Day 4

So I need to start off by saying that czechs love their swim shorts... their spandex/speedo swim shorts.... my host dad has a lovely pair (do speedos qualify as a "pair" like swim shorts do...please ponder this for a moment.. i know i have lately) of turquoise blue speedo's (see this is where its handy to know the qualifications of "pair".. do i or don't i plural that lovely little word... Speedo). I went swimming with some guys from class today.... again lovely speedos... and to mix things up just a tad.. though they really aren't much better... the spandex swim shorts.. nice short.. shorts.. Anyways .. i just thought you all should know! :) A couple other little things that i've noticed before i get to the days events... the toilet paper.. it's yellow.. not like a canary yellow more of a lemon chiffon.. .. . the toilets themselves.. don't have a visible water tank behind them like every other one I think I've ever seen... the toilet bowl just sticks out from the wall... then theres this big button that you push .. . .. Their pop bottles and most water bottles are 1,5 liters and almost every kid in school has one everyday.. (side note.. I'm listening to M.I.A. and am in a really good mood right now!!!)

So today.. school take 2!! Hahaha kinda wishing i had taken Biology... and Physics 12.. things would have made so much more sense today.. i took some notes here and there.. actually trying to be productive in class today.. and did homework when I got home. All my homework really was was to try and figure out the czech notes that i jotted down from the board... English class was as successful as ever :) we played some word games and things in class today.. in partners.. needless to say that my team had a bit of an unfair advantage .... it worked beautifully until the teacher clued in.. it took her a while... really not the brightest bulb in the bunch.. moving forwards... Mid czech class i made some plans to go swimming at the pool with some friends... We took the tram down to the pool.. it was closed .. :( So we walked back to my house. We have a pool so we went for a dip... it was hilarious.. they wanted to learn Butterfly... super funny.. but they were trying their darndest so i really tried not to laugh as they swam back and forth practically on top of each other hahaha... Swimming was tons of fun.. and i even got my host brother to come out and join in.. which is pretty big... I don't think he likes having to show around a foreigner... but it's been getting so much better and we were joking around tonight... I think that he's coming and waking me up tomorrow morning a 5... he was joking around and i kinda dared him to follow through.. so we'll see how that ends up..
Well.. I'll keep in touch.. I'm off to the pool again with Dusan (brother) ...

Love and laughter.. (lots of laughter!!!!)
