I am so happy with life today! I went to sleep early last night (cerca 11), and woke up at 8:30 to find a text from my friend Matěj offering his TV to watch the Rugby World Cup at 10! I cleaned up a bit around the house before he picked me up, and was very happy to see New Zealand win! I stayed for lunch with his family before playing some ping pong and walking back to my house through fields and forest in the beautiful autumn countryside. I have since talked to my family and some friends on skype and am currently sipping mulled wine and eating too many cookies with my roommates. In an hour or so, I will head out to go rock climbing with Dustin, probably Ines (German teacher from Husova), and who knows if or who else. Last week, I joined a band. I went to my first practice on Thursday night and it went very well...I really like the guys and they are very good musicians. The only drawbacks are that they want me to sing AC/DC and such and prefer I sing in Czech, but I think I can rock it and it will help me learn quickly. We went out for beers after and then half of the band invited me to go to another bar to celebrate my new position as singer. It was extremely fun and I won every game of foosball I played =). I walked home to check my phone and found out that I had stayed out until 4:30am, which was a bit unfortunate since I wake up between 6:15 and 6:30 during the week and had to teach a math and science class to the Czech third graders in English by myself for two hours, since the professor I usually cooperate with had a funeral to attend, but I woke up fairly easily and had a great day of classes. I took a nap afterwards and went to dinner at Matěj's. His mom made beef tar tar and it was delicious! Then, we went to the soccer game and Liberec won which was fantastic. After the game, we met up with 8 or 9 of Matěj's friends from track and field and celebrated one of their birthday's. I knew three of his friends and was pleased to meet some of the others. Overall, it was a fun night. For those who are wondering, Matěj has a girlfriend and we are just friends =). I have met his girlfriend and hung out with her on two or three occasions.
Yesterday, I got some things for the kittens at the store between spending the afternoon and evening with Katrina and two of our co-workers through Wattsenglish, Lisa and Suzanne. We bought mulled wine and ingredients to make pizza, and enjoyed some cheese and crackers while we waited for the pizza to cook and the wine to warm. I was very happy to go to bed and do some reading at 10:30 =). Tomorrow night, I will spend some time with my Dr. friends at the pub who I haven't seen in a while and am looking forward to it a lot. It should be a great week filled with two days of teaching, training at Kutna Hora or so I think it's spelled....details to follow.
