Freshness in March

So, it's been a bit since I got back from Spring break, and it seems like things have been picking up just as usual. THings at school are busy. Gave my students projects to do on Prague and most of them just copied and pasted from the Internet which sucks cuz it just does. But some of them have been interesting, just a lot to read and grade. The best was one that wasn't so much on the sites of Prague as it was the best pubs to frequent. I found it quite interesting and hope to maybe venture and see what all the fuss is about sometime. What else, let's see... so it's dance season again. We had our 2nd Prom last Friday and for our third class it is this Friday, so these are fun times to dress up, dance some and talk with people, students outside of the school atmosphere.

So, I have been branching out and meeting people here in Kralupy that aren't students and aren't associated with anything about school, even English that is. By some strange go of events, I seem to have met people all over the placewho want to learn English,. But the crazy thing is maybe they don't really know any English at all. So this could bring a hamper on our lesson practice. One of my most fun events happened the other night when I ran into one of the guys in the restaurant by my house. I was saying hello and goodbye to him but I ended of sitting down and for the next 3 hours me, him, and his friends proceeded to try and communicate the best we could, mainly in Czech, but they wanted to always know new words in English so i humored them a bit. I think I'm the one actually getting the most out of it, but it's fun anyways for them to think that I'm teaching them English.

It's funny cuz everywhere I seem to go, people are always so excited to see an english-speaking person and they always want to listen and try and speak English even if they don't speak any at all. It's life, and what a good life it is. it gives me practice with Czech and everything seems to flow fairly beautifullly at that. What else is new... hm... I think that's all I got right now. just enjoying the cold weather, or tryin at least and makin the most of my extended winter this year. So, you all take care now and don't be a stranger now, ya hear?
