Continuing on...

They sent my visa application back! There were just a couple little problems, and thankfully my parents fixed them and send the application back (because my parents are awesome). Hopefully it sticks this time.

Other Prague preparations are going well. I am still having a hard time finding Czech music, but I like listening to the song "Ani k stáru" which I heard in the Czech movie "Empties" during the Portland International Film Festival. You can hear the song and see a clip from the movie at YouTube: (link)


That's all for now, but here's an interesting little gadget:

Using a cool website, I created this "word cloud":

which shows how often I use words in this blog by making them bigger in the picture. Cool, huh?

Pre-Prague Adventures, Volume II

This weekend I moved in to my new house, which I share with 5 other Lewis & Clark students. We're calling it "the improv house", since most of us are on the improv team. The house is great, my room is nice and big, and it's all wonderful!

Today Aubrey is mailing my visa packet for me. I got so stressed out about getting my czech visa... which made it take so much longer to finish my application. But it's done now and-hopefully-it's done right and they'll send me my visa in plenty of time.

Now that I'm moved in and settled down, I have a few goals for the summer.

1. Learn some Czech, or, at least try.
2. Read some more classic Czech works & histories of Prague.
3. Practice guitar, make a band with my sister, and perform in Portland.
4. Get better at cooking!

Aubrey is mailing my visa packet for me, because I am at work! Today is my first day of my summer job, which is working for IT/Computing Services at my college. I think it's going to be fantastic! My bosses are super nice and enthusiastic, and the environment is great. Plus-it's just a 15-minute walk from my house!
