Ahoj!!!!!! (pronounced Ahoy)

JAK SE MATE??? (how are you?????)

Jsem unavena!! (i am tired!)

I'm also trying desperately to retain all the Czech I have been learning in my intensive class. It's almost five hours a day, but today for the last hour we went on a walking tour of the city and our teacher used the new words we learned like museum and theatre and street and such to teach us a little about the city.

I'm living in a small suite (with a "kitchen" and bathroom) with three other girls (all very nice). It's in this budget hotel, but in a great part of the city. We walk to school every morning. It's a good 30 min walk, but it's gorgeous and we love it. I'm meeting new people constantly! Going out all the time. Constantly tired. Walking everywhere. Spending too much money, because we only get breakfast. Luckily everything is so cheap here! I can get an AWESOME dinner out for under $9.

Pictures of you all are up all around my empty bookshelves. No books because no classes yet, only czech for two weeks and then they all start at different, odd times. Speaking of... it's CRAZY getting classes here. I was supposed to be preregistered, but didn't get into anything! I found my way into two of the ones I wanted, but the times are horrible, but so far no classes friday or monday, so lots of long weekends for me!! My suitemate Laura and I are trying to get groups together to go just about everywhere on weekends.

I miss you all!! I've been writing lots of letters so wherever you are definitely keep posting your address! I finally know mine (I accidentally gave my dad the wrong address and the clothes I shipped ended up at the academic building!!)

But this is the right one:
Amanda Rowell 315A
Kolej KOMENSKEHO
Parlerova 6, 169 00 Praha 6
Czech Republic

Alright, I'm off for a nap so that I can go out tonight without having to be carried. But I love you and miss you all and keep posting. It has been awesome to read what everyone is writing!!
love--a
