fleeting days.

first thing's first: pictures of the last few days!

test preparation method: 

red bull, apple, and coca lite. this is the way of a champion! 

i've developed an odd habit of stalking old people to take their picture. they are just the cutest little things ever.  maybe it's b/c i miss all my oldies in the choir... who knows? anyway, here are a few pictures of oldies for you. 

  

this lady is so cute. i wanted to go hug her. but czechs don't like to be touched. or smiled at. or said hello to. 

this old man was a cutie, also. he had a striped little cane that reminded me of Christmas. 

friday we had our final exam(s). one was on grammar and one was on methodology. i'm pretty excited that i studied for hours material that wasn't on the test. (insert sarcasm) but if anyone needs to know the 6 types of pronouns...i know them all. ha. on another note, here are the rest of the pichas. 

this chocolate egg knew czech, english, and how to give a thumbs up.

APPLE STROODLE! i didn't eat anything all day, and if you cannot tell from the expression on my face - i was pumped up about this baby! it was delectable, too. they said it came with 'ice cream' but a tiny little miniature spoon full was all i received. i think the chef ate the other half. 

my brit and aussie. they are the best! 

my teacher olga. she is probably the shyest person i've ever met in my entire life. i think i scared the crap out of her with my outgoing-ness. but she smiled even still for the camera! much love olga! 

my aussie. this is marek. he and i fought like a couple that'd been married for 25 years. but he loved it. :)

sara and i with our favorite englishman, dan. 

this is william. he's from connecticut. 

this is andrew. orneriness runs in our veins! he and i were like two peas in a pod (what an idiom!). we were the entire class. (sorry classmates... you know we were the charisma that made that class what it was.)

okay. so there are just a few pictures from the last outing we all had as a group. it was actually a great evening. i forgot to mention that there were only 4 girls in my class and 9 guys. hence, all the pictures with the guys. haha. it was great. guys are much much better than girls! ha. 

on another note, we are sending out resumes to asia like crazy. we've heard back from a few of them, but it is still up in the air. please keep praying that we go where the Lord wants us to go. tonight all our roomies move out! hallelujah! hahahaha. guys are great and all, but living with them was an experience to me. it will be nice not to have people eat my food. haha. sara and i are looking forward to the peace and quiet these next few days will bring. (amongst the frantic collaboration of forwarding email resumes and contracts)

i don't know much else. tonight we are going to go hang out with will. (the crouching tiger guy in the picture) he has been living in prague for a year. i'm not sure what we are going to do, but it'll be fun. life is never dull when i am around. haha. 

okeydokey. 

much love from praha,

kam-dogg.

whadda week.

hey guys and gals! my apologies on the delay again... it's been a crazy hectic week. i will get into more details later, but i wanted to share these pictures from sunday that we took.

this is my new best friend richie. i ALMOST ALMOST stole him from this poor old lady. oh man he was so cute!! (no worries petey, he had nothing on you... except really soft fur)

    

i think the local metro riders were NOT a fan of me. they kept staring at me and giving be dirty looks. i even more enjoyed it b/c of that factor. i have about 20 pictures like this. FANTASTIC! 

 

i still hate escalators. but i love starbucks. somedays, when all i have to eat is peanut butter and jelly... i go to this starbucks, and i think of home and how the food in america is much better. but that the frappicino i got will suffice me until i return to good food land.

  

a two person bike. HOLY MANOLY i almost stole it!!

  

this is the municiple court  - it is where all the orchestras go and play. i almost went to hear gershwin the other day, but it was too expensive. darn the luck. 

  

this is at namesti republiky. i probably spelt that wrong, but i'm too lazy to go look it up. anyhow, it is a national geographic exhibition. i look at them like every other day. i am just fascinated. these pictures are absolutely ABSOLUTELY amazing. i could stare at them for hours. this is why i want to work for national geographic!! one day! one day! 

 

this was FUN. i have been eyeing the bottom pilot mask for like three weeks, and finally went and tried them on. the top is of an old air force mask. just call me buzz light year, y'all!  

 

these pics below should be presidential slogans! 

1. 2.

1. We all realized that we all bring out the best in each other, so why would you want to stop?

2. PEACE IS THE WAY. 

KAM!!! A BOOK IN CZECH ABOUT ME. so awesome! 

this is actually a book. how pathetic. i suppose anyone can write a book! 

 

the leaning tower of treeza... hahahaha.

  

 

they don't mess around with these marionettes. freakin weird. 

a.   

b. 

c.  

a.pinocchio was greeting all of the tourists walking by. he was a swell dancer, he was! 

b. they have those russian dolls all over the place. freaks me out! 

c. i wanted to buy this shirt in bulk, but i couldn't afford it, and it didn't have SHE instead of HE. 

 

  

  

prague. oh yes. bridges, trams, coca lites and policie. can't get enough of 'em. 

 

they don't mess around with their graffiti! they go big or go home! let's do this in amarillo! 

this is a monument dedicated to the students who were clubbed to death by the police. it was a pretty intense monument for sure. 

alright. so it has been a crazy last week. sara and i have come up against several obstacles with our job searching. we have been continually mislead by the school we are at. the "job guidance coordinator" hasn't even been here for half of our course, and pretty much fed us continual lies to get our money. sara and i are now at the end of our course, finding out that our certificate is basically ONLY valid in eastern europe. which is NOT italy or spain..or france or anywhere where we told him we wanted to go. there isn't much we can do now, though, as we are at the end of the course and tomorrow is our final exam(s). so instead of complaining about how pissed off i am that our resources here suck and that the main guy is the most convincing liar i've ever met... i'm just going to ask for prayers that sara and i find a good job wherever we need to go. even though i cannot wait to NOT recommend this place to everyone i speak with. which, in itself, is unfortunate b/c the teaching was superb, but the resources and higher-up people were awful. a shame. a shame. 

  

also, i just thought you'd like to see the amount of stairs we climb every day (like 4 times a day) to get to our classroom. oh yes. every. single. day. 

i don't know much else, other than to just ask for prayer that Jesus puts us where we need to go, in a sweet place where i won't have to eat pb and j every day. i think since italy and spain are out of the question, we are headed to look at japan or thailand. hopefully once we score a secure job, i can RETAKE the CORRECT course and go back to italy/spain the following year. but in the mean time, we just need a job! haha. 

alrighty. i miss you all and hope this finds you boomingly well! 

there's a picture of my feet to tide you over! :)
