Settling in Prague

Quick side note for everyone: if you clicked on a link to get here and see a really slanted, decorative handwriting and have trouble reading this-- you should just type in the address you clicked to get here (halieolszowy.blogger.com) into your URL bar. Apparently, the script I have this blog set to show doesn't come up sometimes when you just click the link . . . Slightly irritating, but I just wanted to mention it so that if you do have trouble reading it, you know how to fix it! Hope this helps!

On to more important things now . . .

So I've been in Prague for a couple of days now! Nothing too eventful has happened yet, we've just been getting settled in and being introduced to different parts of the city. All of my flights went smoothly and I was able to get a taxi right to the apartment with a few other people in the program when we landed in Prague, no problems. I share an apartment with four other girls-- it is actually really great! We have a kitchen and two bathrooms, two large bedrooms that each have two people that have double doors connecting them to make one giant room, and then another single room. We are right downtown, boardering Old Town-- a historic part of the city. We have groceries and restaurants all around us, so it's been a great place to be so far!

We have done a couple of orientation tours with our rogram directors, but really haven't had a huge amount of time to just wander. Prague is such a gorgeous place to be though-- I know that even with just the little I've seen. There are so many different buidings-- both of historical importance and no importance-- that seriously look like perfect copies of something you might find in Disney or somewhere where they're trying to replicate castles and all. It's really like something out of a medieval fairy tale book!

Classes start tomorrow, so we'll have more of a schedule and some unstructured time to go explore wherever we'd like. I don't have classes on Monday, so I will be off on my first adventure with a couple of girls I've met! We don't have any concrete plans now, but I'm sure I will have more to share tomorrow!
