Since getting to Prague, the class has been lost many times. The best way to experience a city is to get lost and just wander the streets. This is exactly what we did, as a whole class, following our hopelessly lost Professor. 
The first night we saw a wonderful performance by Czech Philharmonic. After a long day or travel, the concert was very relaxing. So relaxing it put a few people to sleep.... After the concert Dr. Powell wanted to show us the main square of the Old Town of Prague. It's the center of the city and such a beautiful sight. What should have been a 7 minutes walk quickly turned into a 30 minute walk as we walked parallel to the square. We then turned away from it as the very tired class was walked around the city except for the part we wanted to see. Eventually we made it the square, exhausted and ready for bed. However then we had to find the hostel which is another story.
The next day we had a morning concert to watch the Benda Quartet. We left the hostel at 10:00 to find the performance venue. It should have taken 10 minutes. However, once we got there we found that it wasn't the the performance venue. The next 50 minutes would be spent running around, asking random stores where the concert was and rinse and repeat. We finally found the concert and only missed the first song and was able to catch the last 2/3s of the concert. We got to see a lot of Prague this way. I just wish it would have been in a little less stressed way.
Throughout this trip, we have had some issues with people showing up late to when we need to leave. However the best one, was when everyone was on time. We were set to leave at 10:00. Then out wonderful Professor who is leading the trip realized he forgot his camera. Now enjoy this photo of Dr. Powell arriving 6 minutes late to our "we are leaving at 10:00."
