Settling In?

I've had 1 week of classes at The Language House, and then 1 week of making arrangements so we can stay.  I had 2 job interviews last week, one in person for EDUA, and one online for TAL in China.
Sad to say, the wifi here is too slow for me to teach VIPKids, so I have to wait until we move to our more permanent apartment.  At the EDUA interview (to teach small groups of adults part time), I mentioned we would consider moving to Brno to live.  It is smaller than Prague, with fewer tourists, and supposedly just as lovely.  But it is over 3 hours away, so our guests would want to find a place to stay in Prague for part of the visit.  We could rent an AirBnB and stay with them, to show them around.  Or we could just stay here in Prague, move more to the outskirts, and I would commute in to work.  EDUA will get back to me this coming week.
Here is the church in front of the EDUA school building:

After my interview I took a tram across the river to a very touristy area to see the Vrtba Gardens.  It was hard to find!!! I found the tower of St. Nicholas Church, but am waiting for Bart to see it with me.  Here are pictures of me and Vrtba Garden, still in my purple interview outfit.  

Bart arrives tomorrow.  I can't wait to have him here to go on adventures with me.  I'm lonely.  My classmates are great, but very busy still taking their classes.  There is a Marathon in downtown Prague today, and if Bart had been here I would have gone.  But I didn't want to deal with the train and big crowds all on my own today.  I still might go to the local soccer game tonight at 5.  It's just down the hill on Husinecka street by the tram stop I use.  Last week the game there was very loud and sounded like fun.  I live in a neighborhood called Prague 3, or Zizkov.  The local team is playing, and they are in the 2nd level of national teams.  Their season ends this month.  I wonder how early I have to arrive to get a seat.  Or maybe it is sold out.
Yesterday I went to the Vinohrady Farmer's Market.  It's only a half mile away, but all uphill.  I took the 135 bus and then the green line train to get there, and then walked home afterward, all downhill.  Vinohrady has a lot of expats, and is an expensive but beautiful place to live.  I found an apartment for rent just beyond it, in the next neighborhood out, that looks very promising.  But I won't make a decision until I have a job.  I need to send out more resumes.

Friday night students from the March TLH class invited our April class to meet up at 6 pm at Letna Beer Garden.  I met some new people, and saw several of my classmates.  One asked where I had been this week, and I explained that I just did a 1 week refresher course, but am invited to sit in on other lectures, and may come in this next week.  Letna was very nice, and I definitely want to go again with Bart.
I have an app called Moovit that helps me figure out how to use public transport to get around, and it sent me to a stop on my side of the Vltava river, and then walk across a bridge and up a big, big hill to get to Letna.  To get home, I asked Nolan from the March group if there was a better stop I could catch the tram from to get home.  He sent me in the opposite direction, and I found a #26 tram right by a huge arena where a soccer (I'm going to start saying football, fyi) match was going on.  The crowd sounded like a monster, swelling up to roar all together.  I'd love to go see a match there, too, but not on my own.  I've heard these European football matches can have very rowdy fans, and it might be dangerous.  Czechs love their football, and hockey too.  Personally, I want to see tennis and bike racing.  Like the Tour de France.
My left hip and knee have been wonky, and I'm walking in pain most of the time.  But I take Aleve, and try to get in 10,000 steps a day.  Just save me from the hills!  Today I'm heading out to a peaceful, nature-filled cemetery where Franz Kafka is buried.  Someone from the March TLH course lives near there, and says it is a lovely place to go for a walk.
I'm working on my bullet journal of Czech places, and adding lists of museums, castles, towers, cemeteries, etc. that I want to see.  How awesome is it to have enough time in a city to see more than the top 5-10 attractions?  I watched a YouTube video last night on top places in the Czech Republic to see, and several are out near Brno.  That sounds hopeful.  I've also been watching more videos of reincarnation, a special interest of mine.
Two Sundays I went to mass, in Czech.  Last Sunday I watched Tim VanHeest's sermon videotaped on Facebook from the Thompson's Lake Church.  I don't really want to go back to mass without a missal showing the Czech words, so I can follow along.  I wanted to go to the Infant of Prague church today at noon, where the mass is in English, but because of the Marathon, there is no public transport downtown.  I looked for a Dutch Reformed church here, but no luck.  I could go to Church of England, Baptist, or Lutheran and hear a service in English.  Maybe next week, with Bart.
