okay boys and girls, im back. it feels as if i have not blogged in a while. i apologize to all you loyal readers (and i know there are many of you). i had midterms due this past friday and so that occupied most of my time last week. i did two papers - one on the educational system under communism (it was a tough topic choice, by the way) and another for my visual culture class on a stalin statue in budapest that is only boots. fun stuff. i think my last blog was on phil collins, yeah? well i am still rocking some genesis on the iTunes. i hope everyone went out and bought that cd. anyway - went out friday night - beach volleyball again, but i could not play since ive been put on the dl. my back is better, but i didnt want to risk it. playin it safe, glad i did. got up early saturday morning for an optional field trip to kutna hora, an hour away from prague on the train. i was a little sleepy but i was a trooper. we went to a bone church - which is literally a bunch of art inside a church made of purely human bones. little creepy. ive also figured out that when they charge you more in order to take pictures inside a touristy place, its all a matter of honesty. i didnt pay, but there were not camera police in sight so i snagged some photos, which i will post later since i have not yet uploaded them. saved myself 50 crown. anything helps at this point when you are on a budget. ive become really cheap on this trip. didnt start out that way. but anyway - we went on a tour of the silver mines after lunch and we had the greatest tourguide ever. actually the most beautiful one ever. teresa - have a picture but once again not uploaded yet. i recommend going to kutna hora just so you can go on this tour and meet her. i might be in love. but then again so is every male that takes her tour. i will post picture later and you will all see. she basically made the trip. all the getting up early and sweating like mad was worth the hour and a half she was in our presence. anyway - sorry. the tour was pretty cool also we went way underground and it was pretty fun. i was pretty exhausted by the time we got to prague and all i could muster was a game of hearts and an early bedtime.
so how is life in seattle? anything happening? i feel so out of touch over here. thats the only downside of being over here. i miss the conveniences of home, but i gotta say this is really good for me to get me to step out of the comfortable bubble i live in in seattle. i really wish i did this earlier. please tell me someone wants to travel next summer. its very liberating.
i feel like i was going to blog about something else, but it has since left my mind. actually i remember, but i feel like its too soon to blog about. gimme a week.
song of the day - "the medication is wearing off" by eels. awesome song. eels is actually one guy (he writes a lot of depressing songs - his mom died of cancer and his sister killed herself). but theres an element of hope in his music and thats what i like. this particular song is just flat out cool. simple and cool. anyway. hope all is well in the west. the weather has cooled here, hoping that summer has arrived in the emerald city. i gotta go, time to musk up.
