Pics

There are some very belated Ireland photos on my photo page. They took a really long time to upload...so I'm sorry, but I am gonna take another break before I try to upload any others.

Update

I guess its been awhile since I wrote anything. So here's the update.
Being back in Prague after break was fun. Kelsey and I went out to a true European dinner (got to the restaurant around 7:30, got home around 11:00). We ordered way more than we would usually, but figured since we weren't spending money traveling we could treat ourselves. It was wonderful. Then on Friday we unfortunately had a fire in the courtyard of our building. It was a bit scary, as it was a fairly large fire, but it was confined to the courtard and only burned a the outside walls. Luckily everything was fine. We went to our assistant program director's house to get a little sleep (the fire was a 4:30am) and when we came back everything was back to normal.
Leah came to visit!! It was awesome. We showed her all of the touristy places...and tried to recount what we have learned in our Prague as a Living History Class (I'm afraid we didn't do a very good job). It was very nice to have Kelsey's and my other third. We have missed her - and miss her still :) I was also very excited last weekend that the movie 27 dresses was released in Prague. Corny, I know, but it was really cute. And anything in English (even if it has Czech subtitles) is very relaxing.
My mother will be happy to know that we have found a house to live in next year at school. Kelsey, Leah, Alyssa and myself will be roommates! It looks nice from the pictures, although it has some ugly 1970's wood paneling. A group of senior girls live there right now and are moving out. Its a little bit away from campus, probably about a 15 minute walk (so I might want to get a bike...although I'm dreadful at bike riding).
Tonight Kira, Kelsey, and I are going to see Aida. I think Kira and I are also going to see a chamber music concert on Saturday or Sunday. So this week should be a good cultural week.
We are also going to the town Cesky Krumlov on a class trip tomorrow. I am excited (excpet for the fact that we are meeting in front of school at 7am, which means I have to get up around 6am :( It should be interesting though. I have heard good things about Cesky Krumlov. Also, I think it will be fun to have a class trip...I haven't had one since...8th grade?
