After ice-breaking weekend
It is something like 3 in the morning and i couldn't sleep if my life depended on it right now. I think it's cause I've just thrown off my sleeping habits so poorly with all of this going to bed at 4 AM every night, and then waking up late. O well, now I can try and catch up a little before school starts. So, we watched the Super Bowl. We were looking for one bar, but found a different one, full of Americans. Of course, who else watches the super bowl? this was actually great for me, it was a nice comfort zone early. It was great to talk with people who were great at English and loved American football. Of course, many beers unsued, BBQ flavored popcorn and a sausage at the vendor in the main square followed, and good times with these guys from Washington going to Charles University were a result. And I did meet this guy who was traveling all around Europe, and he told me about working in the Greek Isles. I think, this is what I want to do this summer. I didn't even watch the third quarter cause I just talked with this guy about his travels and what his next plan of action was and stuff. Funny enough, he was also the first black guy I had seen, much less talked to. But he was a nice guy, good insight, very genuine. Of course, going to bed at 5AM is never any good when I have to get up at 830 the next day, which of course was the case. Today, I met with Nika after 830 (I was tired), and we go to the square to get my phone situation worked out, which it did, finally! Good thing Nika has been so much help, because I could not of done any of this. But then she dropped me off at school to finish the rest of my duties such as registering for classes and such, and getting ID's. this was terrible. Not only was I exhausted but everything here is so unorganized. It's almost as if they really had no plan until people start showing up in throngs, and they they are confused, and like, wow, i didn't know people were coming today. But everything went smoothly, except for some reason I wasn't signed up for ice-breaking weekend, although everyone else and their mother was. This made me very frustrated to go along with my state of exhaustion. It's funny these small things I take for granted in America, like how much effort is really put into things that really just make something like a registration day run smoothly. My mom is very good at this, and nobody sees how much work she puts into some of the stuff she does. So good work mom. But tonight was the first low-key night, as we enjoyed going to sleep at a reasonable hour. The reason was, that nobody wanted to be tired for the next day as we were taking a trip to the Prague castle!
