I did end up staying home today and sleeping in because I woke up with a little fever and because of the whole swine flu situation I thought it’d be best if I stayed home – just in case! Luckily I felt fine by the afternoon and will be back in class tomorrow!

But since I was at home today, I got to do some vocabulary practicing and I figured I should tell you guys about my favourite way to practice vocabulary on my laptop: Anki!

Anki is a spaced repetition system (SRS). It helps you remember things by intelligently scheduling flashcards, so that you can learn a lot of information with a minimum amount of effort.

Read more about Anki or watch some instructional videos on its website.

That’s all for today! Expect a big entry about Vienna tomorrow with lots of pictures to make up for these past two entries being a little lacking.

Gute Nacht!
