So yesterday we got up around 9am and went to school. I have to take a tram (like a cable car) to school every morning. On actual school days I have to be at the tram at 8:15 to get to class on time. I haven't had any trouble getting up early yet.
We went to class and had a big meeting where they discussed our classes, ID cards and schedules. I have my address but I left it in the dorm, so I'll have to post it later. After class we took a short tour of Olomouc and then went to lunch. The food here is TO DIE FOR!! We went in some place recommended by a person who went last year. We couldn't find it and were trying to ask people where to go. Some Czechs ignored us, but one guy walked a mile out of his way to show us!! More on that later. . anyway so the menu was in Czech and we just picked random numbers with a picture of a chicken. I ended up getting chicken fingers like the ones in the US. I didn't want them and a girl with us didn't like hers so we switched. We drank wine and beer with our meal and got very happy!! It was grand.
After we ate my roomate and I walked to Globus. This is a store similar to Sam's club, but they have everything!! You could buy a freaking toilet!! My roomate and I bought some candy and other essentials. I was able to get a pretty good hair dryer.
We had to run home after Globus because there was a big party for all the international students. The party sucked and all the Americans were stuck in a room away from everyone else. The bartender was a jerk, so we went to a nearby club. The club was swweeeet!!! They played lots of old american music. A ton of Michael Jackson, Grease, Rihanna, 50 Cent, and Collective Soul!?! haha. We danced so much and sang to all the songs. Everyone else was justing dancing, because they couldn't keep up with the words. Remember the guy earlier who walked a mile out of his way to show us to the restaraunt? He was at the club so we bought him some beer. His friends came over and we all talked for an hour or two. We were at the club until like 2am and had to be up for class at 7:30!! All the trams were done so we took a cab home.
I just had my first Czech lesson today and am at the student center waiting for friends to go out to lunch. I have 3 really good girlfriends whom I hang out with most of the time. My bed is still broken. My guy roomate saw the bed and tried to fix it. The one board is too warped but he put it back together. The service guy came to try and fix the bed today, but because it wasn't on the floor he thought it was fixed. Now I have to go to the front desk and try to explain!! I had my Czech teacher write me a note. . haha.
On the subject of my teeth, they are still way messed up. The gums under my front teeth were blood red and are now purple. It's disgusting!! Our US Guide is going to get me to a dentist sometime soon. We go to Prague this weekend so probably next week. I am able to eat, and it doesn't hurt but it's really swollen. I'm rockin a sweet double chin right about now.
I'll load pictures later, my roomate has a laptop but we can't get the internet working in our room.
That's all for now!!
