What a surprise ...

I really didn´t know who I live with till today:) My flatmate is in Paris "being involved in the conference on human rights and democratic values." That seems to be very professional and academic! But it´s great. When I was reading it I thought that the last sentence will sound like: So, I am sorry but I have to go now. I forgot to buy that wonderful jacket at Vuitton and I am really worried that it will be sold out. And that would be A DISASTER! I would not have matching item to my new Vivienne Westwood´s shoes! That would be funny though. But some day it might be true. Anyway, I hope Suzanne is (and will be) ok in Paris - people there came out on strike.

Well, I have just seen my photos from my matriculation. It´s weird cause I am at most of them. I stand in the first row so everybody can admire "wonderful" Kate:) But on the other hand, I will have a lot of photos to show my grankids - one meaning of life at least.

I go now because I am hungry. I´m at home at my mama. Therefore there must be something to eat .. there is ALWAYS something to eat!

First Impressions

Hey people!

I am sitting in the Paris hotel Renaissance being involved in the conference on human rights and democratic values between the EU and Russia. It is pretty hot right now. There's a discussion about a relationship between Russia and the EU and it has been started by an innocent question asked by a girl who wanted to know what is a definition of "values" from the russian view and it, of course, made angry a main russian leader. The argue has become really hot.

Does the EU have a common opinion on Kosovo issue?

To say a few words about the hotel I am just amazed. The hotel has four stars so the rooms are truly beautiful, with amazing view from the window and with five pillows on each bed! We are all impressed.

The truth is that some kind of barrier has been built between Russians and other Europeans. To be honest I didn't expect this. I thought that if we launch this kind of discussion including more foreign students, the atmosphere will be open for all opinions and views, not only for expressing strong statements on particular topics. Russians are quite sensitive while talking about Kosovo or Chechenia.

I will write more when I get more impressions.

Suzanne

My only salvation ..

everybody knows what that is .. I feel just for it today .. boo ..

What a prospect!

It's November and that can only mean that Christmas and finals are drawing closer and closer. We are going to take the first exams very soon. I am sure we are both stressed and scared. Hard to believe the time passes so quickly.

I have great news. I am going to Paris next week! I am so happy that my school offers these opportunities. I've met princess Ann, I am going to Paris and in MarchI will go to Brussels. This trip to Paris is completely for free. Everything is paid by the organization. That's even better! And what's more I won't miss any class because my flight is on Thursday evening and return is on Sunday. And what's the best - we have holidays on Monday!

I am sad because Kate goes home every weekend and leaves me here. I understand that it's better to be at home, there are better conditions for studying and sleeping. Private happiness.

I am not really sure if someone reads our lines. There are no comments. Maybe someone could be so nice and make us happy by leaving some warm words for us ;-)

The Daily Distaste

As Suzanne wrote, everything is bad...not everything but almost everything! I found out couple days ago that I will have to take horrible exams from math. It wont be just one!
The good news is I have days off next week...I will have to babysit my sister´s dogs next weekend so I will have the strenght for it after those days off which is great. Otherwise I would have to kill them..what a nice positive sentence to end with:)

Kate

On duty

Ufff

We've oficially begun studying at university and feeling desperate. Almost every day we get up at 6am. That's the worst thing I'm not able to manage. I'm asking myself "why?". I'm not going to write everything here because I have no time for it and don't really feel like complaining.

All I want to say is I don't regret anything. So far.

Suzanne

Ugh

Hello boys and girls

I am absolutely exhausted. The reason? The entering to subjects at uni is coming and I don't understand anything, I am looking into a list of subjects and am getting blind of it. I am mad.

Kate wrote very interesting news to our quick news column. I'm not actually with my boyfriend right now but maybe I will. I would like to go to the cinema because the weather is horrible, I don't know what to do but I am sure I don't want to see the subjects and schedules and anything about uni now. Kate's boyfriend is sick and I'm really truly sorry for him. I hate vomiting. I can stand many things but vomiting. Ble.

I'm working on finding a part-time job. I am going to inerview next week. Think of me. I am scared. I really need a job (or money).

There are a few days left before school starts. Tomorrow it's a holiday which is just great. We (me + my bf) are planning that I will teach him how to drive a car. It will be fun :-) I hope the weather will be better. I want to enjoy the last few days of doing-nothing.

Oh, I almost forgot to write about my get-together trip! ... I can't find words. I read about 7 km form the railway station to the camp but ... it was actually something between 10 and 12 km because the organiser knew that if he had said that we have to go 12km, nobody would have probably gone with him. So the beginning was interesting as well as the end. At the end we walked 4 km while raining!!! Just great! The most important thing took place on Tuesday when the director of the Institute of International Studies arrived and talked about how to register and enter the subjects. I am smarter and also more frightened.

