Classes over for the week

At this point, I know that I'm going to have some serious trouble readjusting to a normal school week.  Right now, it's about 3:00 in the afternoon on Wednesday, and I have finished all my classes for the week.  Sure, my classes are all three hours long when I have them, but we always have a break halfway through, so it's not too painful.  But having a four day weekend every week makes the longest classes completely worth while.  Since my last update, I have had my Language, Culture, and Social Cognition class and Recent Economic Developments yesterday and then I had Utopia East and West: the Sixties to the Present class.  On Wednesdays, I have started having a meeting with a Czech guy who is teaching me more about the Czech culture and the language.

For the rest of the day, I have to start getting ready for my big weekend plans.  Tomorrow, I'm flying out of Prague for the weekend and going to Istanbul!  This is the trip that I have been the most excited for this whole time.  Ever since I got a job at a Turkish restaurant back at home, I have had people telling me how much I need to go to Turkey someday, but I had figured that wasn't very likely to happen.  Right before I left for Prague, I got an email from ECES saying that they were planning a trip to Istanbul.  Ever since I got that email, I've been looking forward to that trip.  I'm not planning on bringing my computer with me on the trip, so don't be surprised when there's not an update for a few days.  I just don't want to have to deal with worrying about leaving my laptop in my room or something while I'm out seeing all there is to see in Istanbul.  Depending on how much I'm worn out from the trip, I'll probably update this on Sunday night, when I get back to Prague.
