schneefinkI'm still sick, I forgot how much I hate that. Especially the headache and the inability to think or feel motivated to do anything - like write about my trip to the UK, because at the moment it would probably read like a story of one almost-disaster after the other, it was that kind of trip. But it was fun! See, that's why I can't write about it yet, too gloomy.
Today is Austria's national holiday, so at least I don't miss any lectures. I already cancelled my weekend plans (choir weekend *cries*) and the relatives who come to stay with us for a few days hopefully know not to expect me to do much. I should at least do my homework instead of writing pointless dw updates, but who cares, I'm sick, I can post self-indulgent whining if I want to. I need more tea and maybe another aspirin, then I'll feel better.
Anyway, today I found an article about the world's most prosperous cities that starts with the sentence: "The world might want to look to Vienna, Austria to solve all of its problems." This is all kinds of hilarious, especially since I spent my morning reading about various Austrian corruption scandals and the rich-poor class difference, but we do have it pretty good here. For example because of the food and water, or the music and culture, or the public transport, or the public infrastructure in general, or the parks, or the weather. I love my city :)
