The life of the fast and furious

Second semester really came hard and fast. (not the right wording?)
Were already in the romancing period of our scripts for our final films. It's hard to believe that we're already this far along. Come mid-April and I will def not have any kind of a life. I already am a slave to my computer. I'm in the midst of planning my summer plans and my senior year (gasp). I still can't believe it. I was talking with my roommate from Freshman year last night. She's graduating this year and already applying to grad schools and such. We were remembering the first couple of weeks of our freshman year. Though I am a little sad that i'm already 3/4th through my college years. It was nice to remember that it has happened and I feel like it's been a good run and with some luck it will continue to be the same fashion.
On another note, One thing that I don't mind sweeping by faster is my Czech lessons. If there is one thing in this world that was not meant to be; it's me and czech. Yes, I could try harder, but then again my heart isn't into it. I'm so use to doing french when learning a language that, that is always my default answer in my head, then I try in English, then in czech (but I don't know czech )so it's always a lose situation for me. It doesn't help that there is only three people in the class, so yes I stick out like a sore thumb.
I am getting ready to go to Amsterdam this weekend and I am guidebook stocked and ready to go. My plan of action is to be nerdy and see a film I want to see the day I arrive and then hit as many sites as possible before the rest of the crew arrives for the concert. I heard they had delicious brownies, so I might have to try one. :)

Hello world once more

SO, I believe it has been quite some time since i've posted. Life has been pretty slow paced lately. I know it is a tease due to the fact that come April, everything will begin to move in warp speed. I have begun the process of looking for summer internships in the New York area. It is such a daunting task. I never know what to say in cover letters or how to respond to personal questions and statements.
I have also begun work on my final film, which has been a challenging process as well. I think I finally came up with a treatment that I like and I will present it tomorrow. AHHHH. Hopefully, all goes well. I have two trips in the process right now. One in mid-March to AMSTERDAM to see a concert (yes the black keys) with some SLC friends of mine and another to Krakow, Poland.
I am enjoying this semester in Prague SO much more than my last. There is finally sunshine outside and it adds so much to the attitudes of everyone around.
This past weekend was the OSCARS.I'm so proud of THE KINGS SPEECH. It didn't begin here until 2am and I think I got home around 6am.. so lets just say the next day I was completely dead. I ended up going to one class, My czech class and the teacher was not too pleased with me. To be fair I don't think she is ever pleased with me. There are only three of us in the class now and I happen to be the as we say "third best in the class." I must say that I do add charisma to the class, so I have a purpose.
Well, I'm in my favorite coffee shop now... if your ever in PRAGUE (MAMACOFFEE). I shall go and enjoy my cup and finish up some work I have due tomorrow.

Kisses
