1. i compulsively eat bebe's - from the light blue box. and chocolate. i've tried probably 7 kinds of milkas by now. i like 2 a lot.
2. i ask my boss where the veyce is and leave him and 2 other czechs behind with gina while i go take care of business. i come back as the czechs are talking in their strange language where it all comes out as one word... gina tells me that i had asked where the egg was. to which i ask adam (boss) "what did i say?" he says "veyce" "well then what's toilet?" "vece" -- oh yes, of course - it's the same word. (not really - but it's like chip and ship or something retarded that a foreigner can't tell). i respond with massive giggles to the point of tears streaming down my face. there is nothing composed about me so my boss continues to play up the joke that i ran off looking for an egg instead of a bathroom in an asian czech restaurace and gina and i give up trying to look like the calm, composed americans and laugh.
3 . i teach grammar and make up rules. and then after i say the rule - i immediately realize how incorrect i was. thank goodness i was teaching fellow teachers and not students. bc just bc a word has a double-g does not mean that it always sounds like a "j" as in suggested - clearly johhing has a "g" sound - more giggles. (don't worry. i spent this whole morning teaching myself verb tenses. so fun)
4. i hike up the tallest mountain in the cz on my 2nd saturday here. and tumble down the mountain, break my shades, etc. quote "i'm gonna fall on my face. i can feel it" - gina
apparently - my mind said - "nah. i'll do that for her. oh oh oh." trip. overcompensate. barrel roll horizontally down a hill with jagged rocks. only a couple bruises. 25 kilometers straight up and down. i feel accomplished for such a big hike.
5. i kill birds that fly into our house. ok. it wasn't a bird - but it was a mosquito south american style. we screamed and i swear there were demon mosquitos all over me while killing it bc i immediately itched all over and inside of my pants. i killed that damn thing though. and screamed and giggled.
6. i am an actress while my boss tries out his "new idea". yeah. green screen and all.
7. i don't know how to speak english well anymore. totally hard language.
8. i eat beets. ew. not as bad as i thought they would be
9. i drink espresso drinks bc drip coffee isn't sold in cafes
10. i wash my sheet to sleep with at night. not a problem in the states. 1.5 hours later - wash and dried. cz - big problem. washing takes forever and then you have to take it out - riiiing it out and then hang dry it. direct quote "oh i am an idiot"
11. i love life
12. i want to be quadlingual
