A river's disguise

Now in Wienna, there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry

It's friday evening, Leonard Cohen is singing softly in the background and my first week of classes is behind me. It really exhausted it more than it should - thank goodness for weekends. Mine will be spent drawing (I'm really inspired by amusement parks and vintage circus pictures right now, and I'd like to channel that into some pencil sketches) attending an aerobics class (I've really been waiting to get back into my workout routine after the summer holidays - I definitely need to!) and brushing up on my French grammar in order to stand a chance in my advanced French class.

Take this walz, take this walz
Take its broken waist in your hand

Plus I need to figure out if there's anything I can do to make my study feel more like an actual apartment and less like, well, a room. I've lived here for tree years now, and during my first year here I had blood red curtains, a dark red comforter on my bed and a red carpet. I loved it for about a year, then I got super tired of it and gradually changed it into what it looks like now: white and slightly romantic, with a beautiful old lamp and black-and-white photos on the walls. Still, it feels more like a bedroom than an actual apartment, if you know what I mean.

I've actually loved the cozy dorm room feeling this study has ever since I moved in, but now I'm all of a sudden longing for something, well, more home-like. Decluttering it a bit and removing some old pictures might help, I guess. Any ideas are extremely welcome!

I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise...
