My picture in an official Prague Guide
Alexandra Moss found my picture of the Prague TV tower on Flickr, and since all of my pictures are published with an Attribution-ShareAlike license, asked me for permission to use it in the Schmap Prague guide. You can download the guide here and let me know what you think (they don't have a Mac version yet, so I've no clue what it looks like). AFAIK it's free.

Celebration
after what seemed as an awfully long time, I went out and enjoyed a beer or five. Great way to celebrate the end of this week, full of exams and work...

Bc. Juraj Slota
I've finally obtained a university education today and can put Bc. (for bachelor's degree) in front of my name...not that I will, but at least I can say I'm smart in job applications;-)
The exam was easy enough, although if I had picked more difficult questions, the result might not have been as good.
Thanks to all of you who held their fingers crossed! It helped!

Montauk: Revisited
The trip over here was loooong. My dad drove me to the BB bus station at 3am on Tuesday. The bus arrived in Bratislava at 6:30 or so. The plane to Prague took off at 10:30. In Prague, I ran to the other terminal, just in time to see Zuzana board her plane to JFK. I had to wait 4 more hours, and then my plane got delayed. I was getting worried that I won't make the connecting flight from Paris. Luckily the Air France people were waiting for us (people w the connecting flight) and drove us expressly to the next plane, we only had 20 minutes until the next takeoff. Amazingly the luggage made it on time as well! So after cca 30 hours, I emerged from at the arrival gate at JFK, where Casey and Zuzana were waiting for me. Niice. The drive to Montauk wasn't sop smooth, Casey's car had a gas leak and we had to stop in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, he was able to fix it (with the help of my great little cell phone light;-) and we made it to Montauk eventually (2am).
The Romanians were here already...
Couple of words on our accomodation. We live in a house with a big terrace in "smurf village", up one luxury level from last year. Now it can be awarded 1 star. Andrei and Roxana have 1 room, Zuzana and two other Romanian girls share a big "room" in the middle, we'll put a curtain to separate it in two. Vierka and I will have our own room as well, niiiiiiice! There's a spacious bathroom and a non-equipped kitchen. There's a fridge and a gas stove, but no cupboard or pots and pans or table. They promised we'll have those when the landlord/lady comes back. Hopefully soon.
I started working in Gosman's on Friday, it's quite busy. Made some money already. Yesterday was a crazy night, the kitchen was slow, customers were unhappy, I was exhausted. But I walked w more than 220, not bad for 5 hours. I'm looking for a second job as well, I was offered a bellboy position in the Montauk Manor, and I might get a job in the post-office as well. I need the international driver's license though...
Before we find a cheap and suitable car, we are riding bikes that we "borrowed" from Kmart (we'll return them at the end of the summer:). We're also going to borrow a TV, microwave, AC...;-) We also have a new phone installed, along with a 100Mbps internet (nice) and a 200channel cable TV. The phone number is in my skype profile if you want to call me;-)
The weather is hot hot hot and humid. At least it's good for business;-)
Gotta run now, work starts soon...
Hasta later.

It's been a while...
Ok, found some time to post a bit finally...Let's see, the last post was 3 weeks ago, a lot of things happened since.
The last days at HEC were great, I did the last exams and presentations. The final presentation at EDS was cancelled, and Susana had to present my part to our academic tutor because the presentation took place on Friday, and was gone already. I got the grades this week: Business Project B, Management Instruments C, Network Economy A, Energy&Finance A. I'm satisfied;-)
Back to the last day on campus, the party was great. It was too big to fit inside the building so they fenced off an area around the building as well. There was the obligatory DJ, a really great live ragga band and a djembe steel band. Nice. It finished at 7am and I had to pack super fast because I had to return the keys to the room by 8am. Tom and Patrick saw me off to the train station, we said goodbye. I miss them, they were loads of fun and good friends. I'm sure I'll see them again.
The trip back to Prague was ok because I was extremely exhausted, so I slept most of the 15 hours of the bus ride. Prague was great, met the old friends again, had good beer finally. The embassy took too long to process my visas so I left for Bystrica on thursday instead of Tuesday. We went in Nakli's broken car;-) It was great to be back home, see my parents, brother (Viktor was gone in CZ already), dog...And friends. We did the usual Friday night out, Hi-Fi and Ponorka till dawn. Zaba, Nakli and I went biking one day, I missed biking a lot (I bike a lot here in Montauk now...) Other than that I pretty much just enjoyed my stay home, so much that I forgot to take care of my international driving license again. Hopefully my dad will be able to get it again this year. Tuesday, Last day in BB, Nakli and Miso(Urda) drove to Donovaly and enjoyed some Kofola in the mountains. I miss mountains as well. Paris has one little hill and Montauk is as falt as it gets. Maybe att the end of the season we'll go to the Rockies...

Happy Shiny People
Last week(s?) have been great. We had a barbecue by the lake on Friday. On Saturday I went to Cyrilles's housefor another barbecue. It was awesome. He has a mediterranean style house in the suburbs, huge garden, pool...We drank fresh caipirinha, grilled great meat, watched the world cup, fooled around in the pool, ate some more...great day, it was very warm, and as always, getting out of campus is a treat in itself.
Oh, last week I passed two exams - Energy and Finance and Network Economy. They weren't too difficult, epsecially the former one as it was open book;-) We had yet another presentation on wednesday in EDS, it was alright but there was low turnout so it kinda missed the point. That is why they cancelled this week's final presentation, yeeeeehaaaaaaaw8-)
I just got back from my last exam, Management Instruments and Social Behaviour. I have no idea how I will be evaluated, the questions were quite general...but I'm sure I wrote enough to pass, especially since the test accounts for only 30% of the grade.
Now it's party time!!! Actually I need to pack stuff first, take care of a lot of paperwork etc...and then its party time!!!
As I said, last weeks were beautiful, sunny, warm...horrible weather to be sick. Yeah I am sick again, I can't bring myself to take it easy so it keeps coming back.
I'm going back to Prague on Friday, I don't know how though. Carpool hopefully;-)
K, i'm gonna end my random rants here, got a lot of things to do.
have a good 1
