charles bridge and the castle

charles bridge

it has been snowing pretty much nonstop for a while. the 10 day forecast has snow displayed every single day. i feel like i am supposed to go snowboarding every time i get on a bus... why isn't it dropping me off at the ski lift? oh well. maybe one day i'll move to colorado.

my shoes are really not great for this sludge i walk through to get to work. i go to prague 1- prague 5- prague 10- prague 3- prague 2 depending on the day... i think you get my point. these aren't complaints, i just need better boots so i don't get home and take off socks that are wet near the toes that have also seeped through to my leggings.

today i have the lovely gift of sleeping in (although it's 9:45 am and i woke up an hour ago...) because my 11:30 am lesson canceled due to the ill babysitter. i have a 4pm lesson and until then i am going to enjoy lying in bed looking at the snow falling outside our windows. maybe.

countdown has begun. i can't wait for our 12 days off. brussels in 15 days! italy in 22 days! i think we may all just spend all of our money willingly knowing that our jobs pay us shit and we'd rather go back to america saying... "hey, atleast we traveled." if i had to spend my money on one thing... traveling is that one thing. yes.

i REALLY want to stick it out until our lease is up mid-june. there is talk of possibly heading back before then if our funds run out and the sound of that saddens me. i really like our apartment, especially our bedroom. i love our views and making dinners with good friends and if i'm feeling up for a walk in cold weather to go see a fairytale castle- i can! i can call prague home... for now. i just don't think 6 months will be enough here. i'm content teaching because it is so far beyond what i ever imagined for myself and i don't know if i'll ever come back to doing it if i leave sooner than later. i don't know how i feel about flying back to florida and sleeping... well, i have no idea where. also, my mom has plans to come visit in may and i really want to show her prague!

we still don't have our long-term visas and we still haven't paid our lawyers hundreds of dollars(which we don't have to until we receive the visa) and i can't fathom paying all this money just to go back....

nothing is set in stone. living is expensive and traveling is worth it while here. so that's my plan. trying to live it up the evecheese way and head back to a m e r i c a when necessary.

i miss kisa. i hope she remembers me and doesn't hiss and claw when i see her!
