first week of classes...

Published 12 August 2005 by will | E-mail this post

first week back in school and getting into the swing of things. i have been really busy doing all kinds of school related junk - homework, etc. also i taught class 3 times this week. our class consisted of about 8-10 students who are anywhere from 16-50 in age. but it was really fun. i didnt have a problem teaching for the 45 minutes like i thought i would. but i guess if you ask anyone from the youth group at northcrest - they will probably tell you that i tend to be long winded anyway... so the first full week here has been good. i still dont really fell like i live here since i have not had much time to see a whole lot. but - soon enough the course will be over and i will be working. then i will have time to see some stuff and get involved with some other things. this weekend - i plan on seeing more things too. hopefully this will be better updated. trying to find an apartment so far has been pretty difficult. my knowledge of czech is slowly increasing and i am starting to be able to understand more and more. it is kind of fun - but this language is super hard.

just finished rob bell's book - velvet elvis'. it is really awesome. if you are looking for a good book to read and want to be challenged. check it out. i think i will post more about it when i get more time. right now i am reading the naked christian by craig borlaise. it is starting out kinda cool. gives me some new thoughts.

i have been overwhelmed by how many people are actually keeping in touch with me since i have been here. i get here at about 845 in the mornings and i usually have about 7 emails. granted - my two best friends Heater and Ashlyn are the main ones - but it is awesome. Thanks for the support and encouragement and prayers. I really appreciate it. I try to return all the ones i can. Hopefully I have returned them all. Anyway - pictures will get posted this weekend. I PROMISE!! And now - out to wander around the city.... Friday afternoon off is so very nice.

im not sure exactly what you have to do to call. i just know the country code is 420. maybe try calling the operator and ask how to go about making a call overseas. or look on google or something. anyway - try again fool. oh yeah - prague isnt quite as big as chucky town - and the castle here is nowhere near as cool as carla and rogers plantation out there...

William Horter- that I might drop you a line since I dropped the ball and didn't give you a ring before you boned out to Czech. Glad to know you are doing good and conserving water over there. Keep it real and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Peace!

Hey Will,
the pics were beautiful. sorry about all the rain, my hair would hate that weather, because you know that i don't look good with flat hair.
Love,
Cherrel
