Victory and Failure

My breakfast today was more of a success than yesterday! I cooked my bacon appropriately, but there was just so much fat it was still chewy. It seems better to buy bacon in a hunk and cut it oneself than buy in in pre-cut squares because the squares have so much more fat.
On a side note, I am absolutely loving my shampoo and conditioner. It's just Garnier so I am going to see if I can buy the same kind at home, but my hair is amazingly soft and not greasy. It's possible the weather here also has something to do with that...
We had class at noon and did not watch The Fireman's Ball because the disk cannot be found (I had borrowed the binder of DVDs last week so one student freaked out and insinuated that I lost/stole it). My teacher does not blame me for it, thankfully, and I know I didn't lose it. Instead, we watched Zelary: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288330/. It was set during WWII and it followed a woman who acted against the Third Reich and had to hide in the small town of Zelary. It was really good and I loved the music that was incorporated. It had a sad and rather open ending, like most Czech film.
We were done with class around 4pm and I had an apple with Nusica...which is a chocolate/cream spread, and bread. Ali, Kelly, and I went to a thrift store that Ali found last week. I got a flowy grey shirt with a bedazzled neck line and a pink maxi dress for 270 kcz together...so just under $15. I have been searching for this exact kind of maxi dress for the longest time, they are usually upwards of $50. The store was this tiny adorable store with a bunch of clothes separated on racks of shirts, pants, skirts, etc. There were also some purses and shoes. I tried on several things and decided against buying this cool shirt that was covered in newsprint/newspaper pictures. If the writing was in Czech I probably would have bought it, but it was in English. Kelly got a dress and a shirt, and Ali got a bunch of stuff. 
We then went to Old Town Square where the Czech Republic vs. Portugal game was playing. We got our faces painted with the Czech flag and grabbed pizza. We then got ice cream from this place called Boom, and I decided to walk on the wild side and get 3 scoops; coffee, cookies, and stracciatella. Kelly didn't want all of her ice cream, and we passed a guy who was sitting on the sidewalk asking for money, and she wanted to give it to him. She wasn't sure if that would be insulting or something so I gave it to him. Warm fuzzies. Portugal scored 80 minutes in unfortunately, so the Czech Republic wont be advancing in the Euro Cup :(
Tomorrow I am going to the zoo!
