So tonight I leave, or maybe tomorrow morning I still haven't figured out exactly when I want to catch a bus. I have to take a bus to Heathrow for a 6 15 flight. A little early I was thinking about staying up all night at the airport, but I could always sleep and catch a bus at like two in the morning. I haven't quite figured out what I want to do.
I'm packing up my room for all the students that are coming to Oxford to interview about getting into this place. They let the kids stay here a night or two and they make them undergo an interview as part of their application process. The school system here is tilted towards the rich 50 percent of students at Oxford and Cambridge come from public schools (read private), and public schools only have 10 percent of the students. There really is a big class problem in this country.
So I'm leaving, I am moving into a single next term which should be nice, I almost didn't want to. This was the first time I enjoyed my roommate enough that I would have considered staying in the double. There is something nice about having someone to talk to that is always immediately there. pfft.
I hate the idea of spending 4-6 weeks at my aunt's place. I hate being an inconvenience, at least I cook and shit, maybe take the kids to school or whatever. Vienna is a beautiful city, i think I may end up doing a lot of walking. A shame that my shoes are falling apart. There is nothing I like more than wearing out a pair of shies. Walking in them until there is no sole left and you can't walk through the rain because the level of water in your shoes is only slightly higher that that on the street.
I've decided I am leaving at twelve and I'm going to try to do some reading at the airport.
So its taken all day to write this blog and in 5 minutes I leave this room never to return. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.
