thursday we found an apartment. it is so very cool. we are living in a neighborhood called zizkov. praha 3 to be exact. 8 Blahnikova . It is exactly the kind of place that i thought i would be living in when i moved here. a really old building - about 50 yards from a tram stop. about 5 minutes from the city center. about 15 minutes from the school. so so nice. so so happy about this. it was an answered. prayer. inside are 2 bedrooms with a living room/kitchen and a bathroom with a real shower! 2 real bedrooms with a living room are really hard to find here. plus the building has been redone immaculately. we even have a lift. it is on the 2nd floor (the third in american terms - they count the 1st as the ground floor here). Cobblestone streets - yeah the whole works. i am excited. well - enough about that. so anyone who wants to come stay - we have plenty of room now. open invite...

tomorrow i will have been gone for 3 weeks. that is 3 weeks of a lot of different stuff too. 3 weeks without seeing the folks i love, 3 weeks that have actually gone by pretty quick. i am going to church here in a bit with chewy and a buddy from tennesse. should be cool.

went out with a student that is from slovakia last night - who was trying to teach matthew and another roommate of ours czech all night. fun stuff going out with a local who actually knows what the heck she is talking about when ordering and talking to the staff at places. so it was an intersting night getting an insiders perspective about life here. ok - im off to work on a paper. homework. i forgot how much fun it was...
