A few thoughts after my first lesson in Czech:
1. I cannot roll an 'r' to save my life.
2. Hard 'd' into a rolled 'r'? My tongue does not go that way!
3. I worked on about three sentences for over an hour, and now two hours later I can't remember any of them. This could take a while . . .
I just got a new Czech phrase book as well, so hopefully if I can just get the new consonant sounds down, I'll be able to muddle my way through the grocery store when I arrive at least! We'll see . . .
In other news, I get to go get a tuberculosis test on Wednesday and then the bulk of my paperwork will be completed. Hurrah! Also, I get to spend a weekend in San Francisco for the spring meeting--the urge to shop will probably be overwhelming but I will have to control myself. My 100 pounds of luggage isn't going to go very far as it is!
83 days and counting!

She's survived the first three months, but now it's started snowing! Will she withstand the daily walks in the cold? More importantly, after a winter of nothing but Dansko clogs and snow boots, will she ever be able to spend an entire day in high heels again?
Thanks for caring--or at least being curious . . .
Those of you who have become "regulars" are awesome, by the way . . . .
