free time

So, today was a pretty chill day. All we had scheduled today was getting our ID cards from Charles University. And that only took like 30 minutes. So, I did some grocery shopping. I had to buy some laundry detergent, some toilet paper, some kleenex, and some snacks for our trip to Moravia this weekend. They said we leave at like 10:30 a.m. and we don't stop till we get there, which is around 4 p.m. Hopefully today I will be able to figure out how to do laundry in the dorm...as I am getting down to the bare minimum of clothes options. However, in Europe most people don't dry their clothes, they just line dry them. So the laundry room in our dorm doesn't have any dryers...just washing machines. It actually doesn't bother me at all that we can't dry our clothes...half of my clothes have to be line dried anyway, but there is a complete lack of space in my room to dry all of these clothes. So, I will have to figure that out. Also, I am hooking up my Internet tonight...since the office is only open from 8:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Stupid office hours, right? But, I have waited to long as it is. Paying for the Internet is going to be a pain in the butt as well. You have to fill out a money order with the bank in order to pay it. So, I will have to try and communicate with a bank teller about a money order sometime next week.

As for prayer requests, I think that my biggest prayer request right now is that God would send me a friend. There are a lot of nice people here, don't get me wrong, but it is becoming clearer and clearer how much I don't have in common with them. I would just like one friend whom I can rely on, and with whom I can enjoy my time here without having to party every night. Someone who is like-minded. That is where I am struggling most right now.
