Apartment Mates

Well hello there!
Today was a whirlwind. I got a wake up "It is 7 am" by a really nice Hostel employee (per my request) - at 7am, and then by 7:45 I was out of the hostel and on my way to the tram, with half of my luggage.
And NOW... I'm here! The apartment is really nice. There are 6 girls living here in three bedrooms. Myself and my roommate Breanne, Kelly and Ali, and Kiernan and Ellie. We have a nice big living/dining/kitchen area, a tub/shower thing, and a big foyer. Apparently this area was once a doctor's office, so it's a bit weird shaped and there are a lot of mysterious locked doors.
Our entire apartment is furnished by ikea, very cheaply I might add. But Kiernan brought a big Buddha tapestry which is very nicely adorning our wall.We have enjoyed setting up the apartment a bit. We all took a trip to TESCO, a big supermarket/everything store. It is very, very confusing, since it's all in czech... The floor you walk in on is a big room, selling toiletries and wine. We knew it was a grocery store (there was one of those coupon packets at the entrance, with pictures of food!) but couldn't find food anywhere... it took a lot of walking in and out until we found a sign that said "Food" with an arrow to a sort of secluded staircase... but there we found a bustling grocery store (still in Czech, though...) I bought: pasta, cereal, yoghurt (I think), pineapple juice, and a single-serve rice pudding thing. I'll go back tomorrow with a list and a Czech dictionary. How overwhelming, this language barrier!
After TESCO my roommates and I went out to dinner at a Chinese place (I know, but we will have plenty of time to get Czech food). It was pretty... quiet. Everyone is tired and jet lagged, it is just weird to be here. But it went well. I like these girls. They're all from the US, and some of them have been here before, and some of them have never left the hemisphere.
After dinner, there was a big unofficial meeting of kids from our program (CEA) under the astronomical clock in old town square. There are a lot of people in our group. And a lot of them are really tall! I was also struck by something: at Lewis & Clark, there are ALWAYS more girls than guys. This group was about 70% male... and it was so odd, especially odd that it struck me as odd.
After a bit, the group went off to go bar hopping. Ali & I decided to head back to the apartment, but I, in a stroke of bad judgment, gave away my map to a lost fellow CEA student, and we had quite a time trying to get back here. Ali is really nice - she has a Minnesotan accent, being from Minnesota, and we chatted a bit while I tried to make up for getting us lost. We made it, though!
Prague at night is beautiful. The buildings, the light, it is all very nice. I was not so fond of the throngs of tourists and clubbers all over (although we did walk through pretty much every tourist hot spot, so we got just the worst of it). I may find myself staying in more in the evenings, I think. I don't know how to feel about this: I don't know if I'm just silly and anti-social, or boring, or immature, or somehow just... I don't know. But not drinking and clubbing will save me money :)
Sorry for the length and rambliness.... and Na Shledanou! (means see ya later.. in Czech!)