That's all for now. I have to go to rack my head over the entering.

See you

Suzanne

let´s sing a song

Turn away

If you could get me a drink

Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded

Call my Aunt Marie

Help her gather all my things

And bury me in all my favourite colors,

My sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you-

Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you.

Now turn away, Cause I'm awful just to see

Cause all my hair's abandoned off my body,

Oh my agony,

Know that I will never marry,

Baby, I'm just soggy from the kimo,

But counting down the days to go..

It just ain't living

And I just hope you know,

That if you say

Goodbye today I'd ask you to be true,

Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...

Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...

...I am allergic to some kind of people...

I am really exhausted right now. The thing is, that I spent yesterday and today in my new job. It is called a Course Registrar and it is in language school I attended last year. It would be fine but .. there is always the word but:) There is a "girl" I really dont like. She just thinks that she is the best in the whole world and nobody is better than her. She works there for a year. She is even arrogant towards our boss. She speaks brilliant English and therefore she supposes she is much better than everybody. I just dont understand people like her..

I am going to be there on my own next week. That will be very funny I think. I can imagine myself in front of the computer with a huge line of people, the phone ringing, my stomach growling ...that is the perfect picture! Or I will type here such a desperate blogs that I dont know what to do ...

Hopefully I will manage!

Suzanne is coming back today from her getting-to-know-you camp. I was kind of surprised cause I thought she was going to be back tommorow. But that´s ok:) I will be here just with Lucy anyway.

Anyway, I saw a gorgeous coat! In Zara... Its just amazing! I´ll put the picture here!! I wont!! :((( I didn´t find it on internet, booooo ... so I HAVE TO buy it now and take a picture of me in it!!


Kate

If you gave me three wishes I'd throw two of them away

It has been a week since we've updated our blog. I'm not sure if any news has been occupying our lives recently but I have time right now and my flatmate is sleeping (or trying to sleep) and I just need a little talk.

I kind of like the photo that Kate posted in her last article. It's a little bit depressing because it's too dark but if you look at it as if it's a sunset (or sunrise) then it makes you feel calm. And that's the way how Katie wrote her story. I agree with what she said there always must be a difficulty because that makes us stronger and grown-up.

On Tuesday I joined a reunion of my future classmates. We went to a restaurant called Simple Simon (in czech: Hloupy Honza) where we sat around a big table and talked and where music was quiet but nice. There are such interesting people I must admit. I'm going on a get-together trip next week and I'm quite nervous but also curious. All the things I am approaching to make me nervous and curious at the same time which is, in my opinion, a great mix :-) [with no irony].

I've also registered in Instituto Cervantes and I will attend the spanish course every Saturday from 9am to 1pm. I hope I get lots of information about university on the trip because I'm still not sure about the third language. I think I have to attend a language course so I've already made a decicion I will go to the French Institute and apply for Friday course from 4pm to 8pm. It's not a final solution.

Oh, I almost forgot ... I visited World Press Photo on Monday. It was mostly sad as usual. I didn't expect a change. The truth is I don't like the winning photo. I like the contrast - a beautiful car with nice people and destroyed buildings in the background but I just feel nothing to write about. Maybe because the people in the car look like they've just came from Hollywood and the situation hasn't touched them because they just seem to be posh. That's my feeling from the photo. I think there were better photos in the exhibition. Last year I liked the winning photo so much I bought a picture of it.

The Kate's fashion updates make me crazy. I'd like to buy a similar coat but I'm running out of money ...

Suzanne

Hiii peopleeee!

I am pretty sure that you should enjoy every happy moment in your life the most you can. Because the life changes in every second. I was so happy yesterday in the afternoon. We were sitting with Somelady in a coffee shop drinking a good coffee. I got a new job, we live in an amazing flat, my boyfriend was on his way to our place..but couple hours later, everything was different. The job seems to be still current though, but that´s all! :)) No, we still live in the flat too, but things aren´t so smooth as it looked like before. But on the other hand, it is not sooo bad:) (we didn´t break up or something either:)

But it would be maybe too boring I suppose...life with no problems:)

Anyway, there are "problems" and "problems". Some people find problems just everywhere eventhough there are not any. To say the truth, sometimes I am one of these people:) But I am trying very hard not to be. It´s very difficult, trust me:) But for example, my future classmates are already worrying about our new school duties and all things around..but why?? tell me why?? when you have no idea what everything will be like..you will just see..

good night everybody:)

Hi folks!

