Had a great weekend in SF with Nici and Mike.  I got a lot of things on my list that I want/need before I go abroad.  New digital camera, a backpacking backpack and a new purse that has a compartment for my laptop!  Now all I need is a couple converters and I think that I'll be finished purchasing supplies.  

Some other great news....got a bit of a refund on my flight to Prague!  Sure it wasn't a refund of the entire ticket, but I'm getting money back into my account, so I couldn't be happier!  I also received an email from the Asia Program Manager at my online school, which contained a ton of information.  Basically they are helping us secure a job before we go and advising us of what we have to get together in order to get the work visa situation completed.  She advised that it could take anywhere between 30-60 before we leave.  Which is exciting because it gives me some more time here with friends and family!
