oh dear, i am at the internet cafe with my czech flat buddie, Simona, and i just realized that i didn't bring the converter for my charger and i also probably have to buy a power converter....
anywho i'll make this fast, which i shame cause i actually have good things to say finally. and picture to boot!
you'll just have to use your imagination.
so i'm here, but you got that. first day was weird. very much like birthright. i took a cab to the hotel where everyone met. it was a sweet hotel but it was weird being mixed up with a bunch of strangers my age along with czech strangers my age (like the israeli soldiers) who feel kinda like camp couselars cause they're helping us so much.
so then we went to our appartments, which are pretty cute, like my appartment last term but bigger, taller ceilings and big doors but kinda run down. it's in a cool part of town though. right by a big old church.
prague looks like a campier version of paris.
so then we went to school, which is cool, just like an old building with only classes for american kids in this program.
oh my roomates are simona and emily (from new jersey goes to colorado u, and andrea lee who goes to georgetown and is from maryland). i feel more of a culture shock from the east coast kids than i do from czech people.
east coast kids wear silly bands (weird plastic bracelets that make shapes when you take them off), and all the kids in the program are rich! which i guess makes sense concidering. it's hard for me not to judge them for it, but i'm trying.
ok well ii'm afraid my computer will die soon, so i'll post this just in cases and then try to show you some pictures
It is so awesome to hear all of this! i'm super excited to hear more. I can't believe that you got a apartment even better than yours last year! I'm already missing you of course, It's first thursday and I really wanted to go but had no one to go with and i know you would have come with me! Anyways talk to you soon.
