Day 3 (02.10.08)

Formalities again. We're rashing through Vienna filling in some Very Essential Papers.
Firstly, we have an Austrian number. Yupiii! With a decent credit.
And we got plenty of papers at the "orientation". Some student discounts, booklet about sports at the Uni, drink bonuses in some clubs.
Then we had to buy a semester ticket for the public transport. Wow, that was quite a huge expense. 130 euro. For 4 months. But it should pay off.
I got the impression that all the students have chosen exactly the same time to get the ticket. The queues were quite long but fortunately after 2o minutes we received a colorful piece of plastic.

And finally we've chosen the classes. Well, I need to admit that this Uni is so much better than our. At least when it comes to education offer. There are so many interesting translation subjects that we didn't know what should we pick up. Everything seems worth attending. But well, we can't have it all. And still there are some obligatory subjects that we need to cover (history, literature, geography, business German). Anyway, we've decided to go to Translation of Law Texts, Tr. of Specialist Texts, Simultaneous Interpreting, Consecutive Interpreting, Culture Competance, Rhetoric, Quality Managment & Project Managment, Translation of Subtitles and Terminology Classes. Seems quite a lot but doesn't matter. Can't wait to learn sth new, sth that we couldn't learn in Poland...
