the first homework of the semester

study abroad classes in prague are sort of a joke. i've done hardly any work. i've learned things- from traveling, from zdenek, from readings- but i've not had any real assignments. i had to skip class this morning because i'm sick and i was feeling rotten. now i have three papers due in the next week. i'm being kicked out of the apartment on may 2, and will have to sleep on the floor in the dorms, which sounds fun (to be w the girls) but a little miserable because i'm allergic to dust, hate noise, and am extremely susceptible to germs, of which there are plenty at the dorms. i was gonna be able to sleep on a mattress, but it turns out that i'm not gonna be able to do that as i though that i was going to be able to do.

i'm not unhappy; i don't want to give you that impression. i'm just a little sick.

i'm getting really excited about post-prague travels, but i'm also really really really sad to leave. if i don't get the job in bama that i want for next year, i might come back here. there are worse places to be. and i like the people i've met here. i might also go to san fransisco to be with darling and chad, my cousins, and will are all also out there. or i may go to chicago to be with brother (who is my favorite person) and leema (who i really want to get to know better). or i could always go back to austin, but that would be moving backwards instead of forwards. or maybe i'll move to new zealand. who knows? hopefully i'll just get the job i want. i'd really like to teach.

anyways, i love school, but these classes are not very challenging (to say the least).


i'm procrastinating. this paper is stupid. i only have half a page left, and then i will only have three papers and a test left in undergraduate school ever.
