Refreshing Freshness
Things haven't seemed to slow down for me since coming here a week ago, I've been keeping myself busy with visiting with an innumerable amount of people in such settings as houses, flats, over tea, over beer, festivals, and various places in the school mostly being the classroom with my old classes.
But it's been really good. I've felt a lot of good feelings since being back, and the one that I'm glad that I haven't experienced yet is boredom. I'm sure in the next several months of my time of not having a job or really having anything set to do that I will, in time, become bored sometime, but going on a week plus strong and I'm still not bored. It probably has a bit to do with the fact that in my free time when I'm not with people, I've got other preparations to do for some trip or I've been watching some TV shows that my old roommate Joseph and his roommate Aaron have.
Interesting notes thus far:
- I visited the Kralupy Music Festival, called Lednovy Underground, last weekend and saw lots of people of whom I was very excited to see and meet up with. I was able to hear lots of good music also and feel like everything was back to normal again. I've accomplished a lot more normalcy in the last week than I have felt in the last few months, so that has been a good feeling for me.
- It was really fun for me to meet this strange guy the other night in a local pub who remembered me and came over really wanting to have me teach him English because he doesn't know anything for going on holiday to Egypt or anything. He doesn't know any languages and really wanted me to teach him some travel English. I said no problem, knowing that he wouldn't want to the next day (they never want to). And if he did, that'd be great, cuz then I'd be making a bit of money which would be helpful. So he wanted help for his holiday travelling, but then he said that he isn't planning a holiday for a long time and actually he doesn't have a job right now, so it was a bit confusing, but that's life. Oh, and he wasn't able to meet the next day.
- Another night I was with some friends and we went to a nonstop bar and met one of my old friends and his wife. Well, they weren't really old friends, but just someone I knew from a bar I used to visit near my place. He's actually the first person who asked me for English lessons but never followed through with it. They made me and my friends come over and we came and they wanted us to drink champagne, so although we didn't want to, they bought a bottle and made us drink it. It was strange a bit, and then the wife wanted to kiss everyone many times. Really strange.
- Last, on a sad note, my old neighbor is really really sick. Keep him and his family in your thoughts. That's all I can say now.
I'll try and get some pictures up later but for now, this is gonna have to do. :) Hope all is well with everyone and I'll be talking to you all again really soon I"m sure.
