any questions?

all the best, for now, im very excited!!!

I’m very excited too.  I was one of those people that slept in when everyone woke up early to pick their trips (oops), but I think I got a pretty good one when I signed up a few days later.  It’s the “music trip” but a non-music students are going to including my friend who was equally as spacey and signed up late.  We’ve both been asking around to see who we’ll be traveling with, and it seems to be a pretty awesome group of people seeing some pretty awesome things in the Czech Republic this weekend!

Oh i’d also like to point out that I wasn’t the one who found these pictures that I’ve included.  I guess there’s not much to see in Bzenec besides the wine festival.
