This is one of the best rainy days I've had in a long time! I met my roommates in the past few days and we moved into our adorable and spacious apartment. There is so much character and we get along so well that it already feels like home. We went grocery shopping and are slowly getting unpacked amidst some great food, wine, and conversations. I really couldn't be happier about this place, and will be sure to put pictures up as soon as I can. This past week, I started worked at an English golf camp with kids ages 3-10. It was a really good way to get some more experience teaching. On Wednesday, one of the five year-olds got hit in the head with a golf ball while another little one was trying to chip a ball out of the sand. He had to be taken to the hospital by the Czech teacher I was working with, so I had to watch the rest of the kids by myself for a few hours, organizing activities and getting them packed up and on a bus when I could barely break through the language barrier, but it wasn't so bad. It's been really hot here, and I have been so sweaty and gross after every work day. Last week, I went out to lunch with one of my new co-workers Dustin and his girlfriend and went rock climbing with him after, and tomorrow I'm going to Cesky Raj or "Czech Paradise"to go hiking with a guy who wants to practice his English with me. I've stayed in contact with my first Couch Surfing host here in Liberec and went to a pub with my roommate and a bunch of his friends that I met before and we planned to have a jam session night and go to a ballet next week. I feel like I am not going to be bored here and I'll be able to find things to do. I have been looking for a place to volunteer some of my time, and my roommate Katrina told my other roommate Laura and I about an orphanage close by, so I'm going to see if I can help out there at some point....This is going to be a great year.
