just some updates

so we still don't technically have an apartment, which is still a source of stress for me. (rhys, are you stressed out too?) we're waiting to hear back from the realtors. we'll be getting something that is probably very well-located, adequately sized and furnished, and way over-priced. i think that this is probably our best case scenario. it's been so tedious trying to find a place to live though that i just want to go ahead and put our deposit down for someplace. our top choice right now is three blocks away from my cousin. that would be very very nice to live next to my cousin. she's just a year older than me. i don't know her very well, but all impressions have been overwhelminghly positive.

yuval's gonna come visit right when get there. he knows some czech and has been to prague a few times, so he's going to be very helpful. it will also be really cool to see him. i've always liked him. i'm also gonna get to go hang out with russ in london on our three day stopover and he said that he'd take me to john milton's house. i would very much enjoy that, i think... if i'm not too jet-lagged, that is. oh, and this isn't totally related, but bob's gonna be in b'ham tomorrow, so i'll get to see him too! yay bob!

i finished rhys's scarf, but it's better than mine and not as matchy as i'd hoped, so i'm going to make myself one that is exactly the same as his except pink (his is blue). then i will require him to wear it everywhere. sometimes maybe we can switch scarves and people will get us confused. and they might also be confused if i'm wearing the blue scarf and rhys is wearing the pink one because, traditionally, pink is for girls and blue is for boys. silly americans.


[edit: i should add that i'm leaving the 18th and still haven't received my tickets. rhys, do you have your passport yet?]
