weekend

This weekend was a full one. Friday evening I went to a birthday party for one of my flatmates friends. They had a dinner party and it was a good time. I met some more people and hung out and drank for a few hours. They had prepared some great meatloaf as well as some other dishes... really very good. I had gone to the store and bought some Jim Beam, its the first time I've had any since I came over. After a few drinks and some shots of Johhanne's mystery drink and the mystery fruit liquor thing I was feeling quite good. I managed to make the last U-Bahn home which made the trip home quite quick. Had I missed it I would have had to wait for the night bus and that would have been a whole different affair. We talked about skiing a lot, and think might try and go with them at some point while I am here.

Saturday I managed to make it over the to Staatsgalerie. I took time and went through the museum for the work and architecture. They have some nice pieces and it was good to see the inside of the building. They also had quite a bit regarding the competition and the building itself (its been around 25 years since the competition was first commissioned) so it was good to get some history there. I also went and climbed he train station tower and searched around the University for the Hysolar building. It was a nice afternoon. Upon my return I spoke to Johhannes who informed me that he and his friends had all gone to those places. We must have kept on missing each other all day. That night we all went out and hit up a few bars and explored a bit. Eventually i ended up going to a club with a couple of the guys. It was near where I originally stayed and was quite the place. It was quite full and quite loud, but a good time was had and I'm glad I took the opportunity to see what it was all about.

Sunday I slept in for a bit and then went for a long run with Tim. We went to a park outside the city a few miles and ran on the trails there. It was really nice and was good to get out and go for a run with someone. In the afternoon I went over to the office and worked on my book for a while, starting to make some progress on that as well. So it was a good weekend. I enjoy that I've seemingly settled into a routine. My boss came through the office while I was there and we discussed the project a bit and I can see a lot of work in my future, but it is good. I was feeling slightly lost at the end of last week. So I think between that conversation and getting some more info about the project itself I will be able to get some good ideas/discoveries out there.

Hope all have a great week.
