A Long-Overdue Update

So I've been pretty terrible about updating this thing...oops. So I'll do a quick recap of my life since St. Stephen's Day.

Today classes started, I found out one of my classes doesn't exist, and missed my backup class because when it was taking place I was still under the impression that the first class existed. So now I THINK I will be taking Central European Culture, Health Care in Hungary, Irish Literature, and either a psychology class about Freud vs. Lewis OR about Belief vs. Unbelief...so we'll see. Oh the Hungarian education system...

This past weekend 12 of us went to Vienna though! I loved it. Similar to Budapest, but a little more upscale...and more expensive. So worth it though. It was nice coming back to Budapest though because it's starting to feel like home. Here are some pictures-

Wien Rathaus (Vienna's City Hall)

Casey and I biked around Vienna the first day!

Some sort of parade.

St. Stephan's (Vienna Edition)

SO MANY BIKES IN VIENNA.

There was some sort of festival, so everyone was wearing cool Austrian clothes and dancing.

The waterfall/fountain in the garden in front of the art museum! 

And...just some cool flowers :D

The week before that, our Calvin classes started (Central European Culture and Health Care in Hungary) which are taught by Professor Feenstra. We also just explored Budapest more...found cute cafes, nice restaurants, wonderful libraries, and delicious gelato!

Hungarian class was what occupied our mornings the two weeks before that. Hungarian is really difficult, but kinda cool. It's messing up my German though I think...so traurig! :(

And finally...the first weekend we were here, 7 of us went to Lake Balaton! It was stunning. Here are some pictures-

The last day of some festival!

The inside of a small shop in Tihany...maybe an old house?

The abbey in Tihany!

Beautiful Lake Balaton!
