Arrival

I have arrived in Prague, dear ones! It was an eventful trip. I was forced to check my carry-on bag in Indianapolis after the overhead bins were too full for everyone’s things. My flight to Dublin from Chicago was delayed by an hour and a half, so when I arrived in Dublin, I had 20 minutes to get from the end of one terminal to the end of another. I breathlessly made my flight to Prague……but my luggage did not. My ATM card isn’t working despite my clearing all of my new life information with my bank. I have no money to give to my landlord for my apartment deposit. Therefore, I spent my first night in Prague with no clothes, toothbrush, deodorant, prescriptions, or any possessions whatsoever, and I have no money. Needless to say, I’m quite stressed and feeling a lot of frustration.

My landlord was gracious enough to give me five days to get her my deposit, so at least I had a place to sleep last night. My apartment is very cute and I love my bedroom. My roommate and and the other new teachers I live with have been so generous and kind in helping me with food and the metro, but I’m really concerned about making my deposit. If you are the praying kind, please pray that my problems will be resolved and my heart will be lifted, because right now I’m very disheartened and frustrated. Stay tuned for more drama from the Czech Republic…
