German test today! The final for our intensive course. I thought it went really well. We had a written test and an oral component. Afterwards, I took a walk around the campus to explore some buildings I haven’t been in yet. Took a look at the physics building – they have some REALLY cool instruments ranging from the 1700s (?) to present. I shall have to take pictures. And bring a dictionary. My German physics vocabulary isn’t quite good enough to translate all the labels. Briefly saw their astrophysics section, but they didn’t have as much on display as the experimental physics floor. I then successfully found a power outlet and settled in for some serious blog catch-up. ;-)
Residence permit application in the afternoon, and then home via my lovely yellow bike. Guess who I saw in the street on my way through the old town? Our Finnish friends A and M and our English friend N, immediately followed by E. This was NOT planned! (Apparently Graz is small enough that you have a fairly good chance of running into friends at least once a day, even if you’re new in town!)
Anyway, somehow we agreed that I would cut N’s hair to get rid of the split ends. Turns out that A and M also wanted their hair cut, so we all trooped back to the apartment. The walk was a little farther than we thought after an exam and an orientation session! But when we got back, everyone lined up to get their hair done. I think my layers are a bit chunky, but no one left with their hair too badly damaged. ;-) One of the other residents of our apartment also found out we were giving free haircuts, so he got his done too. Maybe we should open a business in Fröbelgasse 34/19. Payment in chocolate would always be welcome. J Then it was my turn. Tiny did the honours, and gave me a marvelous haircut. Nothing too drastic, just a bit of a change. See the pictures!
Changed my computer to Region 2 so we can play German/Austrian DVDs. We watched Chocolat tonight (in English though – we were feeling kind of lazy), but have plans to have Austrian movie nights with E and P. Very soon. J
