Just a normal day in Prague

Updating every other day is going to end up being a lot of updates.  Yesterday, I had my normal Sunday, which consists of sleeping in and then going to a nice little cafe to read and do homework.  I went to this cute cafe right by the main building of the school and just sat there for a while reading.  It was nice.

Today, I had my standard Monday.  Before class, I go to a local high school to help out with an English class.  Since I'm a native speaker, talking to me helps improve their English and understand what people with an American accent sound like.  This is one of my favorite things to do while I'm here.  I love it because I feel like I've actually helping out and I love volunteering, which I know sounds really cheesy.  After that, I have less than an hour before my only class on Monday, which is Alternative Culture: Literature, Music, and Lifestyles.  This class is pretty cool most of the time.  Today, we talked about underground poetry and spent most of the class reading different poems and talking about them.  One of my favorites from the class was:

i should be able to discern
i could have learnt a lot by now
masses of people with the same question
"why"?
i have never been able to answer
this question
and why not?
echoes the answer
~Pavel Z

For some reason, this poem really speaks to me.  Since I've been here, a lot of people have asked me why I chose to come to the Czech Republic to study, and this poem seems to perfectly answer that.  I'm not quite sure why I decided so intently to come here, I know that the program sounded amazing, but since I've been here, I haven't doubted that I made the right choice.
