I recieved word from an source that my wonderful school back home has linked this blog to the school's website. Can I say that I feel real cool right now, 'cause I do. Well let me fill you in on my life these past few days.
So the whole job thing is may not be working out. I haven't recieved a call back from the manager on when they need me to come in. I think that I will call on Monday and see what is up in the Shamrock. If the job isn't there, I'll move on to the next place that needs an exceptional waitress.
Ankle Update: all is well in Ankle country. Prevention of swelling was the key here. Thank goodness I paid attention in Home Ec class when we were taught basic first aid. Who knew I would remember that almost 10 years later. Well, I have to admit, I googled what to do just to double check. I just want to say the I love Google and even though it's in Czech, I still know where all the buttons are.
And can I say, that is one weird thing about websites here. All the websites are in Czech. Wait, scratch that. I don't want to sound completey dumb here but it's so wierd to be used to seeing a certain site in English and then to have it in czech, geez. At least with Google I can change it to the American version. This site (yes, Blogger.com) is all in czech and I don't know what it says. I'm just thankful that I memorized which buttons I need back in english world.
I am getting ready to go to Bratislava and Budapest this weekend. One of the other exchange programs, CEA has over 35 students and they take several day and weekend trips throughout the semester to exotic and interesting locales. The CEA advisor is charging me the transportation and housing costs but they are such a bargain! I am only paying $200 for the entire trip. It dosen't hurt that I'll be with all my crazy cool friends either. I do have to pay for food but here in Eastern Europe, food is very affordable. You just need ot make sure you don't eat or drink in the tourist areas because they are outrageously expensive. Just a tip.
I have been sick the past few days from a sinus infestion but my czech roommate Mike took me to the pharmacy and helped me find everything I needed. I am so fortunate that I acted on my instinct to get a different flat than the ones that were provided from the school. I'm in a better part of Prague, closer to the center, and in a very Czech neighborhood. Oh, did I mention that it's cheaper? Sheesh, that goodness for that!
I'm going to hop into bed now. It's extremely late and I have to get another stamp or four on my passport this weekend. Wish me luck!
Nashledanou!
P.S. That means goodbye in czech. Bet you can't say it correctly on your first try.

I really enjoyed reading your blog. You remind me my trip to Prague. Prague looks great and the best way to explore this city is to get lost in it.
I spent one week there. Prague is amazing city. It is full of beautiful squares, beautiful architecture, and beautiful art. Also I really enjoyed my accommodation, because Prague hotels are not expensive and offers free transportation from airport.
Just look around at the great monuments, the Prague Castle with the Golden Lane and the St Vitus Cathedral, the facades in different colors and styles along the Vltava, the 1001 peaks all around, the numerous cathedrals, basilicas, churches, synagogues, the national theater, the lovely little alleys and so much more.
