It's weird to live without a cell phone. I slept through orientation yesterday, which means my first trip to St Charles University was today-- oh Lord. The buildings are huge, old, and absolutely gorgeous. Our classroom is very narrow with high ceilings and dusty old books that I don't think I could reach even standing on a chair. My professor is kind and reputable, my classmates are warm and thoughtful. There's a bit of a rift between the older and younger women (because we are, indeed, all women), but I have a feeling it will fade as the class continues.

I went to Tesco to buy some food and silverware today and decided at the check out that I am going to take the Survival Czech class being offered here for 600Cz, including the book. I just want to learn to say thank you to my cashier! And let people I know I can't speak Czech...

Jet lag is already wearing off, because I slept from 9pm until 8am today, with a half hour break of reading near 2am. The beds here are so nice and comfortable! I'm almost happy that people keep speaking to me in Czech. Maybe I look European! hah.

Shoshana and I are about to go running. The area is beautiful, the city is typically safer than the United States, there are tons of parks, and the temperature is perfect right now. It was warmer this afternoon but the sun is dipping to the height of the trees and the air is getting cooler. 

I'm learning the tram routes and general location of things. I'm still not sure where I live, but I'll figure it out eventually.
