Semester or Vacation?

If only this semester abroad was just a 17 week vacation in Europe. There's so much to do and not enough time or money to go everywhere! This is my ideal schedule, assuming I have enough money and time. I think I will need to cut out at least 1 or 2 trips to save money and just enjoy Vienna. Also, I will need to study and practice, I can't forget. But this is what I have so far, and I'll chip away at it as I plan my budget until it's just right.
