Well now. Yesterday was what you'd call an intriguing day.
Started off with our usual deep "a graphic novel is literature, I swear" Italian class, in which we discovered that our hero is an echo of the main character in all fables and literature, and at the same time an entirely original creation of the author. Not just a cartoon character who wrestles squid then. Oops.
Email from Marcel, telling me to come talk to him after German (now we're getting to the intriguing bit). So of course, being the fabulous student I am, I do. Turns out, the Austrians liked the random story I submitted to a competition to get out of homework one week. Apparently, the idea of Mozart busking in the main square to raise enough cash to buy electric blue trousers appealed. Third place - I'm going to Salzburg!!! Two weeks, flight and course paid (have to get my own accommodation but meh) at some point over the next three months. Hurray!!! And Salzburg is so pretty!! I'm not quite sure how it happened, (I'm assuming only three people entered) but I ain't complaining!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have gruel to find. :P
