Most of the week was focused on this strange guy named Kafka. He is one of Prague's most famous writer, maybe even most famous person. We had a lecture about his works on Tuesday and visited the Kafka Museum on Wednesday. I can't really say I'm a fan of his work or style but I can defiantly appreciate a well-thought-out museum. I would recommend it even if you have no idea who the guy is. That same day I went to St. Vitus Cathedral, which is FREE! Its by far the best church I have seen in Prague. It is huge and the Mucha stain glass is breath-taking.
Thursday we went to the Mucha Museum, and although I am a fan of his art, it was pretty dull. The gift shop was much more exciting and it showed all the same art. Oh, we tried this Asian place for lunch and I was really impressed with my meal. It was better than the kind I get in Austin. That was a big surprise, even though it's strange to expect Texas Asian to be better than Prague Asian.
So.....this project for my photo class is really killing me. I have to find a person to photograph for a photo story. I've been playing cat and mouse with this guy that plays the trumpet on the towers around Prague all weekend. I have only gotten to photograph him once and I can't get him anymore. Every time I go he's not there or I just miss him. I'm getting really pissed about it. I don't have much confidence in this project but that's why I'm gana kick butt on the final handbook project. I have another project to do for the Czech studies class and I'm not really sure what I'm gana focus on. But I only have two weeks to take my photos, which is why I've just been taking photos like crazy...somethings gotta look good.
Other than this project race, my weekend has been really great. I went to Petrin Hill yesterday with Ashley and had a lot of fun on this fake Paris Tower thing. It had really good views of Prague. It was not till then that I realized that I've been all over Prague. No matter what direction I looked in, I could find a landmark/building that I've been too. I felt like a local for the first time! I also realized that I'm leaving in two weeks and that really bothers me.
Today, I shopped alllll day. I had so much fun doing it too. For weeks I've been putting off major shopping trips so that I could go on a day when I could take as long as I wanted. Today was that day. I left to church this morning and after missing the tower guy again, went shopping all over old town. Found some awesome deals at H&M by the way.
So my weekend is almost over. Tomorrow I don't have much planned besides going to my professor's apartment so he can look at my pictures and give me some feedback. In theory, I could go shopping again but I don't think that's such a good idea. I've gotta find some low-cost way to entertain myself. I'm thinking about going to Barcelona or Rome this weekend but no one has made any concrete plans.
The downside of my 'travels' has finally surfaced. I knew this was too good to be true. So I'm gana be home for three weeks after I go home...then on the last day of July, Juan comes home. On Aug. 1, I leave to Mexico! I'm pretty mad about this because I'll be gone for two weeks and will only have one week to spend with Juan before I go back to Austin! So I'm basically spending the whole summer without him. That's just not right. I already miss that boy and now I realize I'm not even half way there yet. Obviously, he is still not very happy with me, but what I'm I supposed to do? It's not something I can control.
Hopefully this week will bring better, much better news as I start to wrap things up here in Prague. I have to start mentally preparing myself for that Texas summer heat.
