After roughly three months of complaining that it isn't winter if I can go outside jacket-less, while wearing shoes with no socks, I checked weather.com this morning to find that it's expected to snow in Prague tomorrow. It's January, so this is expected, right?
Why am I suddenly not looking forward to it?
I feel like I've gotten very used to global warming, but I guess I was wrong. Part of me secretly wanted a winter without snow, one without cold. I wanted winter without it actually being that. I guess that won't be happening this year.
Classes started today. I only had one this morning, my Varieties of Contemporary European Culture class. It seems like it'll be really interesting, and it's nice and small - only about 15 people, which I'm certainly not complaining about after a semester in a 150 person lecture on Zionism. I'd rather not be a number if I don't absolutely have to. After lunch and a Tesco run with Emily, I'm killing time in the computer lab until my Travel Writing class at 4:30. I'm looking forward to this one, because it's one of my two journalism classes. Supposedly they're splitting it into two sections because so many people wanted to take this class, and if one is a little earlier (assuming it doesn't conflict with this other class I'm in) I might switch into it to make this gap in between classes slightly less awkward. We'll see.
Tomorrow I have International Reporting, my other journalism class, and History of Nationalism. I got to meet the IR teacher the other day, and the class sounds really interesting, because it's going to be a little less theoretical and a little more hands-on, which seems right up my alley. We'll see how those two actually go tomorrow though.
Tonight is the big group welcome dinner in the castle, and while my experiences with Czech food have been less than stellar so far, I'm really looking forward to actually seeing the inside of the castle, seeing as we didn't actually get to do that on the tour.
