My head aches. Trying to pull my life down into a few pages, a "personal essay" for a scholarship. I don't even know how much this is for. It's a complicated essay, wanting a dozen bullet pointed bits of information about my academic career, work outside of school, etc. Haven't had to write anything like this in ages it seems like. Maybe I have forgotten my double-speak. Hmm.

Reading Murakami's Hard Boiled Wonderland & The End Of The World again. My friend Mike was reading it not too long ago, and wants to write an article on American and Czech hard-boiled fiction. He's going to spend part of his time in Prague researching that I believe.

A package came from Canada today, bearing an Aero bar, a pen, a notebook, and a postcard of a timber wolf. Absolutely lovely. This package gang is quite fun. It reminds me that i need to make a list of addresses to take with me next week. God, I can't believe I'm leaving next weekend. Eek. The nervous anticipation will drive me insane. Time to start reviewing my case endings.

thanks for the encouragement :)

One of the things I loved about Paris when I visited was the actual buildings. Everything beautiful and older than my country for the most part. You have no idea how excited I am to go to Mass in a real cathedral or two.

I do hope that immersion works its wonders, and that my Czech will improve. My speech is somewhat shy at the moment. I want to learn so much. I need to figure out the vocabulary for getting my haircut especially. :)

Thank you, it was good to see your message this morning. I need to drive my roommate to the airport now. (She's going to France for the summer) I don't know how I'm going to wait another week!!
