Week Thirteen of School


Monday morning I woke up at my usual later time for Monday morning. Ruda, Robert and I all left a little extra late that morning. Robert had to go somewhere else to go, so he dropped Ruda and I off at a tram stop that was on his way. We took the tram the rest of the way into the city and parted ways when I got to my stop for my Czech lesson.

In my Czech lesson I started to learn past tense, and it was actually so much easier than I had been expecting. After a good lesson, I made my way to school. After school I had to go buy some more pantyhose. Then I made my way to Zora’s office to get ready for dance. I told Zora how I hoped that we wouldn’t be dancing tango since that one seems to give me a lot of trouble. When I showed up to class, of course we spent more than half of the class on tango. There were way to many girls as usual so I ended up dancing with an assistant again. He if course is quite good at dancing and he is one of few people in the class who is taller than me. I quickly realized how easy it actually was to dance tango if you have a good partner.

After dance class we made our way home for dinner. On our way home my mom told me that she had gotten some more strawberry jam that her dad made. It’s my absolute favorite and we didn’t have anymore at the house. Zora and my dancing partner were surprised that I understood everything about the jam since it was in Czech.

In the afternoon Gigi had asked me to go to a concert with her in a few days and of course I said yes. So without even getting help from my friends at school or using google translate, I struggled my way through asking to go to the concert in Czech. I was really proud of my self and even happier when they said I could go! I went and bought the tickets before heading to bed.

Tuesday, I went to school like usual. I had done some of the math homework from the week before and my teacher asked either Shri or I to present our answer to the class, so I presented our answer for us. Our last class was canceled, so I was done with school by 12:40. I took an early bus home and took some time to hang out.

I watched Netflix for a little bit and then I talked on the phone with Madelyn who I hadn’t talked to for ages. I also worked on buying train tickets for everyone in Brno for our trip to Prague. When my parents got home we had dinner and then they asked me if I wanted to go to the club. For once I said no because I was tired and I knew I would have many opportunities to go in the future. Despite being completely exhausted, I stayed up until 12 talking on the phone with Addison.

Wednesday, was another early start day so I got up at 5:30. We were slow getting ready as usual, so I was a little late to school. I was done with school by 1:40, so I took an early bus home and stopped at the store on my way. I was planning on cooking again over the weekend, but I needed to make sure I could get everything that I needed.

When I finally got home I worked on finishing up a blog post and I FaceTimed Elsa. I had some dinner with my family, and then we made our way to the club. At the club they were watching some tv so I stayed and watched for a little bit, but went home early. When I got home I did my nails and watched a little bit of Netflix before going to bed.

Thursday was day 100!! I got to start school late, so I went to the city with Robert and had breakfast with him at his work. I also had another Rotary club meeting since Shri had arrived. Halfway to the city I realized I had forgotten everything for Rotary. I had also forgotten my gym shoes, but we were already far from home so we couldn’t go back.

Once I was at school I continued through my schedule until I got to PE. Since I didn’t have my shoes, the teacher dismissed me early. I realized that I had just enough time to make it home and back to the city before the meeting. So I made my way to the bus stop. I had a little bit of time until the next bus so I went the long way. I went up to the castle and took some pictures before walking down the other side of the hill to the bus stop.

I made the journey home and got changed while I had a snack. I had to wait half an hour for the next bus, so I hung out for a bit. Then I got back on the bus to the city. When I got back, I got off the bus and walked to the hotel for the meeting. My parents had to work, so I was on my own for the evening. I ended up being early for the meeting, but it was cold so I hung out in the hotel lobby for awhile.

At the meeting Shri did her presentation about India for the club. I finally got to exchange banners with the club, so I have a Brno club banner to bring home. After the meeting I had 90 minutes until the next bus home. So I spent my time in the warm hotel lobby on the phone with a couple of friends. Then I made my way to the bus stop to take the bus for the third time that day. Once I got home I went to bed pretty quickly since I got home at 10 and it had been a long day. I spent a total of almost 4 hours on the bus that day.

Friday, I went to my Czech lesson before going to school. After school I began my weekend with Gigi. We started by going to the Christmas markets, and then we went to the store to buy our secret Santa presents for the Christmas meeting. After we were done shopping we made our way to her house to get ready for the concert.
