stastny novy rok...happy new year

zaha hadid

I had to prepare a report about one industrial building or complex of buildings for one of my university courses. And I ve found out really interesting architecture - architect studio of Zaha Hadid. This womnen was the first architect-women that got the Pritzker price which is something like Nobel prize among architects. This price is given every second year and Hadid was the winner three years ago. One of things which I read about her and which sounded really interesting to me was that before she went to architecture universities she got a degree at Mathematics...:-)

christmas time

It is almost the end of December and I am still alive :-)) I managed to survive doing shopping two days before Christmas (that means that half of czechs were in shops at the same time), I survived all visits of family and all food and cookies. I am really happy about that :-) It is not easy to have Christmas in Czech - acording to our traditions we prepare sweet cookies at home and it is usual to make more sorts of cookies to show the rest of your family how good you are...

I am not so ambitious to be among the best cooks :-)) Anyway we prepared some cookies with my sweet small sister, decorated nice christmas tree, exchanged presents and spent some nice days together...

13. 12. party in PM bar

Somehow, the end of semester is again here :-(( Among the last presentation were slovenian guys and my russian roommates, so I had to come to see them... And especially the russian presentation was really cool and funny.

But, I felt there really sad... I mean, I know I was erasmus student and I enjoyed that time a lot but anyway... I think I know a lot of foreign students here but sometimes I feel strange among them. All the time new people, you just get to know them and they leave. Like one of my russian roommates, she had to leave to Krasnojarsk to do her diploma. And my own roommate will leave soon as well and everything comes again - meeting people, talking to them sometimes, trying not to fix on them a lot...

15. - 25. 11. madrid

I ve just skipped two months in writing this page when I was slowly getting used to czech rules and my university study... Since I have come back I am "active" member :-)) of our International Student Club at my university, which gives me opportunity to be among lot of interesting people... not only foreign students who are coming to spend their exchange program here but I was lucky to meet lot of nice czech friends as well.


At the beginning of October I ve applied for Athens course. It is kind of exchange program, maybe more like workshop... You go abroad for one week, you attend course which you choose and except that you can spend some time out of Prague. My first choice for Athens course was Milano because of interesting topic of their session. Unfortunately more people thought that this course sounds really great and I was chosen to go to Madrid. This capital of Spain was my second option and the course was called River Restoration Systems...



I enjoyed that ten days a lot. I didnt have to think about any duties for university, for ISC, it was nice break :-))

23. 9. back to prague

After my erasmus study and lovely summer I had to come back to Prague and back to my university study... I expected the reality but I felt really shocked and depressed at my first lessons of steel and concrete structures :-((

Lot of my friends felt sad and lonely when they had to leave Ljubljana and their Erasmus stay. I was almost first when I had to leave to Croatia but I didnt feel so lonely, I had quite a lot of work and my job was dealing with people. But I felt so strange coming back to school. Of course, I was attending classes in Ljubljana but more time I spent there just working on project - no calculations of structures, not so strict teachers, more enjoying,...
