...well, well, well, look who decided to come home. i did. was i gone two months? it feels like i never left, except summers almost over. was there a preseason football game on yesterday? wow. so yesterday was one of the longest days of the year. i left prague at about noon yesterday (local time) and arrived here in seattle about 5pm last night. doesnt sound bad, unless you consider the 9 hour time difference. plus i routinely got searched, frisked, and questioned in prague, london, then once i returned to seattle. "so why were you in the czech republic? did anyone give you anything to bring back to the states?" i understand that security was tight, especially here in the states, but it seemed that any chance to hassle me was taken advantage of. i got frisked twice in london. i guess my beard was a little too long for their liking.
but the trip is over, and i am here in seattle. i made a lot great friends, drank some good beer and met a very cool norwegian girl named marie. i hung out with (and fought with) my sister in foreign countries, ate more greasy food than i had in the year previous, and gained fifteen credits toward my bachelors degree. i also have no money, no job, and about 3000 things to do (or so it seems). the good thing is that i have become pretty motivated. i got up this morning at about 7, and have been busily cleaning, organizing, and getting myself for the next chapter. although i probably got up that early because of jetlag, i still want to give myself some credit. 
going to set up some interviews for next week, update that resume, and maybe even get a haircut and trim up the disgusting beard i have grown. the time is now.
going to set up some interviews for next week, update that resume, and maybe even get a haircut and trim up the disgusting beard i have grown. the time is now.things i will miss: not having to work, cheap (yet also delicious) beer, a great transportation system, great water pressure in the showers (shower heads they use on circus animals apparently), bbq tortilla chips, being close to everything (in prague itself and of course in europe), no last calls, the gross sandwiches from the mini mart on zitomirska, waking up on a train both sweating and cold, the "luxury" of not having a cellphone, alex's giant bottles of pop (see picture), 
sitting in a pub and not hearing any loud obnoxious americans, cheap beer, girls with accents (im gonna have trouble with that one), the wonderful czech krown, mon ami (just slightly), not showering for days, dancing like a fool in foreign countries, czech girls (more than anyone will ever know), droppin dueces on trains, old buildings, the kutna hora tourguide, euro mullets, rafting on the vltava river, naked statues, and - most of all - the fantastic fifteen, my professors, and a certain norwegian girl named marie.

, my friends and especially everyone who read this. you know who you are.is this it?? not really. im thinking i want to continue to blog, as it will be inspiration to make my life a little more exciting. it was a fun ride though, this prague thing, but its over. and now i have to find a job, cause i invested a little too much into the czech beer economy.
