Forever and a day

I wasn't planning to post right now, but my fingers typed the address and I was helpless in the face of possibility.
So I got a B on my 2nd Music History paper. This is expected, but I still dislike it for its mediocrity. Of course, I don't know what I am doing, so perhaps a B is a testament to how well I am faking.
Yesterday was very, very fun. I did go to the Danube. This was the Donauinsel, or Danube island, a man-made island full of fun things to do and places to eat. I went paddle-boating, a dream of mine since I was a kid (thanks Lee and Lance). I also went swimming in the middle of the river. Just as I jumped in, I thought "Wait, this doesn't have a bottom like a pool." I consequently did not drown, though I did swallow I good lungful of water. Now I can say I drank the Danube, too. Getting back on the boat from a river was another unexpected problem, boats are high and have no rungs. I have several bruises from my attempts to get back on, but all is well that ends well. Feeling like a beached whale once I got back on was another unexpected result. I did not get sunburned, I was very careful in that regard. We also went trampoline jumping. There was a large platform with 20? trampolines, and it cost 2 Euro to jump for 8 minutes. My siblings and cousins, remember our old trampoline? These were way better. It was absolute joy, I did every trick I learned as a child, my companions admired my somersault, and a good time was had by all. There was a Strawberry Kiss at the end, a non-alcoholic frozen beverage that cost far too much.
Alas! I must run to Performance now.
Have a good day, sweeties.
