Thursday was the day of the Farewell Party, so after
spending the afternoon sunbathing by the lake, we headed to the castle. First
of all, all the classes (except A1, who was missing members who had gone to a
concert) sang their songs. A2 sang a song about students in the pub and in
class, then we (B1) sang our song about the rain. Afterwards, B2 (Misha and
Sheffield!Nic’s class – though Misha refused to sing) sang about bees and
flowers. I couldn’t understand what C1’s song was about, but it was very
pretty. We then gave our teacher, Zuzanna, flowers to say thank you for
teaching us. I think she’s been one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Not
only did she make the lessons fun, but she seemed to instinctively know when
people were having problems with an exercise and she’d come over and help. I
also like the way she only used English as a last resort, instead she’d find
different ways to say it in Czech. I’ll miss not having her as a teacher. After
the songs, we watched some members of the summer school put on a production of
Alice in Wonderland. Then it was time to eat. The Summer School had put on a
buffet, complete with free drinks, which of course included free alcohol!
Within the alcohol was sect, which is the Czech version of Champagne and is
delicious! Perhaps even better than Champagne itself…There was also a band
playing both modern and traditional Czech songs, meaning we got to show off
your polka dancing skills. It also played songs we knew, such as YMCA, but in
Czech! After the party finished, we headed to a club not 200 yards from the
Castle that played 70s and 80s songs. It was strange not having to pay for
entry and still getting cheap drinks. I wish there were more clubs like that in
the UK!
