welcome weekend.

my first week of school is ova. finito. done. peace out. 

hallelujah! 

it was a week of firsts for sure. first time to learn czech, first time to eat disgusting DISGUSTING goolash or however you spell it ...should just be spelt like ga-ross. (like guh-rose). my mother informed me of how super proud she was of my punctuation and capitalization on my blog. i think knowing it bugs her...makes lowercasing everything that much FUNNER. (hahahaha... 'more fun'). 

anyhow. first time teach an english lesson to a foreign student....or, to a czech student. first time to see prague and the castles. first time to live with a musician, a scottish man with a killer accent...who only brought 3 t-shirts with him...(seriously...couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't do it!!). tonight i had the privilege of playing in a 3-on-3 basketball game. i dont know if it's all czechs...but these czechs sucked at ball. i was like you have got to be kidding me. my scottish roommate ewen (u-win) and i played with them. now, granted, he sucked too. but it was quite interesting being a part of that group. i felt like i was watching the special olympics...it was fun, though. i think i will go to the supermarket and buy a basketball tomorrow. we have a bball court outside our flat, and it would be fun to shoot and beat all the czechs. perhaps i can bet them and then steal their money with my mad skills. it's only fair...they took my money today at lunch. 

this whole food thing here blows. it just sucks a big one. when i see spaghetti...i think of spaghetti...you know...pasta and sauce. their spaghetti...noodles and a pile of spinach with quail eggs. are ya kiddin me? seriously. i almost threw up in my mouth. so i ate bread. yep. i got to pay 13 bucks for a meal i didn't eat. at least i got a coca lite. i did, however, find a SUBWAY on the way home and devoured into one of their turkey and cheese sandwiches; which, might i add...is much better than the ones in the states. one point for czech. too bad the rest of the food here blows. i was on such a roll...ha.

after class today i had my first meeting with Josef (YO-SEF)...or "joe." and throughout our conversation, i found out that he plays soccer every single night, loves traveling as much as i do, and doesn't believe in God. seriously. what a bummer it is to find out that ALL these czech's are missin' the sweet love of hey-sus. i'm hoping that throughout my time with them, i can shed some of the light of Jesus to them; that if nothing else they can sense something different about me that they want to have (and not just my lovely ralph lauren scent). haha. 

tomorrow i plan on going and printing off some of my pictures and mailing them as postcards. neat-o 'eh? i know, i know. we have the day off! YEA BOI. actually, the school is open in the morning if we want to work on our lesson plans. luckily for me...i am a procrastinator...so i don't need to go this early. that'd be weird. haha. my mom just keeps getting prouder and prouder of me, i'm sure. ha. speaking of, christopher norton - my mother informed me you were one of the 6 finalists? what is this world coming to? your competition must blow. hahahaha. i tease, i tease. congratu-freakin-lations. that's fantastic. i will inform the czechs and we will throw a party when you win. i will also somehow talk to the czech papers and have them write a story about you. be looking for a long-distance call in the next few days...and get a translator. i will give you a heads up:

hello - "dobry-den"

that's about all i got on the czech language. it is not cool. it hates americans...as do most czechs. today we almost got eaten alive by a mean waiter. then he asked where we were from and i told him Texas and all of a sudden he was our friend. everyone loves a texan. :) 

alrighty, i miss you all and love you to the moon and back...and maybe even to jupiter...which was a planet when i was your age. 

ciao people,

kam-dogg. 

this is my "if i don't get a freaking decent meal i'm going to jump off this building face." :)
