mmhmm - i know all those words. i wrote a paragraph in cz. thank you thank you. mmhmm

it's late. i should sleep. i'm an adult now

sleeping is for wussies.

it has been a great week. a great week. one of my bffs at home has a new boyf - that's fun. the weather was kickin on monday and tuesday - like almost 50 degrees. i got new music from britt. simple art is awesome and my monday class is now meeting at a pub, which let's be honest, is way better than a stuffy office or classroom. and flawlessly, faith came up this week. it was fun to no pressure share part of my beliefs and hear student's opinions on why czechs don't generally have faith. and it left a ton of room for further discussion. and left room for me to learn more about what they think about God and higher powers and atheism, etc. this is the interesting stuff to me - stuff i couldn't get in southeastern, conservative, of-course-i-believe-so-i-don't-go-to-hell-United States. (i am not disregarding at all the hundreds of amazing people that have genuine faith there that i know). and it was the start of actual discussions w/ students that aren't so textbook and are more about becoming friends. yes friends.

and it's christmas in ostrava and lights are up on all the lightposts - snowflakes and bells and trees. and i've heard about cz christmas traditions. and i got an email from a student tonight thanking me for talking w/ him. yeah, man - you got it - simple to do. i know english. most of the time, it's not so difficult for me...

and alas, the weekend is one (eeeeaaarly) class and one meeting away. then 2 weeks. then austria. aaaah. smiles smiles smiles.
