Spring TIME!

It has offically been 6 months that I've been here! And it's been really crazy!

So... many things have happened to me and some that were not intended but I am thankful for those experiences even if I do have to cry over them. They are teaching me life's lessons and I am able to share it with other exchangers so it has it's positive outlooks. Everything is going by really fast and with spring in the air everything is amazingly fast. Soon I will be switching families again... And going to an equally nice one that goes over to my first host family alot! I am looking forward to everything about that!
My Aunt Judy and Uncle Douglas are coming at the end of April and I am looking IMENSELY FORWARD TO THAT! I have so much to show them and so little time! I am hoping that my next host family will agree to take them in for a couple days or more! And there are some really nice inexpensive pensions here in Pisek they could stay in with a kitchen. So I'll be cooking at their pension traditional czech food! I am excited to take them to the local Indian Restaurant! It is exactly similar to the food in India so says the Czech people that have been to India! So I am excited! All around!

I am going onto the 2nd round of my flute quartet competition. We are really good and I hope we win this next round! Although the songs are dreafully long and I get pretty tired after the 2nd song that's about 8 minutes long of constant playing!

Since Spring is in the air I am able to go to alot of more places and being able to travel more if I want to! Winter was dreaful and sad most of the times... but there was happy moments too! I just am more of a sunny person I guess :)

I got a snail... his name is PB Captain C. or Bobule for short. That means Berry in Czech. He currently had some eggs... so... this shall be interesting.

My fluency of Czech isn't as great as I thought it would be. I am quite jealous of the people that went to Brazil or some easy language country and can speak it fluently... Czech is just so.... so... hard. I cannot even describe to you! I am able to hold some long conversations and to understand practically EVERYTHING I hear. It's just hard sometimes to create the sentence because of how it is set up and the grammatics... I wish I could explain more ;)

The best thing about Spring now is to see the river from my school window and to see swans and it unfrozen. Life is good.

Soccer will be starting outside soon and that should be more fun! I am looking forward to so many things!

I am sorry I haven't written lately! I hope I covered some good areas. Not so negative right?

Take care everyone and thanks for reading (lydia) :P
