by the way, they only have espresso here and call american "kava" the worst in the world!

Today at SIT I got a bouquet of flowers from my lovely boyfriend and a Valentines Day package from my lovely parents! What a wonderful day for mail!
Unfortunately, later in the day a "bankomat" ate my new atm card I JUST got in the mail. Ugh.

Then I went and shopped for art supplies....
....because on Thursday I leave for my regional homestay; I'm going to Ostrava [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrava] to live in a Roma [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_(Romani_subgroup)] community and teach art to kids at the community center! I'll be there from Thursday to Thursday with another girl from my program (she'll be teaching dance) and then we're meeting up with the whole group in Cesky Krumlov and will be back in Prague a week from Saturdayish. I think it'll be really cool and really scary at the same time, but I'm living with the director of an NGO there who is friends with my academic director.
But I probably won't have internet or my computer for that whole time.

In the meantime, here's how I celebrated Valentine's Day: lots of desserts and red lipstick and "cervene vino"!
Now I have to write an essay and study for my Czech test tomorrow!

  1. I hope you're having a good time!

    And the coffee situation is the same here too! The other day I said no to milk in my caffé, and the barista was proud of me...probably because I wasn't being American!

    good luck with the atm card :/
