Still have a while!

Word(s) of the day:
Word- slovo
Sandals- Sandály

At the moment, I'm surfing the web looking for a decent, but affordable double case for my violin and viola that could fit in plane overheads. No luck so far. I'm hoping not to have to leave one home, but if I need to choose, I've been advised to leave the viola and find one there. I still have my fingers crossed.
I'm leaving sometime in mid-August, but I'm already thinking about what I need
to pack. I want to bring something that's unique to Rochester to my host family,
but I haven't decided yet. Maybe hot sauce from Dinosaur Barbecue?

Ahoj!

Ahoj! My name is Meghan, and in August 2010, I'm leaving for the Czech Republic. I'll be living with a fabulous host family in Nový Jičín until July 2011. It will be pretty different leaving Western New York to head to Eastern Moravia, but I'm pumped. I just finished my freshman year of high school. I hope to see a new side of our little world and have the experience of a lifetime. I really need to get started learning Czech, seeming as I can only say about five basic phrases and in 2 1/2 months, I'll be speaking Czech all day long! Thanks for checking out my blog.
