Things are improving. They weren't bad per say, but they were a little gloomy. As some of you know, the sky here was pouring down on us so much so that Prague started flooding, and the entire city was put on some sort of High Alert. It was all over the news. My mother was probably panicking, bless her. It wasn't actually that bad, but we couldn't go out as much (we weren't really allowed to one day) despite desperately wanting to get out of the apartments. On the times that we did go out, it was so depressing. Between the constant rain and grey and humidity, being outside wasn't all that great anyway.
However, we have put that all behind us now. I am laying in bed by an open window waiting for some classmates to come back from a run (I could've gone, I suppose), and the sky is bright blue and the air is fresh. And and and I don't really remember what rain looks like today. I hate rain.
I really like this post from my other blog. You should read it. It has lots of feelings and some facts in it. http://lanabaumgartner.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/s-e-x/
Tomorrow, we start day long adventures and I am excited for those. I love the leisurely days (okay I sort of don't love them, but I accept their existence), but I'm ready to be busy and see new things and learn much. I have found how much I love my days to be filled to the brim with experience. I have been told I am bad at relaxing, and maybe that's true, but I love learning and being challenged by people and places so much more. Re-reading that, I'm pretty sure that's news only to me and all of you are like "duh Lana, we could've told you that about yourself eight years ago."Ah well!
Here are my favorite photos (the first three are not very good) since the last post.

| THE FLOOD! That's a street sign and a swan. |

| Looking at the flooding from the park railing. His facial expression pretty much sums it up. |
 |
| He caught me. Awkward. |

| This is pretty shameful. On one of the horrible rainy days, we were walking around, drowning really, and saw a mall. Then, we went inside the mall. And it was like bathing in hot chocolate. The mall was warm and had soothing colors, and I never thought I'd be so happy to be in a mall, but I'm telling you, the rain was horrible. It was like a reverse oasis. |

| I wrote a blog post about this photo that I was pretty genuine about. That sounds weird, but you know what I mean maybe. This was during a moments break from the rain on the same day as the mall. Everyone is looking up at the astronomical clock (once upon a time, it was one of the 7 wonders of the world), and they were all so freakin' happy to be there. I, on the other hand, was whiney and miserable and missing Barton Springs (drenched in freezing water by choice), and then I found these people. They were just happy to be in Prague at all. It was very humbling. |
