first day of classes

My dad's probably thinking "Finally!"
But it's true... it really has been a while since everyone else started up school.
The only class I had today was a seminar on urbanism that is taught in conjunction with studio. For class, we met up at the astronomical clock in old town square. We went inside the building adjacent to the clock and sat in a room with the biggest site model I've ever seen. It was a 1:1000 scale model of the entire city of Prague. Martin gave us a brief history of Prague and the surrounding area of Bohemia. It was a pretty interesting discussion and afterwards we went up the clock tower to overlook the city. It was quite a view, but unfortunately it has been overcast and rainy all day today so the view wasn't as clear as it could have been.
So, that's pretty much all I've done today. A Monday with only one class that doesn't start until 2pm is a pretty sweet start to a week.
School in Europe is rad.
