update

life in ostrava is maintaining its fast pace. you can always tell how full my calendar is by the appearance of my room. who has time to hang clothes when there are people to hang out with, lessons to plan, classes to teach and pubs to visit? let's be honest - who ever has time to hang up clothes when there is aaannything else to do?

last weekend, we cheered our little hearts out for the ostrava arrows baseball team. our cheering wasn't quite enough and draci defeated them in the final 2 games of the series giving them the title and the arrows a second place. saturday night, i had the weight of the world on me. you see -- i was the world. and bean was the moon. several americans and czechs gathered to celebrate the birth of our friend ash and adorned ourselves in ridiculous costumes - it was quite a treat. i'm glad that halloween is not going un-celebrated though we are far across the sea.

this coming weekend our friends from praha are coming and i am oh so excited. 

classes are going well. i had one cancelled yesterday and another cancelled this morning. se la vi. bible study on monday nights is kickin and refreshing. 

my biggest disappointment thus far has been that i have no youth classes. i really wanted to be able to teach high schoolers. re-visit it from the times i used to work w/ them and see how it felt to play a role of teacher to see if it was something i would want to do long-term in the future. but ta-daaa - i think i may just have something better. younglife is starting a new english club at a local gymnazium (which is high school here), so today at 2pm, i will help host/ coordinate that. some of the kids know about it and are super excited. and i'm excited bc i can play less teacher role and more just me role. we'll see how it goes. i'm feeling a little less than creative these days with ideas on how to make english fun at all times. but i'm way excited to meet more students and spend time with them. 

i would really appreciate it if someone in the states would send me chick-fil-a, the restaurant. other than that, no complaints for today :)
