school / school field trip

Ok. Then. !. yea i dunno what that is ignore it...plus the last blog before i had a problem with the text turning into hindi text after i typed it...dont ask...its for the best you dont ask . .. ...!

Anyway back to the name of this post school...i at first thought i would be going to a High school. Well i was wrong but i am going to school of course that is part of the program but in the czech republic i am attending a trade school by the name of Goodwill Vos. It was started by an american who lives in the Czech Republic and it has about 400 students. The students have all finished highschool already so they are ages 19-21... big difference for me and the 2 other exchange students attending here because... well the other 2 guys are age 16 one is from Canada his name is Jeff and the other is from Tennesee and his name is Thomas. We are getting along really well. I can tell we will have a good year.

For something like a freshman orientation for all the new students to the school this year, including us exchangees. It was only for a day and a half, but it kinda seemed like longer just because everyone asked us the same questions...
"something in czech we did not understand"
and i would respond with "nero zumim" (i dont understand in CZ) "jsem američan" (i am american)
but other than speaking to people who either know english well enough to have a conversation, or others who you have to press to get anything out of,it was a good way to meet the students.
We were suppose to climb some moantain around 1300 meters...but it rained so much that after walking for 20 minutes the teachers turned us around and we went back to the hotel we were staying to just do random nothingness.
