more news

1. I have been taking a photo lesson and a ceramics class. Both have been very fun. I made my first print in the darkroom yesterday. At ceramics I have made: a butter dish, six small sheep, a dish that looks like a chicken, two cups and a sugar bowl.
2. We are having a Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. I have not seen pumpkin or sweet potatoes in the Czech Republic, but we will have turkey, cranberries and mashed potatoes.
3. I have recently been watching more popular czech movies. I saw Zelary which is very very sad, Kolya which is mostly funny but also sad, and Vrchní, prchni! which is very funny and about a fake waiter.

some news

1. I'm done with classes and am now working 100% of the time on an independent project. I am making a book of drawings of buildings. So far so good.
2. This morning a filling fell out, so this afternoon I will be experiencing the Czech health care system. The dentist is not for me: fear of needles + small mouth + bad noises.
3. My host mother made me a coat. It looks very snappy.

Lil update

My comps is due in 10 days, so I am a little bit stressed out. That is a total lie, because I am a lot stressed out.

The upshot is that on the last day of classes, I'll be done with it. Maybe. At last for this term.
