tired as hell

i am tired. stayed up til 4:30 am last night drinking beer and hanging out with the classmates. we met this british guy named Robin who lives in our apartment complex, and he hung out with us... hes fricken hilarious and hes gonna be very useful to have around. he plays piano at bars around town including one right across the street on wednesdays and i expect most of the group to be there... good times. what else. almost all of my classmates are here now, except a couple who we have no idea where they are. its good to have a few days under my belt, beginning to use come czech phrases and getting responses, which means im finally saying them right. the beer is still good, but they have this dark beer thats insanely good. walked a lot today, saw a lot of the town, but forgot to bring my camera. taking lots of good pictures nonetheless. theres this small little pub across the street that has 50 cent budvars, and the bartender is starting to appreciate the business. last night went there and played cards and sipped some beer. can you do that in the us? so much more laid back here, and i really like it (obviously). really interesting city, and taking the classes will definately help understand the culture, etc. our field trips look great too, a bike trip to southern bohemia next week and budapest a few weeks later. i cant freaking wait. still dont have the confidence to try to talk to one of the BEAUTIFUL czech girls, but hope to by the end of the trip. a lot of really pretty girls everywhere. its completely commonplace to have a beer with every meal, and i would not be surprised if drank beer for breakfast at least once. anyway, im gonna try to take a nap, i got literally 4 hours of sleep. plus i have my first reading assignment. oh yeah, the allergies that i thought i could leave behind in the states followed me over in grand fashion. bought some clariton, lets hope it helps. heres a picture of the cool store and me working on a spare tire. miss you all. by the way, can people send me their addresses? if you do, i will definately send you a postcard. you might not get it until after i come back, but its the thought that counts right? june 18th is almost over, while yours is just beginning. hope it was as good as mine.
