Things here are exhausting but great. I'm going to go exploring today, then to dinner with the girls, and maybe out to a cool club tonight.
My classes have been really interesting, too. I have literature at a famous intellectual cafe and my professor wrote underground literature during communism and signed Charter 77 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_77). My theatre professor has been studying here since the 60s and has worked a lot with Vaclav Havel. In one of my Czech classes this week we went out to lunch and properly ordered and read the menu in Czech. I had fried cheese!
I also went to my host sister Olga's ball with her this week and brought some girls from my program. It was NOTHING like American prom and so goofy and fancy and fun.
Also, my friend Martha cut me straight-across bangs!
Before the Ball:
Sam, Martha, Olga, me, Olga's friend - Agata, Jessi, and Crystal. Clearly, we look like the short Americans!
AHHH reading a czech menu! that's so exciting! how's the food there?!
ReplyDeleteand I loooove the bangs, they look so cute on you :]
Glad to hear that you are having such a fabulous experience. We are visiting Grammy and Papa in Florida for the kids vacation week. The bangs look great....so brave to let a friend do it....she did a great job. Have fun...be safe.
