Classes officially started on Monday, however my only class this week was this afternoon. I am taking four classes here, two finance and two management course. I had one of my finance classes today, from 2-6:30! It was a longggg time to be sitting in class, especially since I haven't been in study mode for almost three months now! The professor was very nice though, and all the material was review from my previous finance classes. I was worried that this class would be too advanced, but my U of I education has prepared me well - it seems as if almost all of it will be topics I've already learned, with a heavier focus on how they are used internationally in finance. The building was very difficult to find, but luckily there were two other people in my group in the class, so we were all lost together for a bit before finding it!
As I mentioned, the weather has been fantastic here this week! It has been in the mid to upper 50's and sunny everyday! I've had to run a lot of errands this week, which meant I was out enjoying the weather a lot. I've also gone on a run outside everyday this week. One of my runner friends and I have found our new favorite route - the palace gardens! At Schonbrunn, the Habsburg's summer palace here in Vienna, the gardens are free to enter and have many trails and various jogging paths. It is 4 U-Bahn stops away, but worth the short trip! We ran for almost an hour there the other afternoon, and plan to go back very often. It will be even more beautiful once the plants are green and blooming!

We are off tomorrow morning, bright and early to Budapest, Hungary. We will be there for three days and two nights, and are very excited. We already have lots planned there, including an afternoon at one of the ancient bathhouses! The forecast is calling for clouds and rain, but we are hoping that is wrong! Either way it should be a fun trip.
