So, I hear y'all got some snow in North Texas. Funny, the snow's all gone here! It started snowing yesterday and it snowed most of this morning but it's not sticking. It's supposed to be in the mid 40's this weekend anyway. I think the snow is pretty much gone except a few flurries here and there. Fine by me!

March is almost here and with it comes SPRING BREAK!!!! I am so excited! Ducki is coming to visit and I am really looking forward to showing her around and impressing her with the little Czech I know. I am learning a little Czech. I know some of the nasty words so I can bust my students when they say them. You should see the look on their faces when I give them extra homework for saying sprosti (vulgar) words in Czech. They can't believe I know them!

I saw The Return of the King last week. Good movie! The movie theater here is nice (hesky)! It doesn't have regular seats. It has big, overstuffed couches and waiters! You can have a beer and pizza or a cappicino. Lovely. I am going to Prague for an ESI retreat this weekend. I hope y'all have a good one!

Sorry I haven't written in a while. It has been kinda the same ole, same ole. Cold, lots of snow...you get the picture. Last we we had a bit of a warm snap. It was in the 40's and 50's. The Czechs kept telling me it was like Spring. I told them it was like Winter in Texas. They thought that was crazy. This past weekend I went to a ples in Sokolov. It's kind of like prom and graduation together, but not anything like them either. It was a unique experience. My school's ples is at the end of March. I'll take plenty of pictures so you can see. It was a lot of fun. Gotta run and teach a class. Jessica
