FOTKYAPARAT!

hi! i'm sorry it took me so long to re-post again, i hope you're all still listening! i just always have so much to say, and never enough time to say it... so i think that if i wait a while, i'll have more time, except that then i have more to say as well... it's a vicious cycle.

i FINALLY have a camera. i walked around town yesterday taking pictures and i put them on photobucket.com, but there aren't that many of slovakia yet... i have some pictures other people have taken on there too... if they were taken by other people, the person's name is in "[[]]"

my name for the site is "xxche" again and i made it private because... i felt like it. so the guest password is "redfish13" [[like one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish... because i was thinking about that story when i decided. =P]]

i went to a town called nova paka in the czech republic over the weekend... there are pictures in there from that, too... we had to dress up in clothing from the '20s and '30s, so some of my friends in roznava helped me find the dress i wore. i like it loooooooooots.

school is still good, though slightly boring because i can't understand enough to learn anything and i feel bad distracting my classmates. i took a math test a few days ago and got it back today... 92%! yay! juraj [[the boy i sit with.]] and i decided that we liked math, since he got 100%, but then the teacher started telling us about the next chapter and we both got confused and changed our minds.

i have been sick for the past week... it's not cool... but everyone else in school is too, so i guess that's how it goes. it's totally slovak, though, because i've never felt like this before... when i first got it, my head was spinning and i felt like i was going to throw up and i was coughing and my nose was running... and it was all really bad. but it's getting better now and i only have the last two... so i guess that's good.

i am going to go to a rotary meeting soon, so i have to go get ready. i promise that from now on i will try to write in here at least every other day...

thank you for your comments and i still hope all is going well! if you could tell me a bit about what's going on back home, that'd be neat... i want to hear about all of you too!

Hi Chel,

Mom just told me you had another blog entry.. Had to check it out.

Love your picture..

So, what does "fotkyaparat" mean?? I sure the language can be a problem, at times.

Other than being sick, sounds like you're having a great time.

Catch you another time..

Love ya,
Grammmy

"fotkyaparat" means camera... but not in slovak, i don't think. i don't remember. haha.

i'm totally learning hungarian and german, too.

interesting story:: i didn't know how to say something in slovak and my host father didn't understand what i was trying to say in english, so i explained it in [[very broken]] german, becuase i'm learning that in school. it's neat.

hahaha. isn't that sweet? and it's even more random because i've never met anyone here named evelyn, so i don't think it's a popular name here... but it's in the square!

love you too! <3

Hi Chel...

So, I'll just go around and ask people if they have a "fotkyaparat" maybe someone will say yes and I'll ask what language it is... Must be an easier way!

Saw your new pictures...really neat. Looks like you're having a great time and seeing some great sights. Love your '20's outfit..

Catch you soon..love you bunches,
Grammy
