Friday, already?

This week has flown by so quickly, and I can't believe it's already the weekend. Some people went to Krakow this weekend, last minute trip, but I decided to hang back in Prague and do a little more exploring. I've still got a whole "czech list" of places that I want to visit and restaurants I want to eat at! Plus, I figured that I should save my cash for when I go to Paris next weekend with the program. I'm so excited to be going, and I might even get the chance to see my friend, Christine, who is studying abroad there right now. I've already started scoping out some little crepe stands and coffee shops that I want to check out while I'm there.
As far as this week goes, not a whole lot happened. Tuesday was National Margarita Day back in the US, so I went out after dinner with some people to grab a few drinks, of course getting one margarita. Wednesday, I went to go see The Magic Flute at the Estates Theater with some people from my studio and I really enjoyed it! This opera was much better, in my opinion, than Cosi Fan Tutte. It was really funny, the music was incredible, and the costumes and set design were so great! Thursday, I was in class all day and then I ended the day going out to dinner with a bunch of people from the program. One of the landscape architecture professors and one of the grad students are returning to the US today, so we all decided to go out and have one last celebration with them. We ate at this little Czech restaurant, U medvídků, which had some of the best goulash and beer cheese that I have ever tasted. I was stuffed to the point that my pants unzipped themselves when I sat down- I was practically busting out of my jeans because of all the food and beer I consumed. I guess it's time to go shop for some bigger pants!
My plan for the day is to go walk around a little bit, and maybe check out the Communism Museum. It's a gorgeous day here- FINALLY a temperature above 32 degrees, and lots of sunshine! And from the forecast this morning, it looks like the weather is only going to get better, with temperatures going up to almost 40 degrees and sunshine everyday :)
Oh, and I finally finished my beret, so now I'm fully ready to go to Paris.
Is it glamorous enough for me to blend in with the Parisians?
