I started off with my Intro to Czech Language class at 9:30am, and my professor seems really amazing. She's a very happy and outgoing person, and understands that because Czech is a REALLY difficult language to learn, not all of us are going to pick it up right away. I was kind of just expecting that we would just do the usual "Tell me your name and three things about you" deal that usually happens on the first day of classes. But, I was pleasantly surprised when she started right off with a pronunciation and vocabulary lesson! I already feel like I'm more comfortable now to go places and order food or try to communicate with the locals :)
My next class was my fashion studio, and I love it already. They assigned us our play today that we'll be designing costumes for this semester: The Insect Play by Josef + Karel Čapek. I had never heard about it before, but we read a little about it, and it seems really interesting. I'm most excited to begin the process of picking the characters we'll be designing for- I'm hoping to get the ant or cricket costumes, but we'll see what happens!
We were also given our first project of the semester today- we get to embroider and embellish a beret given to us in any way we want. That way, when we all go to Paris in two weeks, we'll all be stylin'! I've already started sketching out some ideas and messing around with some fabric to see what I'm gonna do. I'm so glad to be getting back into sewing again!
Oh, and to make our Valentine's Day complete, one of our studio professors brought us to a local chocolate museum for a tour, some free samples, and they even bought us some little chocolate treats afterwards. It was such a sweet surprise!
Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
