So i was living with Adams family, the Fialas, who are absolutely fantastic. I really had a great time living with them, they showed me a whole different way of Czech life, which was nice to see and experience. Despite my initial thoughts on going back to a family that i had already lived with, i actually was getting more and more excited as moving day approached. The thought of being somewhere that was familiar and knowing what to expect was a relief that i hadnt realised that i wanted. So being here, with the Richtars, for the past little while has been just swell.
My second night here, I was all hunkered down and getting ready for bed, my host dad, Dušan, comes rushing in the house yelling "Come get ready. Get your shoes on!". So not having a clue what on earth he was talkingbaout, I did. So we all hop in the car and drive downtown to the big Vitkovice Hockey rink. The boys and I run out of the car and I turn to see Svetlana dive away. Then I see the LORDI posters. Lordi is a Finnish Monster Metal group that won a sort of euro idol competition. Monster Metel. So breifly thinking about the wide variety of folk music i currently listen to, I jumped in line to get myself a wristband :) It was actually incredible!! I have yet to turn in to any sort of metal head, but it was tons of fun, and I met a few friends from my class who were there. Major plus!
Thát weekend, i forgot to mention that the concert was on a tuesday night... made for an interesting wednesday morning, Veronika had a gals night out. We were going to start it the healthy way and make an attempt ( she is actually super fit pro, I was going to attempt) at a spinning class, but tons of people dropped out last minute so the class got cancelled. Shucks. So we made our way to the movie theatre.. We picked out "Unborn" as the must see for the evening. HAhaha nothing like two gals heading out to a horror flick togther. We grabbed a coffe and had a good gal talk before it started, it was really nice to catch up.. then i seriously got freaked during the movie. I love a good horror, something that really screws with your mind, I think its healthy to have a good fright once in a while and to be honest it wasnt even that great of a show, but its been a while and i was freaked :) Money well spent. So as I was cowering, I look over and there is Verča, totally chill pointing out the films bad graphics.. priceless.
hmmm .. i remember that weekend being a busy one but i cant seem to put a fingure on what exactly went down. ...
... o well im sure i had a good time :)
A couple of gals got together and had a huge 18th bash a little later in the month wich was tons of fun :) and that pretty much summarizes the month.
i think the biggest change was the weather. The month started with a fresh foot of snow and ended with sunny days... shorts worthy days!!! the weather has had a huge impact on my attitude too. I was having a good time with friends and everything before but i was honestly done with the snow and the cold. The sun has done wonders! I have definitely discovered that im solar powered, i had no idea how much of an impact it really had until it returned.
YAY!!!
OH and i talked to my club and evverything is a go for moms visit at the end of next month!!
