TRANSCRIPT
A really good day. In electronic music, I played my
letter. Kaufman was at least laughing.
The rest of the day was really good. In acoustics,
engineer Gotwald was explaining to us about the
oscilloscope. We started fooling around, drinking
wine, and trying to get weird pictures on the
oscilloscope. We really went wild when we got a good
Christmas tree design, so we turned the oscilloscope
on its side. It was a lot of fun (a little education)
and at least it showed that we were all human.
Leaving for Innsbruck tonight. Can’t wait. I hope its
good.
REFLECTIONS
Christmas
in class. Today,
before the school break for the Christmas holidays,
we have a bit of fun. Some wine drinking. I play my
“Letter Home” for the class. They politely laugh.
Then we create Christmas tree patterns on the
oscilloscope.
An easy day.
Then tonight, it’s off to Innsbruck for my first ski
trip in Austria.