Nice to see you again. I am at my mother's at the moment. I spent here two pleasant days but I am glad I am going back to our flat soon ;-) Tomorrow I am going to register to university and that's what makes me crazy :-0 You surely know that feeling ... you want to go there because you're curious but on the other hand you are so nervous that you just can't. Boo.

The greatest news is that we both love our new apartment! We can't believe it. We really like it so much that we don't want to leave it for the weekends-with-parents thing. Our room si very adorable! Maybe we like it way too much just because it's only ours and we can basically do with it what we want. We can organize our day as we want and no one can interfere in our affairs. Whoopee.

On Saturday I was in the cinema to see a movie called Irina Palm. It was about a woman whose grandson was dying of some disease and the only way how to cure him was to send him to Australia because there they have found a new treatment. Their problem was money. The journey and all expenses cost something and they couldn't earn so much money in a short period of time. So here we go. This kind old lady had a plan how to get this money by working in a sex club. Not that it was a difficult work, she became the best in her domain. I was surprised that the movie turned into this way, I expected a sad real-life movie. When I got home one of my flatmates came up with a good theory that the surname Palm is actually connected to the job she was doing ... (Irina Palm was her nickname).

Now I have to go.

The settle down

How do you dare mašlovat these windows??

Kate will get a cold easier than ever now!

What the heck is that?

This doesn´t look like a dinner at all!

Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also

That ´s very nice quotation I think. It´s from a book I read in these days. The weather is revolting ... the time of coats and winter decoration is coming soo quickly .. I dont why but I feel like this every year .. everything´s gloomier than normally .. on the other hand, there is a couple of things that make me happy: the new fashion autumn and winter collections (oh yeah, surprisingly), the pretty colors of leaves and the spirit of Christmas. It might sound little bit like a phrase, especially the last one but I still feel that way.

But this year I will live on my own so it might change. Everything´s gonna change now I suppose.

Kate

...... KATE´S COACH ......

What else can I say?? My dream came true!!!!!!!

Happy girls at home

What´s the most beautiful place when you are young?? Your own place!

That´s right! Tomorrow is our first night in our flat! There will be just me and Suzanne because the other girl is not ready to move. So you can visit us everybody is invited:) I suppose we will spend whole weekend decorating our new place...it will be fun! There is a lot of empty space..And we need to built our new wardrobe from Ikea, that will be funny! We´re lucky that Suzanne´s mom is coming to help us otherwise we would have our clothes in boxes till Christmas:)) No, it wouldn´t be so bad we´re skilful ladies and we have dexterous hands!

I add some pictures of my new stuff from the States...:)

I was so lucky I didn´t have too much money...in that case I would have to buy my own plane for the trip back!!

What can you find in the empty flat? Lovers.

Oh yeah. That was a really "nice" surprise. I was on my way to our flat where my brother with his friend was waiting for me with furniture. I couldn't open the door with my key so I knocked. There was a man behind the door. He said that our flat, according to the contract, is available from September 1st. That is true but our landlord agreed that we can start moving before this date. That man didn't even open the door, he was talking to us through the door so that was a little bit confusing. When he opened the door (after 20 minutes) he was actually very sorry for this misunderstanding. She didn't say a word. Then they left. It was really embarrassing.

But the good news! Beds, desks and a wardrobe are in the flat with all my things and tomorrow we are going to Benátky with Kate to take all her things. So we can live in the flat from tomorrow!!! My father already saw the flat and he liked it. I still could see in his face that he hardly believes we are moving. My mother doesn't have time because she goes every day to hospital with my granny and then to work.

I hope we will put some pictures here to show you the flat. Kate took a lot of photos and also made a video.

Have a nice day!

Suzanne

Start moving, get living!

Miss Kate is back with her new Coach purse and we are all happy :-) She has lots of stories to tell so I wonder she hasn't written any post yet. On Monday we went to the estate agency to sign the contract and I'm proud to tell you we already have our new rent FLAT! Tomorrow we are going to move the furniture and the next day we are going to move ourselves :-) Today I've already packed everything I need to survive the first days. I also packed all my underwear so I had to unpack it later ... yeah, I was so zealous! [btw this is such an interesting word. I found it in the dictionary and it means "horlivý"]. I cooked today as well. Ha ha. I wanted to cook pasta with chicken meat and vegetable ... and somehow ... I forgot to put there the pasta! :-D But everything is ok now, prepared for my mom as a surprise :-)

I think my mom is sad beacause of my leaving. I'm sad because she is sad :-) but she is brave. And my father still can't believe that we found a flat and that I am really moving there.

Because I've been a good girl I got a present from Kate. An american gift! What's more - A Victoria's Secret gift!!! Thank you very much, Kate!
