Ahoy Praha!

That means hello Prague, in czech. Thats all I can say so far. Good start I think! So I finally arrived in Prague today, after a surprisingly comfortable and cheap bus ride from Vienna. I made the mistake not being able to resist a nap, and hence this post comes to you at 5am. Oh wait, its already 6! breakfast in an hour!!
So I am finally on the underground (whatever they call it here) and not sure how I feel yet. I'm in Prague! But I haven't seen anything yet! Then suddenly, my eyes land on the stunningly attractive poster:
and suddenly, instead of being just another American in Prague, I am the girl cracking up in the subway by myself. Laughing at everything. Obviously the poster is a gem, but isn't my life as well? Here I am in a city where I know no one, do not speak the language, and do not have a job. In a city that I didn't even know anything about until a month ago. HILARIOUS right?? Well I thought so, convincing most people around me that I was one of those crazy rejected Americans who had been set free in Europe. On arrival, I realized that one of the main reasons I am here is out of pure stubbornness. I decided I was going to do this, and so despite the fact that all my ducks were certainly not in a row, I came. I have trouble changing my plans, or not doing something I say I will. It's a problem. Ok wait, John Mayer "Home Life" just came on...isn't life ironic?
So what if I have 2 weeks to find a job. Or have a new language to learn, or have a bunch of new friends to make...I have a really good feeling about this. So Prague I say to you: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Bring it on (well, bring it on after the jet lag passes)
