I feel like this weekend highly deserves a post. It was ridiculous. For starters I've done some pretty dumb things while I have been drunk that a really regret so I made a deal with Jacob to stop drinking. This was a sober weekend for me.

Let's see...on friday night Cici, a tolerable girl, came to stay in Trebic with me. We met up with Trev and Lauren, who is LBAG which stands for (lauren blew a guy) at Zlaty Lev where everybody started drinking and I had a presu. A couple of guys walk in and we think we hear them speaking english, and Cici gets the courage to go up and talk to them. TURNS OUT there is a fleet of British Air Force guys in Trebic. They come over and in a British accent say...

" Elo, what the el are you doin in this shit ole?" "We've got a couple a blokes over at the Titanic club, why dont you join us?"

So we go on over, and their buying everybody drinks non stop. Then the strippers and table dancers come out, and trev sure does have a good time (he got a lap dance). Apparently they are leaving at 6 in the am, and it is currently 4 am, so I pull Cici out and we go home. I tell Lauren and Trev to be sure and get home. BUT>>>>

We called Lauren bright and early the next morning, and guess where she is?? A hotel room where she slept with a 30 yr old British Air Force guy AND took the money for the maid in the morn.

CLASSIC!

The next day Aussie Lauren comes into to Trebic to hang out with us kids. We go out to a birthday where she party fouls and spills a beer, so we ditch that joint and head on down to Gollum. She precedes to excessivly drink and start to hook up with Trev. Trev takes her to the bathroom, and mid hook up she vomits everywhere. Cici cleans her up because I can't deal with that stuff, and we let the two Laurens go home together to bond in their own special way.

I also got to go to a zoo where bats and sloths rome free.

I'm glad to be smart.

I'm moving today to my very last host family  and I will be with them for 3 months, and then I am heading home. The host sister is creepy, and we call he smile girl cuss she smiles all the time. No one has something to always be smiling about all the time. Maybe I'm just bitter.

I think it's 78 days till I come home.....realization.....come and home are spelt the same way. If I didn't speak  English I would try to pronounce them the same.

I'm going to Venice at the very end of this month.

Much more important.....I'm going to Houston at the end of these 3 months. Oh yeah.


Real coffee here I come...and pizza!

I'm jealous of the millions upon millions of people who get to spend this day with who they love. I do not love you Czech Republic, and I do not want to be with you on this day.


I also do not want to be with karkulik on this day.

I WANT TO BE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was a peice of foil in the keyboard between the m and , key. 


I got it out.

In reality I have been lieing to myself abou thow much fun im having. Sure Im having a good time, but all I really want is to be with the one I love. Im so ready to come home. I never thought I could want to take care of someone so badly. When there is someone who knows whats wrong before you can even say it, and who can fix before you even know you were hurt: that is perfect.

Im trying so hard to not be depressed here. It would make it all pointless, but when I am alone i cant feel anything else.

47 days and i can be truly happy.

4 months and I can be back to what I know...even though this is what I know now. Two years of my life are going to be spent in foriegn places.


I want kisses
I want hugs
I want Iced white mochas
I want mexican vanilla icecream

We just recently found out that one of Trevors good friends back home has a brain tumor. he fell of a balcony due to his nervous system shutting down. He broke the bones in his face, and ruptured his spleen. They are unable to operate or run tests because the injuries to his face are so severe. We are waiting to find out if the tumor is cancerous.
Please keep him in your prayers.
His name is Tyler Marsh, and he is only 18 years old.

Well, my life now is full of comedy. Karkulik is the funniest man I have ever met.  He took me upstairs to show me how to jump on a trampoline. Showed all of his report cards from school. Has told me about five times that i have two beds in my room and i can choose which one to sleep in. His hobby is making home movies. He works at a nuclear power plant. He rides bikes. He was the lead scout.  He wears cargo pants and button up shirts. He absoluely loves fairytails and LOST. He tapes and we watched it together., afterwards he put his hand over his heart, and said so intense...i love this guy.

So today was Johns last day. Rotary wouldnt let Lauren and Trev go to Prague. SO it was just me. They werent lying when they said this would be your best and worst year.  Watching John leave pretty much broke my heart. He loves this place, and seeing a boy cry ALWAYS gets me. I know at the beginning I thought I would hate it, and that time would drag on, but its moving in double speed and I only have five months left , and I love this place now too. Too many goodbyes...
Goodbye to home, and mom, and dad, and jenna, and jacob, and friends
Goodbye to John
Goodbye to Yalosh
Goodbye to Lauren and Trev
Goodbye to Trebic
Goodbye to Czech Rep

I didnt think it would be this hard.

Howdy do!
Im pretty much hating this month, but there are some things that made it and are making it good.

1.) Its December, and I never thought I would make it to this month.

2.) I've been to one ball already, and I still have two more to go to.

3.) My host mom is taking me to Brno to get mah hurr did.

4.) I got my birthday box in the mail from my mom, and it had so many nice things in it.

5.) Im cooking for my host family and Luaren and Trevor.

