Week Two!

Hey everyone,

Well, the internet situation here at V Jircharich 6 has been patchy at best, but I'm still going to do my best to keep up with everyone. 

I have been doing an intensive language orientation for the last week and a half, which has been awesome. Czech is by far the hardest language I have ever tried, but I'm having a lot of fun. Our teacher is named Jana (pronounced Yah-nah), and she is really nice. She always tells us that we are doing "vyrborne" (excellent), even when we are clearly massacring the language. However, we are making some progress considering the difficulty level of the class and how intense this course has been. We do around 4 hours of Czech a day and then have our afternoons free. I am finally feeling maybe proficient enough to make it in this country :-).

Monday I start some of my film classes, and then the rest the Monday after that. I am really excited to get going on my film, and I'm already working through some scripting. Basically, things school-wise have been going really well. I can't wait to get in the full swing of school here. 

This week I felt a little homesick, but I am putting together some home stuff (pictures and letters from people that I got before I came) on a bulletin board for my room here, and I think that will really help. I'm making some really great friends already, and having a lot of fun exploring the city. I'm sorry this blog is pretty short, but not a whole lot has happened. I'm going to try to get some pictures from my trip on here, so that you can see what I'm up to. 

So there you have it. I'm hoping that all is well state-side, and I can't wait to hear about how everyone is doing. 

Love and love and love,

Christy
