After four months of running from the law, we got our visas to validate our stay in the Czech Republic. It was a long and tedious process, as well as expensive. We seemingly had to dish out money every step of the way. Complications with our lawyer only bogged us down more and our pleasant stay in Prague has been called into question. Sadly, the moment we received our visas we began to think about returning home. A sad thought when things were getting better. My visa lasts for 114 days. I have to be packed and ready to go by June 14th. But Eve's visa expires June 5th. Why the difference in days? Who knows. Another vexing problem added to the bag. (Although, this is not as bad as Sara's visa only lasting for ~70 days....)
After some deliberation, we arranged our flights home. We are leaving on May 27th and we couldn't be happier with the weight of the decision off our shoulders. It feels nice to have some definite answers for once. No more vague answers when asked questions about our visa situation or 'when am I coming home?' I'd be happy to oblige you with the answers.
Last week was pretty difficult on me to say the least. I wasn't feeling too good about our situation here, even after getting our visas situated. Everybody gave me (us) a celebratory congratulations on our 'triumphant victory!' I wish I could have shared their spirits, mood and drink. I felt down and indifferent about working so I took all day Thursday and Friday morning off. It didn't really help but it was a consequence of my mood. I feel better now that we have a set time frame. Maybe the vagueness was really getting to me. It's amusing how 10 months can go by in a blink of an eye whereas everyday could drag on, ball and chain and everything. Routine. Droll, i know. But our trip here has had a little bit of both. Weeks fly by but I can feel the inexplicable slowness in each day. Here's to hoping that the former drowns out the latter. Cheers.
Today, my lesson canceled as I was getting off the tram. I don't mind the cancellation, especially since it was late and i get paid anyways, but I don't like going all the way there just to come back. Well, I've been enjoying my free day so far. I watched 28 Weeks Later and I enjoyed it very much. I loved the opening scene and the cinematography. Eve and I had lunch at The Globe after her lesson and I've been here every since. I like this place. I'm upstairs alone, enjoying a Gambrinus and contemplating our dinner options. I foresee an unavoidable Tesco run for sure. Maybe another movie tonight? I'll let you know.