6.) Tuesday is my birthday, and they are taking me to a restaurant where they made reservations.

7.) It's christmas time bitches!!!! 

6 months and one week to go...if im still leaving the first week of June. If not, more like 6 months and three weeks. I found out thar my family can come in March, and that is such a relief. I want to take them to all the cool places I have been, and show off my czech. Its getting easier because im taking a class, and studying in school more. I HAVE to go to every class of everyday. 

My biggest fear was that I wasnt going to make any friends, but I have made a number of them. The kids from my class are nerds, and dont go out often, but they are sweet. The people ate Laurens school are way cooler, and go to discos and such.

I spent the weekend in Prague with all my buddies from language camp. I love seeing them, we pulled two all nighters and i drank like 100 cups of instant esspreso. Its good because we can be close and there is nothing sexual about it, except for some, but that is because they are couples.

HARRY GOT DRY HUMPPED!!! by a not so attractive girl. rofl.

This month will go by so fast. Next week is Laurens birthday. Friday is my hair appointment in Brno and the graduation ball. CiCi and Carly are comming on saturday for our birthday celebration. The next week is my birthday. The next is Christmas. OH LOOK! ITS JANUARY!!!

I wish I had more money to spend. I would like to buy everyone presents but I just dont have the money. Im sorry.

Rotary speech tonight. BLAH!

Me and tevor are thinking of ways we could get back home. The only one that doesnt bring shame to our families is John throwing us infront of a bus. Rotary are being dicks. I bought a pass to the gym. Ive lost maybe 5 kilos so far. I really want to be different when i come home. Also im too depressed to eat at every meal. I found someone to give me czech lessons and in turn i will give english lessons. They say we have to speak by christmas or we are going home. They are seriously being jerks. I want a jedi boyfriend who will feed me apples with his mind tricks.

 I dont understand why guys say rude ass shit and not expect you to take it to heart. I know im a baby, and I take things way too seriously, but when you say something I think you mean it. Especially when it pertains to my appearance. I.E. " Kristen, you have stupid hair." "You were really fat when you first got here." "Kristen, can you fuck off? I cant pick up chicks when you walk next to me."

ANYWAYS

The concert was good, and there was plenty of alcohol. I actually like beer now and this is weird. 

I got super shmammered the other night off slyvovitse and Im pretty sure i told a super deep dark secret and now im catching hell for it.

I went to the nuclear powerplant and it was AWESOME. i will post picks soon.

Hockey game tonight.

 It sucks not having a job and having to rely on my mom and rotary for money, but the truth is that im not spending that much money at all i just feel guilty that i have to get it from other people like im in jr.high again. Everything here is so cheap and it is funny how we bicker over 50 crowns which is like 2.00. Normally we would be like oh dont worry about it, but here we are like "Where are my 50 cowns bitch!". Seriously you can get a whole pizza for 50 crowns and a coke for 18. I love it here. Cigs are only 70 crowns....and most food is under 50.  


Im starting to understand more, but im still lost. Numbers are hard. 


I love czech food, and i know im going to miss it. Goulash and struedle and dumplings and soup and kofola even though its not that good and hrnolky. My host mom is off the food network i swear.


Greese was playing at the disco the other night...rofl at czech people making up words to a famous american musical.


Spent the weekend in the town hostel was filmed in.

 Okay, so, this weekend we are going to cesky krumolv for a costume party with all the other czech kids. Im phsyched because tomorrow night we are going out and then 7 in the morning we are catching a bus . This weekend is going to be phenominal. We are going to be the ninja turtles, and i am going to be raphael. i have no idea how i am going to find my weapons but whatever. I think november and december are going to go by fast because i have a lot of things to look forward to. That is how i make the time go by. I keep giving myself things to look forward to so that the time in between doesnt drag on. i took pumpkins to my class and showed the kids how to carve them. This is such a bitter sweet time of my life. I miss home so much, but this place is so great. Im in love with the czech republic and wish i could bring my friends and family here.

 Fucking czech republic. Can i just come home already?

So exboyfriend from like three years ago finds me on facebook. He is a fireman and works for a railroad company.

Children, because i got jipped into babysitting my host brother yesterday.

1. He is a spoiled bastard

2. He speaks czech, and i dont

3. We went to see room 1408 and he cried

4. I bought the coke, and he drank it ALL

5. He ate a large popcorn all by himself

Everybody knows i  dont get along with kids anyways, and to tell me we are going shopping in Brno, and really make me babysit is utterly unaccaptable!

It was F U N!!!
Melissa spent the night, and then we woke and watched CRY BABY! Then we went outside and soaked up a little sun, but man was it H O T! Then I made an almost gourmet lunch which consisted of chicken strips, chicken flavored noodles (which is best cooked with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" butter), and left over toasted bread from Zios.
Then Justin and Brandon took us to get snow cones.
Then we watched "Shall We Dance", and it was good.
And to end the day we went to the rec center and choreographed a dance to Micheal Jackson.
Did I say it was fun or what???

The only reason I am here is to eat and bitch.

Tomorrow is South of the Border Day at the Zucha residence.

Blah.
