1/31

Today marks the end of the first full week of my Intensive Czech course and I have learned so much about the language in that time. I can hold a decent conversation for the most part and am now able to order all of my own food and drinks. We also had advising for FAMU this week and that made me very excited for my film classes to start and for me to get back to writing (as well as bettering myself as a writer). Also, we went on a day trip to Khutna Hora, which is a city about an hour and a half away from Prague. We toured the cathedral there and also a bone church that contains approximately 60,000 different human bones. All of the pictures from the trip have already been uploaded to Facebook. However, we got home pretty late last night after a really fun evening that included three of us seeing a film, getting beers afterwards, and ultimately a very deep, intense discussion that was not only about that specific film, but also film as a whole, theory, beliefs, meaning, etc. I love being surrounded by all of this creativity and knowledge and being able to have discussions like this. Back to the point though, I only got five hours of sleep and was not feeling so hot in the morning, making this very long day of traveling seem even longer. It was still fun regardless of being tired though. Each day feels like another week here and I am already wondering how much I will learn/ be changed (and in what ways) by the end of the semester.
