Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since I last wrote about camp.At the end of June, my friend Katka who was leading an intern team in Romania wrote me if I wanted to come for their last camp. I've always wanted to discover Romania because I'd heard great things about it and so when I got invited to do a camp there, it didn't take much deciding...and it was a good decision.So we set off with

Yes! Finally! This was our second try to organize an event that would last longer than a few hours and it was one of those events to help us get connected with the students on a more personal level. Our first attempt wasn't met with too much interest and hence had to be cancelled, so we were a little nervous if it'd happen again.This time again we had to put a lot of effort into getting at least

...and I don't really have a reason why! I just kept putting it off until I got to a stage where I thought it'd be awkward to just put up a new post without any explanation,..because I didn't have one.So an apology to those who have been wanting to know what was going on with me and instead got discouraged by my passivity.

Thank you to all who have participated! Next time you need to try harder, because the best dresser in our competition is...Eliška Bačíková! Congratulations, the t-shirt is on the way.With the current conversion rate, the total cost in dollars is about 58,75. Not bad at all!

Ok, I decided to start a contest. The purpose is pretty clear from the title, to dress for as little money as possible and have some fun with it! Why? Because some of us (including me) are wearing way too much money that I'm pretty sure could be invested in a much better way!Why should you participate?1.) to show everyone that you have a good taste and can dress up without spending a fortune (

There have already been three events that we, as the ZLIN'S well, organized this new school year.I still try to convince myself the warm days (and nights) aren't gone for good but everything around is changing so fast. The leaves began to change colours a while ago and you can see them fliterring in the cold wind on their way from the branches to the ground. The first discussion night was on the

Oh yeah, for those of you who know, I have to say no more.For the rest of you, Viva la Vida is the name of a new Coldplay album which they're touring with right now and they made a stop in Prague.In the middle of it, they released like a trillion of paper butterflies of different colours and shone them through with color lights or what. Whatever they did, it looked like nothing I've seen before...

It's a classic. I've been there many times and I enjoy coming back all the more. Not much to add, mountains, crystal clear tarns... it was just pretty even though it was pretty chilly this time...

I had a week with no plans ahead of me, so I decided to walk to my grandparents'. It's about 150km (about 93 miles) and I figured I could make it in four days.The main idea was to just get away from busy civilization for a while and spend some good time with God. The problem was that I didn't bother to consult this idea of mine with the same God. But I realized that only afterwards.My lesson

Even though I couldn't do camps all summer as an intern, I sure was going to do at least one, with Zlin of course...It went really smooth, the whole week was kind of calm and on the same wave. The discussions were so great, just natural and even deep. I was going into it pretty disarrayed since the weeks preceding my graduation were not the best as for my relationship with God. I was trying to

If you're the kind of person that always finds a reason to celebrate, here...I'll make it a bit easier for you this time. Today I graduated from the bachelor program at the University, so you can have a glass of champagne on me!Nervosity was great but not so great that it'd block the few pieces of information from coming out of my mouth.

Yesterday I handed in my Bachelor thesis and so now it's only the graduation ahead of me before I'll be done. Yay! The final exam is not for another two weeks so I have some time to study for it.Because of it though, I couldn't sign up for the JV internship to do camps this summer. I actually have no specific plans, still praying about it.I went to see "Into the Wild" and it exceeded my

3.3.2008The summer semester started almost a month ago and our Zlin well (a translation of the name of our University group) has done two events.Educated from the slow start from the previous term, we had booked all the speakers way ahead and had the event schedule out before the school even started.The first lecture was on How to get the most out of a conflict and the other one was a lifestory/

okay, so today I learned the result from my last exam of the winter semester and it said "passed". It was my third try (Finances) and it was either now or next year so you can imagine how much my hands were shaking, trying to type the numbers on the calculator. I don't hate many things but Math has to be one of them. Seriously, I've never in my life used anything from this science that goes

Even things that people would normally consider normal kinda bother melike now, everybody's going crazy about Christmas and about getting the most beautiful tree. Isn't it one of the biggest topics of the environmentalists' articles, the lack of woods and forests? So we chop

5.12.07Just got back from our lecture no.2, this time on TV commercials and it's influence on us. This guy David Novak teaches philosophy and had an amazing horizon not only in that area. There is always space for questions afterwards but this time a whole great discussion broke out and it lasted about as long as the lecture itself! It would be long to tell you all we discussed with like 40

19.11.07As the first snow fell last week, we decided to take an advantage and hit the tracks before it's gone again. Last winter was really lame and almost with no snow so I couldn't wait.Tom, Dan and I (my two friends that we always do these things with), grabbed cross-country skis, stuck them in a car and went to the mountains for the weekend. It was just beautiful,...hard and cold but

7.11.07So last night we had our first bigger event - a lecture, to be specific. It was on Desires and the guy (Daniel Fajfr) that spoke was really good. He used to be a councelor for sport teams, now he does marriage counceling. He also touched what he believed a little so it was obvious he was a Christian. A couple of students left after he's mentioned it but I guess that happens. Next time, we

4.10.07Yeah, that's right, it was already a second one. We did our first before the summer but there was only four of us so we decided to leave for the following semester. This time though, 18 people showed up, most of them having found out just from the flyers on the notice boards - great. I told everyone why we organized this and about the idea of having a group of Christians at the university

15.9.07Wow. I just saw the posters and flyers that Marta made for our Christian meeting and they looked so cool. I was just amazed how talented she is and was very selfishly glad she was with "us":) Hopefully all the Christians at the uni will see it and come.At the Bible study at our church I met three other guys that just started sudying here and want to be part of the ministry.

13.9.07I got a number from our pastor for a guy who wants to start a ministry of some kind at the university. So Marta and I arranged a meeting with him and it was neat. He said he'd been wanting to do something for a long time but didn't know what. We've been praying for more people to join in "our" starting university group so this was totally a new cue for us. His name is Samuel and goes to a

11.9.07when the summer was over I knew I had to find a part-time job. Not that I would die of hunger if I didn't find one but just the fact that I'm still living at home made me feel a little guilty of not contributing into the budgeteven before the school started I came across this ad on teaching English in a language school.

3.9.07since I always use the bus to get around the city, I decided to walk everywhere today. It was great, I realized again you can get almost anywhere in Zlin in 15mins. It was rainy, I realized again how weird it is that the general idea of rain is bad. Why? I don't know. I thought about stuff that I wouldn't have time to think about. Try it! Wait for some rain, grab your music and go!:)

Ok, here it is, my first entry in my virtual diary. I would've never guessed I would start with a story like this. Yesterday I got back from a trip that I'll never forget. We thought we were going for a pretty hike...on the train ride home I put it down into my notebook.

the main reason for me to start a blog is not that I think it will be any more interesting than other's blogs or that I think I'm a talented writer. It is not even the fact that almost everyone has one, that has rather the opposite effect.
