SO this title was meant for the entire last week since it rained literly every day (každý den for those of you who prefer Czech), and I decided to wait to write until now, the first day it was actually nice out and didn't rain. Oops. But for the most part its true.
Nothing has really happened worth documenting in this here blogg. Last week of classes has led to a crazy write-papers-before-they-are-due weekend... and last weekend in the Praha. Began pretty boring, writing all day, however just got back from a birthday celebration which was great! 1 liter pivos and a stop off at Prague Cayote ugly led to a successful night. Now im back and looking to write some more of a paper so I don't have to later.... yes it is already 1am here.
