a not so lazy but still uninteresting sunday

nothing much to report today. i had a long rehearsal and that's about it. it's true that nothing is open on sundays here, except for one little japanese restaurant we found close to the studio. so fortunately we had lunch. the only other place we found was a little tiny fruit stand where i bought some little red things that turned out to be dried marashino cherries. pretty gross, actually...
we had our first rehearsal with (almost) the whole cast there today. usually when we rehearse it's only the 4 of us 'canuks' (as they call us) so it was kind of nice to meet and work with all of the austrian girls too, although it was a much slower process and it therefore felt like a very long day.
tomorrow is another day off, which is exciting... i'll keep you posted on the adventures that are bound to occur...
oh, and add one more thing to the list of things i miss about home (actually 2 more things):
dryers and fabric softener (towels get scratchy)
oh. and also, soft toilet paper

to leave this post on a positive note, here are some things i greatly appreciate about austria:
1. chocolate
2. specialty coffees
3. yogurt
4. cheap cheese
5. i had a good sandwich today that i bought at the shell station (it was open too)
6. pretty architecture
7. cute boutiques
8. i love that all of the doors and cupboards have little keys sitting in the holes all the time to lock them
9. a lot of the rehearsals are actually pretty fun
10. i have a cozy little bed
11. i love my luggage that my parents bought me for my birthday
12. i'm very thankful to have internet access at the house i'm currently staying (although the computer is quite slow)
13. i like that most of the trees here still have their leaves (even though it is quite cold)
14. i like that the trams are on time and they have little signs at each stop that tells you how many more minutes until another one comes
15. i like that when i travel i realize how much i love my life at home and how much i love the people that i share it with. i hate being away from my family, friends and fiancé but it makes me so excited to see them again.

list to be continued...

that was a good list. so sorry about the icky tp and scratchy towels.
I love you.
we all want to see photos...(especially of pretty architecture...did you take a camera? can you email me a mailing address? never know, maybe we could send something that will get there before you leave.
Love you!
