Skola!

So, let me just begin this spout of info by saying..My God, is the Czech language complicated!!

Put aside the fact that there's tons of different endings for one word making a simple sentence very difficult to compose. Real classes started yesterday for me and so far it looks like they'll shape up to make a great semester. My course load includes Czech Art and Architecture, Trauma: Memories of the Holocaust, Czech photography, and the Czech language.

Apart from the fact that my Trauma professor thinks we're already experts on the details of the Holocaust (I'm not..if you were wondering..) and my Czech course tried to pick up where intensive Czech left off :o, the semester should be really great.

Photography class was a bit intimidating as I walked in armed with my Canon Powershot. But the professor just took the opportunity to reemphasize what I've already heard, "it is not the camera that makes a good picture." He also took the first part of class to show us "boring pictures of Prague Castle." Well, while I find it difficult to grasp calling anything in Prague boring, I do understand his point and I'm hoping that he'll push us to capture shots emphasizing the unique-ness of Prague. Shots that a million other people haven't already taken. :]

I'm sitting at my desk drinking tea from a bowl (I have yet to invest in certain kitchen necessities..like cups..), and I can't help but hope that my cold goes away soon. I leave in an hour for Sweden and I have yet to pack..probably should get on that!
