AM HOOKED...
A few month ago I decided to change my major from Math (Secondary Education) to plain Mathematics with a minor. At that point I had no clue what minor I should work on but I knew that I only have 2 semesters left of which one will be in Vienna. I thought I could easily find a minor that I can finish in 2 semesters but I learn that it's not that easy. Prerequvisit here prerequisit there....everything takes at least 3 semesters is what I was told. I went to our econ department and met a realy nice professor that wanted to help me. He gave me permission to take three econ courses in Vienna at the same time. It might be a bit tough but if I don't want to spend another $8000 on tuition I better get through it. The funny thing was that I had no clue what economics was all about. I had no idea...
The semester hasn't even started and I have read the entire microeconomics book, I have been to a trading seminar on CFDs (Certificate for Difference), participated in 2 online seminars on trading, and I have been reading the financial section of the Vienna newspaper (I never read the newspaper my entire life). Let's see where my new passion is going to take me...
Vienna:
I am in love...I am in love with the "Wiener Stadthallenbad"...I am in love with my new pool.
No...the pool doesn't only look long and wide in the picture...it is. Rob I am sure you are jealous right now (unless you swim in a similar pool)...50m lanes (150yards).
At least two lanes are reserved for athletes (and wanna be athletes) only. The lanes are wide enough so that two people can pass a slow swimmer at the same time. The pool is phenomnial. I already bought a half year membership card for the winter. This is gonna be where I will be beating myself to better swim splits.

Hey Bjorn,
I don't know about Rob but I am soooooooooo jealous of your new pool facilities. When are you sending Pino and I tickets to visit in Austria? You are going to be the new king of the stock market. Come back to the U.S. and work on Wall Steet after graduation!? I will be doing the alumni race at school next month (remember you, me, Jane, and Simona did it last year?)
Take care,
TriMOmmy
I am jealous..very jealous... to measure your progress a good foot note to go off of is your 100m Free time in a long course (50m) pool is about 7 sec. slower than your 100yd. Freestyle time in a US short course (25 yd.)pool. on the tri club best way to reach me is at my email.
