I consider this a good experience and I'm looking forward to the upcoming videoconference on death penalty (it also seems to be a more discussable topic then "how do you elect president in your country?").
Inaudibly DID
This Friday, I participated in a student videoconference concerning elections (in a broader way then just the US presidential of '08). It was a part of international project called Deliberating in Democracy. My task was to describe major Czech political parties to a bunch of high school students from Illinois. After a series of jokes me and my Czech colleagues made about English spelling of ČSSD or KSČM, I cowardly gave the poor Americans Czech spelling followed by translated meaning of those abbreviations and brief descriptions of these parties. I probably should have said something more, but we were running out of time due to their problems with microphones - we could hear about every other syllable. At the end, there was a woman holding 3 microphones in front of the one who was speaking.
Our principal rocks!!!
There's wi-fi in our school's study room!! Our principal just rocks. That's for the good news.
The bad news of the week (or, more likely, a decade) is the fact that I don't have the AC/DC ticket. I mean can you believe this? These guys are legends. They've been playing since 1975, I wasn't to be alive for the next 16 years by that time. Now, they are coming to Prague!! And, surprise: I WON'T be there. I'm still hoping they will release some extra tickets, but otherwise, I'm screwed.
There's not gonna be a point this time (not that the other times there have been one. Today, however, I won't even try).
