Hey, so here I am in Prague and the first semester of third year has started. Unfortunately I am having a confidence crisis in my project. Is the idea good enough? I am also feeling overloaded with possible things to include. The city is fascinating and I need to narrow down a lot and focus on a defined path. I'm waiting to hear back from my tutor on an email I sent asking advice, but as they didn't reply to four that I sent in August I'm not holding my breath. Ah well, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I can't say it's worth the £9000 per year tuition fees though, as we're practically being left alone and receiving little to no actual tuition for half of the academic year.
Anyway, on to more interesting things. As some of you know, yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of Christos dying. I decided that it wouldn't be good to stay in and think about things. He would not have approved of that! Yesterday also happened to be St Wenceslas Day and Day of Czech Statehood. I decided to go into Wenceslas Square. The autumn street markets have been in swing for the past couple of weeks, decorated with pumpkins and leaves:
Earlier this week there was a Czech folk band playing there, The Bohemian Bards, complete in traditional dress and almost traditional instruments. I never knew there was a Czech version of bagpipes. Lots of leather was also in evidence, including a leather kilt!
Yesterday I was lucky enough to be there just before a live show about Wenceslas. Unfortunately, due to my legs, I was unable to stay there for the whole thing (it was standing room only) but I did get some photos from the beginning of the show:
On a side note, I'm disappointed that I got a 24 hour ban from Facebook for posting my photos from the Prague Sex Machines Museum. I wonder if Blogger's policy is so strict...
Christos would have approved :-)
