Yesterday I went with Shannon, her boyfriend, and some of his friends to the Highland Park. We did cartwheels and played frisbee, which I totally suck at. The boys can play frisbee while they're riding their bikes, the bastards. But Shannon can hurdle the length and height of a bike, so there. She kept challenging me to races, which was kinda ( Read more... )

Ah, it's been very very good to be home. I've spent most of my time watching Stargate Atlantis with Mom. Nobody does marathons like the Amon ladies. We're just finishing up Season 2 now. She's finally agreed to watch Supernatural, so as soon as it comes in from Amazon we'll be tackling that, and Ryan's also interested in seeing it. I may not leave ( Read more... )

I just got a birthday package from my best friend Cindy! This is the Cindy in LA, not the Cindy in Korea. I was pretty surprised, she'd asked me for my address awhile ago but I forgot about it. I opened up the package and the first thing I saw were Trader Joe's bars and I almost started crying. Tereza was pretty confused why I was so happy about ( Read more... )

Thanks everybody for the bday facebook comments/lj entries/emails! :) I was out last night of course, and today is busy with end-of-the-month hours business and planning for some new classes I picked up that don't have books so I need to actually, ya know, work, and then Thursday is Tereza's bday and tomorrow I really need to do stuff like grocery ( Read more... )

Today we went to Dresden to file for our visas, which is my 19th country! I didn't get a passport stamp though. :( There's not even a border. Sigh. But it was very pretty so I'm posting pics! Before I post pics of Prague! Cause...I'm weird. I don't know. I'm not happy with my Prague pics. But most of these are dec, aside from the lame gray sky ( Read more... )

I think I've bitched to a lot of people how bar+alcohol focused the Prague social life is. Despite that, I'm having a good time. Helen's still awesome, and I still see some other people from ITTP occasionally. Mostly I'm hanging out with people from my Czech class - Wade, Alicia, and Grant. Also Tereza, the secretary/demigoddess at Mezibranska ( ( Read more... )

I had a good day! I haven’t really had many bad days, but today was extra awesome. :) Well first, for comparison, I should point out that my last onsite lesson didn’t go very well. I forget if I’ve said this already, I think not…I did a lesson about the environment, it was for upper-intermediate so it was more serious and advanced than my pre- ( Read more... )

On Friday I went to see caverns and then eat Thai food with Cindy and her family. I might post pics when I get home if any came out cool. We felt so poor! Stuff is so expensive here, Cindy's used to LA but I'm still on Rochester pricing. Like the caverns were $17 admission, and then $3.25 for a tiny crappy slice of pizza but I had to get it because ( Read more... )

So obviously one of the bad things about moving is leaving my friends behind. I have Laura in DC, but that's about it. Sadness ( Read more... )
