Tis the season...

Hello helloooooo!

How is everyone????? I hope everyone is managing the semester crunch alright. I can't believe the semester is almost over ALREADY. Where did the time go??

I'm back in Prague now for my last ten days (wow) and the traveling craziness came to a close with a big bang. We took a four day weekend last weekend and spent it in a very Christmasy Copenhagen with an excursion to Sweden for a day!

Today and tomorrow are big days in Prague. Tonight was the Eve of Saint Nicholas Day. Starting at 3pm children and parents parade through the city dressed as Saint Nicholas, angels and devils and tomorrow is a big feast day. My friend and I went to the local church and watched the children sing to a man dressed as Saint Nicholas in return for gifts from his angels. We spoke in Czech to a father of one of the children who explained the whole situation to us.

As for the rest of the last 10 days, they should be very busy! For the first time all semester I have work (though it still does not compare to Conn in any way shape or form). Plus, my friends and I have a big list of everything we still want to do in the city. It's going to be fun!!

Since tomorrow is going to be spent accomplishing as much of the list as possible (hopefully a palace and a museum), I should try to get to bed. But I am thinking of you all and I hope you are finding time to enjoy the holiday season. Good luck to those in Finals-Land. You can do it!! I can't wait to see you all very soon.

Much love,
