Madness in the bar, yesterday! We had a Prague Summer Program open mic night. It was wildly entertaining. Ryan and I performed Rilo Kiley, it was happy with people singing along.

Earlier in the day I had my last class with Robin. I will miss it very much. Two weeks, six classes, went way too fast. The halfway mark is a bit terrifying, I'll admit. Monday means Lee Gutkind. I'm starting to get adjusted to Prague, almost too adjusted. I like the confusion and chaos and open mindedness that comes with a new city. The longer I'm here, the more routine it is. The less I notice, the less I appreciate. The less daring I am.

I'll work on it.

After class Layla and I spent the day shopping. We found a mall and spent money we didn't have. It was satisfying. I spent the evening with her until about three. Promised to walk her to the tram then didn't wake up in time. This means Layla left and I never had the chance to say goodbye. It's depressing.

This morning I woke up early and headed out to Terezin with a group of people. It's an old concentration camp, not to be confused with extermination camp. It was a middle-ground, something used in passing throughout WWII. Afterwards, ironically, it was used to hold Czech Germans (German Czechs?). Also, the man who assassinated Ferdinand, the first even of WWI, was held there and eventually tortured to death. Needless to say, it's also depressing.

I am completely and totally exhausted.
