Brno and School, Brno a Škola


S0 lets start with the rest of tuesday. I went to jewish cementary, basilika and saw a lot of the town. I am learning new words every day and I think I am learning very fast.

Now to wednsday. I met the director of the school and the vicedirector. They both seem very nice and the director knew a little about Vancouver. I am in class 6G. In gymnasium all classes are with same group of people all day. Sometimes they slipt in half. There are 25 students in my class including me. It is very different from back home. I apologize I have begun to speak in bad english so people understand me. There are 3 girls in my class who help with my Czech a lot and one boy, Petr who helps me figure out where to go sometimes. I have art, chem, bio, geography, history, czech, english, german (advanced...0.o), physics, PE, math and psychology type class. In the one involving formulas I reconize so I understand a little. I like my english teacher he speaks in a british accent :D. German teacher seems mean so I already don't like her.

After school I went to the office of my host parents, they are a 5 minute walk from school the shortest way. Then I went to lunch with my host dad, Jirka. My host mom is Jara but she was on buisness trip. Czech food is about pasta, potatoe etc with cheese and meat. I am going to get very fat but the food is very good. After lunch we went to buy school supplies. We had to get notebooks, some pencils, a lock for my locker, small dictionnary and a workbook for me on Czech language meant for little kids. I really like the town square. After shopping I was tired as was Jirka. As we were driving home I saw the missionaries but was so tired I didnt want to get out and say hi.

When we got home I organized my stuff, and wrote all my new words in a small notebook I bought for all the words I learn. I was up late doing that and then when I went to bed I was asleep like a rock. I also helped my host sister, Petra, make dinner. I seems very nice and funny.

Now to today aka thursday. I went to school and found my way around pretty well. In physics we had to write a lot so I keept having to looking at one of the girls notebooks cause I don't know czech well yet. In english Mr. Hedgehog (teacher) lets me do whatever I want so I draw and read but when there is discussion I participate. They asked me who I would want to win if anyone was against USA... I said anyone but them. I made them laugh especially when they asked what about Canada and Czech and I said I wouldn't watch. Classes are only 45 minutes so I never get bored of the subject and we got no homework at all it seems. Which makes very happy Erinn :D After school today I went again to Jirka's and Jara's office where I had some of Babičtkas food. It was very good. After that we went to Brno to pick Jara up from her trip and walked around the town and had cake at a yummy sweetshop. Then we went to Czech Ikea because my host parents had to get a bath mat.

I am very tired from my day and am ready to sleep but I must pack for my inbound orientation so I may not write at all the weekend as a prewarning. Here is a link to photos on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2073229&id=1073779998&l=2e9374a3a0
