What I want to accomplish

Night ViewPart of what excites me about this upcoming abroad experience is the unknown. I’m thrilled to discover places in a culture so foreign to me. Though I have a pretty solid idea of what to expect as I have studied the layout of Prague, the cuisine, the architecture, the famous philosophers and authors, etc., what I am not expecting happens to be the source of my nagging anticipation.
Aside from the fact that I have an utterly awesome schedule, that being two days a week, Mondays and Wednesdays, I am thrilled about the classes I will be taking: Twenty First Century Theatre Makers, Kafka and his Contexts, Production and Publication: Travel Writing, and Topics in 20th Century Music. All of these are in someway related to my specific area of study in Gallatin, that being music/television/writing and undoubtedly, I am excited to expand my knowledge of this area because these are subjects I have yet to study. For example, Twenty First Century Theatre Makers sounds fascinating, as it incorporates both acting and directing approaches, neither of which I have ever attempted.
One of my goals while in Prague is to journal/blog while I am there and also when I travel to other cities in Europe. The only other time I have recorded my travels is when I went to Japan a year ago and wrote down everything I did each day. Granted it was only 15 days, I still look back on that journal and am reacquainted with memories I otherwise would have forgotten. I think that documenting this experience will make it that much more lasting.
