Today was a pretty relaxing day. Basically we just went to our film class in the morning which was okay. We watched a really old film on the holocaust. It was the first narrative film made on the holocaust, in black and white and hardly any speaking at all, and very large gestures. Then I went and bought a book for my literature class and Nathalie and I went grocery shopping where I found water that actually tastes good! I watched a hindi movie online and basically spent the rest of the day hanging out at the Kolej and just relaxing.... read more

Today was not a very good day. I think the jet lag has finally caught up with me. So we went to our language class today and learned numbers. It was good, I got pretty far in the numbers game we played. I was 5th. Then we had our art history class. Again we walked around and went to two art galleries to see paintings and pictures. I was so tired by this time that I decided to come home on the tram and have some of the leftover fried rice. I got home and basically just fell asleep on my bed at 4.

So we were basically in class all day today. First class was Czech language. It's like being back in french class in grade 8.

It was kind of an interesting feeling. Then we had a break and we had some food in the university cafeteria. The lady was so fast and I was so intimidated that I just pointed at the first thing i ... read more

Well the plane ride was awful!! The flight was delayed from Vancouver to Frankfurt so we missed our connecting flight at the Frankfurt airport and had to wait for a few hours before we could get on another plane. Then when we reached Prague two people lost their luggage so there was more waiting. Well, anyway, I was much too tired to really care about what was going on. On the flight from Vancouver to Frankfurt after about four hours my legs had a searing pain going through them and they felt so swollen. Even my normally comfortably loose shoes felt tight but the in flight movie was "Fun with dick and Jane" which was okay albeit a little boring. The food was disgusting and the smell made me nauseated even though I ate some anyway. ... read more
