grasse matinees

this morning i had to take dalyce to the bus stop to go to raca. before in the flat in the foyer, we met ati and we said our greetings. we went to the bus stop. and i was telling dalyce the whole story about how i had a crush on ati (the homeowner) and how me and rachel were discussing him the other day and he had snuck up on us. now he really did sneak up on is again JUST as i was saying i would ride that train.
that is all.

my life right now

my life

welcome back donna

I am now myself. no more running around in a different country not knowing where the hell i was going. so many stories to tell. I will start off by saying i quit my job and now i will be free to do whatever i want. firstly, I am going to make a list of all the things i want to do before i go:
-visit budapest
-vienna again
- nightlife
-buy stuff and things for friends/family
-donate clothes to thriftstore
-

exceptionally black-“In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.” -Toni Morrison

I was reading arendt on her essays on the exceptional jews and everything she said became so familiar to me, like deja vu or something of that sort.
just why do I ALWAYS have to prove myself? Without skipping a beat, every person I meet I have to prove something to them.
Some people are just born, and thats the only time that they have to prove themselves.
"You have to be TWICE as good as them to get HALF of what they have!"
This show is too real. There are some shows that are good, but at the end of the series, you don't think about them. BUT this show, it gets you thinking. In the end, its never about race bc people dont realize that JUST to live a NORMAL life, I had to work hard while others just simply be. If I were to simply just "be" I would not be here.

The positive thing about travelling is meeting new people who are just like you. You can get along well and you meet friends who will last a life time. The thing is, no one is like me. As I deepen my relationship with the people I have met, I realize that they came to love the world and cultures from a different perception in me. Yes, everyone has a different story, but in the end, I notice that I try to hide my story, not bc im shy or im ashamed, is just that I dont want to be claimed as "exceptional". I just want to be normal.

Death is the only guarantee in life

to have no expectations but still get let down

Ne pleure pas pour quelqu'un qui n'en vaut pas la peine,

Garde t'es larmes pour celui qui t'aime.

dissapointment

is like the worst feeling ever, i would rather feel anything else than this feeling right here.

brno-much awesome

the whole weekend was a blast.
but so tiring.
we went to prague around 10 pm in the dead cold wandering around trying to find out where we were supposed to met our friends. I had already had a few glasses of wine before we left so we were the loud black folks in prague.

taught a group of teenagers today for the first time those kids are out of control. uve got one kid who definitely knows his shit then uve got the kid who is smart but doesnt apply himself to the fullest so hes definitely the ass in the group, then uve got the incoherent kid who doesnt know his ass from his tooth, then theres the girl in the group who receives most of the attention bc shes the only girl in the group. A lot of teen angst there, ugh.

should i take the rapey path home, or the less rapey path home???decisions, decisions....

slowly not learning the langugue

new word: fact, jo?

real meaning: it is a fact, yes?

sheer dissapointment

Today, I decided to discover unhost and tomorrow i am going to prague for the day to find the african hair store. Best of luck!

great day today in the cz. warm welcome and i feel like at home with my new family. and a little wine to end the night.:))

1st day of training

so far i think i like my job. this morning i woke up after two hours of sleep. I went to bed pretty early in order to wake up early for my training. That did not happen, I sleep for a total of 6 hours it seemed. Thanks so my snoring roommate, I was able to wake up before my alarm clock and make it early to my training. I know these next few weeks will be tiring but there are going to be worth it. Also the other day, I was stopped by an African on the streets near my hostel. I knew I would find them sooner or later. Today I went to a czech restaurant for the first time. They are very different here. The beer is super cheap. I just found out that my town is VERY cheap( about 5000 korona for rent). No wonder we get paid low (according to US standards). As long as I save up money to travel I will be ok...I just have to make it past this month....

might have to...

write a blog about living in karlovy vary. I have yet to find a good one....

while im here...

Im trying to rest before my training session bc i know I am going to be dead tired when it starts. A couple of things I have to do before I go to karlovy vary is visit and african store, see the top three sites, go to a bar/club...

top 5 moments of my journey

1. To all the people who helped me get my lost ass from the airport to the hostel. One bus to the metro, metro to the bus, then walk to the hotel. 2.talking with my wonderful friends on skype as soon as i got to the hostel 3. experiencing the most extreme turbulence I can remember. I can really afraid for my life. 4. To the couple making out beside me on the plane=fuck you; drunk guy at the bus stop mumbling drivel. 5. awesome front desk guy who help me charge my laptop bc i was too daft to check before i left if my adaptor fit.
