It finally decided to warm up at bit. It's now about 70 but cloudy and rainy. I was tired of the cold. All the radiators have been shut off so I was freezing! I've started packing. I'll be home next week. Can't believe year number two is almost over! I'm having to pack twice because someone will be living in my flat this summer and won't move out until three weeks after I arrive back inCZ. So I have to take a few things over to Tammy and Marianne's place, where I'll be staying the first few weeks in the fall.

Visa....it's every where you want to be!
I'm still in nerve-wracked mode about my visa because the application hasn't been turned in yet! I stood in line for over 3 hours yesterday to get my visa renewed. I finally got to the front of the line (there was only one person in front of me) at about 4:30. At 5:00 a man came out and told us they were closed; come back Wednesday. They are only opened Mondays and Wednesdays. And Wed is the absolute last day I can apply for my visa. So pray that I get in. The man in front of me waited for 7 hours and didn't get in. I will be there bright and early tomorrow morning before they open. My principal will call them at 8:00 am when they open and tell them they need to see me ASAP. She can be very persuasive. Let's hope it works because tomorrow is the very last day I can legally apply for a renewal.

Nudity, revisited
I was watching Conan O'Brien this weekend and Queen Latifah was one of his guests. If you didn't know, she has been filming in the Czech Republic this year (Prague and Karlovy Vary,) and they were talking about her time here. She said she got a few massages while she was here and commented on how they were different from ones in the good ol' US of A. When asked how they were different, she responded that in the states you are usually covered with a sheet or a towel but in CZ they leave you, "buck-ass naked!" Needless to say, I was rolling on the floor when she said this, cause it's TRUE!!! She also said they left the door open while she was being massaged and that people would walk by and she would smile and say, "dobry den." She also mentioned the brisk rubbing and the shaking they did. I felt like maybe she had Mr. Slash as her massage therapist too.

That's all for now. Will get to the maturita stories, I promise!
