Welcome Abord This Fully Armed and Opperational Battle Station

Hello to everyone,

I'm just getting this all set up and online before I leave for Prague on Febuary 4th. I'll be flying to Chicago to connect with my flight to Frankfurt and finally Prague early the 5ht. I'll be studying at the Liberal Arts campus of the Anglo-American College, a small college-400 students-where classes are taught in English. (FUN FACT: All classrooms, administration and library and other services are located in two buildings, Lázeňská 2 and 4, the site of the medieval convent of the Sovereign Order of the Knights of Malta) The Program lasts until May 24th so I have 110 days of excitement, adventure, and learning ahead of me. In addition to classes, which I have not yet received final confirmation of, I plan to play Rugby with Slavia RFC and Ultimate with Terrible Monkeys (they don't have an English website, lame). I am looking forward to lots of traveling on weekends and in addition to whatever interesting things I can find in Prague. The program I am going through is CEA (Cultural Experiences Abroad) and they have set us up with an amazing itinerary (visible on the sideboard). I will attempt to be diligent about updating this but I make no promises as I don't yet know how busy I'll be doing Pragueish things. I will also look into adding a photo gallery if that is possible and assuming I take some worthwhile photos. Feel free to post comments to me and/or shoot me emails. Oh, and the time stamp is set for Central European time.

Thanks, Pete
