Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Yesterday, we had the unique opportunity to attend a baseball game here in Prague. Laura, Jessica and Phoebe, friends from Ostrava, faithfully followed their team, the Ostrava Arrows to Prague for the last game of their series. A few of us joined them to cheer the Arrows on. It was quite and experience. There are some die-hard Czech fans, who cheered (loudly with horns and a train whistle) for the entire game. It was great! We tried to start them out on the 7th inning stretch, with a stirring rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" but, I think they will have to practice it in the off-season. The Arrows pulled it out, after a very scary 8th inning. Nothing like a little taste of America's pastime in Prague!

Gotta Love Fridays!

TGIF! I love my Fridays. I only have one class at 11:50 and then I am free for the weekend. As an added bonus, I really have a lot of fun with my Friday class. They keep me on my toes, but are some really nice kids. I also just found out that in addition to having Thursday off for a holiday, my school is giving us Friday off as well. Yeah for my first 4 day weekend. What to do? What to do? Oh yeah, and did I mention how amazing this place is, as I am typing and looking out the window of the English office, the Prague castle is sitting in the distance. What is the dream that I am living?
I promise that I will have some real photos up soon: of my flat, school and the city!

I'm still here!

Sorry, it's been awhile since I have posted anything. Life here in Prague has been kind of a whirlwind the past week and a half. I finally started classes on Wednesday. I am teaching 16 different classes each week. Most of them are conversation lessons with "freshmen" and "sophomores." I also have 5 seminar classes with juniors and seniors which my students are taking to get ready for their final oral exams this year or next. So that's school in a nutshell, I am sure I will have many stories as the year goes on, so don't be afraid to ask.
