bought earlier, and then I went to the gym at the student dorm for my daily workout. I’m considering getting a membership at a bigger gym with more equipment, as this one doesn’t have many machines. In the evening, I met up with my sister and her friend. We cooked dinner together, chatted, and made plans for the n...
