Today was just a half day! We had three hours of classes, which wasn’t too bad. It is just like J-Term back at Messiah. It is kind of hard to pay attention but I have gotten through two J-Terms so I think I can handle this. It is weird to think that for my summer I am taking 4 classes… every time I take a test I keep thinking about my friends back home, working and hanging out for the summer and here I am doing something totally different. After classes a bunch of us walked down to the city. We ate lunch at McDonalds because Subway was really expensive (6 bucks for a six inch sub!). They gave you a fountain drink AND a water at McDonalds; really really fancy. Even a four star restaurant doesn’t give you free water!
After that we walked by the river and rented two paddle boats for eight bucks. We then spent the next hour paddling around Prague looking at all the sights from the water. Unfortunately a bird decided to leave his mark on my shoulder right when we got in the boat. People already stare at us all the time here, so it didn’t make any difference for me. We then walked all the way back (it is about a half hour walk uphill) stopping to see someone’s Ferrari parked on the road. Back at the hotel I got to Skype my family and then studied a bit. That night after dinner a few of us went to the largest club in central Europe. It is an old bath house turned into this nightclub. It has five floors with different types of music. The one floor is all disco themed where they play techno-ish remixes of old classic disco songs. It had a sweet dance floor that lit up in different colors. We had to get there around ten, and no one was really there. People in Prague don’t start to party until around midnight. But we had to make curfew at one so we left early. For the time we were there it was a lot of fun. We got back late, but I had already packed, so I just hopped right into bed. Up early tomorrow to leave for Austria!
