Laying right beside you, they said it wouldn't last...

I am TOO tired for Prague!

Well at least tonight. These intensive Czech classes have been quite the pickle. I see why they are neccesary for being here in Prague but they also infringe on my desire to go out. Let's put it this way: You are the only man left in the world. You are mega-horny. There's a girl (or guy, transsexual,...dog, whatever). Sounds great, right? WRONG. She is fish from the waist down. What do you do? That's the kind of predicament I'm in in a very irrelevant analogy.

Anyways, I feel like everyone in Machova, and probably all of Osadni and Slezska are going out tonight and here I am writing a rousing post on my blog. Exciting! I really wish I were out though. Errbody is at the Peach Pit or somewhere in Old Town. I, however, can see myself just sitting there silent not talking to anyone and wish I was in bed (which is slightly how I feel right now, but I love you all so much that I'm updating this for all two readers of this blog). I mean, in that situation, it's pretty much a rape/rob/molest/harm invite. Hell, who needs a roofy (or is roofie?) when I'm this tired. They could drag me away into a shady tinted-window van and I don't think I'd put up a fight. At least I'd be able to lay down in there.

But yeah. Czech classes are pretty intense. I can't do that "heecchhh" sound from the back of my throat. You know, that sound when you're about to spit something out from the back of your throat. I also find it really hard to roll my Rs in the middle of words. I can roll my Rs regularly, but when you throw it in the middle of a word that's just too much for my tongue to handle. I'm hoping the rolling of Rs isn't too important because if it is, I'm screwed. But I guess I can have some solace in the fact that if I order a cake and get a punch in the face instead, I'll know why. Anyways, Czech classes are over for now, but I'm definitely interested in looking in to just going to the Czech classes to sit in; I figure if I'm here for four months, I might as well try my best to learn the language.

So days and days of waking up semi-early around 9AM reached its climax (yeah, that's right--wakeup times can reach climax....unlike your Mom. HEY OH!) this morning when most everyone woke up godawful early to make it to the NYU Center to signup for the overnight and day trips. I wasn't too worried; a lot of the people wanted the spa overnight trip (and by 'people' I mean people with vaginas) and lots of other people wanted to the trip to Fasanky for Czech Mardi Gras (and by 'other people' I mean people with a dangly non-vaginal thing between their legs). We thought signups started at 8:30AM but really it was 8AM so we were a little panicky. But it all ended up okay; I got the overnight trip I wanted. It's a trip to Olomouc where we get to go to museums and look at a college town in Moravia and stuff. Sounds pretty ballin. The daytrip I got was not my first choice; I really wanted to go to Snezka and hike the tallest mountain, but I guess it wasn't in the cards for me. Now I'll just have to pick off the people ahead of me on the waitlist to get to go. Anyways, I ended up getting to go to Kutna Hora which is nothing to bitch about. I also got to sign up for the overnight trip to Hlinsko where I get to hangout with some highschool kids and live with a host-family. I'm pretty excited!

But yeah, Prague has been good so far. I finished my first beer today! Not that that is something hella impressive but on the Patrick-meter it's like building a rocket. And then flying that rocket to a newly discovered planet, only to find that it is the next inhabitable earth and then usurping all power of governance over this planet. Yeah...

So yeah, classes start on Monday and I'm pretty excited. I really hope I won't have to drop my Czech Art and Architecture class, but we'll see how things go I guess.

Well, as I said, I'm incredibly tired. So bye!

Na Shledanou,
