It’s been about two weeks since we left, and we have pretty much settled into the Czech Management Center. We have had two different occasions to spend time in Prague, and I have really enjoyed exploring the city. I haven’t had time to really SEE anything, but I have gotten my bearings and have a good idea of things I want to devote time to as the semester goes on.
Class is ridiculous – I didn’t think it could get more difficult than last tri, but RBE was insane. Ten hours of lecture every day for six days, and then a “final exam” that took 7 hours and ended up at 9 pages. I learned a lot, and I really enjoy the subject matter, but it was too much at one time for my little brain. We had quite a celebration to be done with it this weekend!
Then we jumped straight into finance last night. There were five of us packed around our little kitchen table, reading and working through problems, and it is nice to be able
to settle into some sort of routine. Even if it means conversations alternate between where we are thinking about spending the weekend and how much it would cost to buy a put option on Apple stock. The food has been decent – there are lots of local restaurants nearby that we have tried.
There is a Czech traditional one across the street that is pretty good. You have to be hungry, and in the mood for some fried meat and beef gravy though!
There is also a Greek place and a few places you can get pizza – which is always reliably delicious. And it is not expensive! I can get a full meal for less than 150 Ckz, which is about $7 with the current rates.
The weather has been crummy. It has snowed a few times and we have had several wet gray days. Wandering around the city isn’t as exciting when it is so chilly, but our professor
seems to think that spring is right around the corner.
