Day 12

I'm sure this was an important date in history. I just can't find it in my head. I believe it was near the end of the war in the Pacific theater. Yes, I think it was the date the atom bomb codenamed Little Boy was dropped on Japan. I will laugh if my dates are wrong, if and when I reflect on my journal. I often think of the fictional character Aaron Jastrow in the Herman Wolks novel War and Remembrance. Aaron wrote a detailed journal of his struggles in Eastern Europe and I am keeping a journal as his character had. I hope someone will take the time to read my journal someday.

My friend Josef (one of the men that met me at the airport in Prague) came by last night. It was good to see him again. I don't see or do much anymore. My day is pretty boring: Class, study, eat, sleep, shop for supplies and food. I feel like I have not relaxed since I arrived.

I am starting to feel a tension between all of us (Lauree, Trent and myself). I don't like it, but you either grow fonder or despise your companions in about three weeks. We are at week two.
