Update

Unfortunately, I have been extremely busy teaching Czechs how to read, write, listen to, and speak English. I also am lacking a constant source of internet. So for the next 3 weeks or so, don't be surprised to see shitty blogs like this one. I will just bullet point random things I have been up to.

• I finished week 1 of the course and was monitored on my 45 minute elementary lesson I gave to Czech students. The lesson was on irregular verbs spoken in the past tense. Fun stuff! I actually did pretty well according to my teacher and passed the lesson easily. Which is no small feat.
  
• I was given a private student whom I have yet to contact. Although I know she is an upper-intermediate student named Lucie. So in addition to teaching twice a week and lesson planning for those lessons, I must teach my private student over the next 2 weeks as well. At the end of teaching my private student, I must write a 10 page paper. So much for just coming out here and speaking English to Czech people.
  
• It is likely that we will be looking at our new flat on tuesday. It's a 3 bedroom near old town. Which is where you want to be. So that should be sweet.
• My roommates are fucking nuts. But fucking nuts in a good way. We've been getting along great, having meals together, creating rules for "the dojo" (our flat), and just taking Prague by the balls.
  
• I met up with two Czech girls who my Uncle Rudy set me up with all the way from San Francisco. And we ended up drinking about 10-12 pints a piece. Shenanigans and hilarity ensued.

Also, I went to London, partied with a 49er, and damn near died in Paris from some Parisian Bird Flu. Class is starting, and I must learn more about the 'Perfect Present Tense.'

Until next time....

Super Weekend For A Super Bowl

As I'm heading to London tomorrow, this past weekend was going to be one of my last in Prague minus priorities and responsibility. I know what you're thinking, "Hey Michael, you don't prioritize. And you're not the least bit responsible!" Quiet you. That being said I wanted to go out and enjoy the nightlife Prague has to offer. Finding a few spots for my fellow teachers that are on their way out here would be a plus also.

So Friday night, I stayed home and passed out. Rats! Saturday night it is! I hit up Andrew and we settled on starting things off with a British Pub. (Geoff was nowhere to be found because he is a showoff and likes hitting ice rinks with his face.) So we hit up the pub, where beers were appropriately priced at 26 krowns. That's basically 1usd. Liking the pub so far. It was open mic night, and when they say anybody can get up there and play, they mean ANYBODY can get up there and play. I don't usually mock amateurs, but if you're willing to get up there and force me to listen to your shitty singing and the 3 chords you know on the guitar, then you can expect a lashing here at The PragueNosis. So after the pub, Andrew and I took a tip from Mason and Geoff and hit up a club named Techle Mechle. Apparently Techle Mechle is Czech for "only hot blondes with big titties may enter." The music left a bit to be desired, there's only so much C&C Music Factory I can take. Overall, a good recommendation though. Too many hot girls to complain about the music. So after Andrew and I got our swerve on, we decided to just head out into the snow and find a new spot. A few moments in however, our mission was interrupted by a lost crying girl. For her protection, I won't use her real name. Let's call her Madeline G., no no, that's too obvious. Ummmm, how about M Gibson. Well M. Gibson was lost because her boyfriend had went to pee in a bush and apparently got sucked in or something. Because that's the only way I can understand losing your girlfriend when you go piss in a bush. Luckily for Madeline G., Andrew and I took her under our wing. We took her with us to club Chateau and forced her to have a great time. Rumor has it she fell a few times on our way to the tram stop after Chateau. But I can neither confirm nor deny those rumors. A little advice for all you ladies out there: Ballet flats + snow = OW!

Super Sunday lived up to it's name this year round. Geoff and I got the party started early at our favorite little friendly casino where we each came out ahead. On top of the free money, we got ourselves 4 free beers and a free dinner. I have a feeling I may one day end up owning that place. That or they'll own me, whoever comes out ahead after a few more rounds of roulette. After heading to Star Bar for the game, Geoff and I organized a super bowl pool with a 2000 krown pot. Not too shabby. Much like the Arizona Cardinals running game, I was never really in it. Sometimes that's ok with me. Organizing gambling amongst 40 people or so, that was my victory. As you all know, great game (the Cardinals are who we thought they were), tons of beer, good fans, the Boss out there throwing his crotch around. It all added up to a pretty damn good Super Sunday.

Now I just hope I can find a Techle Mechle in London...
