Hello Tyler,

and so sorry for such delayed reply, the last week was more hectic for me than I'd like it to be – university,
part-time work, my sister breaking her arm, uh!

Anyway, I've been looking at the plane tickets in the last couple of days and it looks like from the monetary
standpoint, it doesn't really make a difference when will I arrive, so I'd prefer to leave Czech Republic on
May 23 or May 24 at the latest (it very much depends on the real date of my state examination, for now I know
that it's either happening on May 22 or May 23, but I'm not sure which day is it yet – I'll try to find out
ASAP!) and if I'm counting the timezone difference correctly, I should arrive in the US on the same day as I
leave Czech Republic. Yey!

So in other words, yes, I'd be most assuredly interested in taking most (or all, provided I am able to arrive
on May 23) of the shifts you mentioned in your e-mail, even if it's quite soon after my arrival. To be honest,
I'll manage somehow, plus it's few more hours of work, therefore some extra money, right? And to be even more
honest, while experiencing US culture during the summer is still obviously both mine and Iveta's main reason
to even go to the US this summer, I have to admit that the money plays a slightly more important role for us
this year than it did during the last summer in Texas – I mean, we're both nearing the end of our university
studies and if all goes well (should I knock on the wood now?), we'd like to hopefully buy a flat together
once we come back – a task that's apparently more difficult than it seems to be seeing as neither of our
families can really “kickstart” us. Ugh, I'm sidetracking again, sorry!

What I meant to say (long story short now, I promise) is that yes, I'd be glad to work these shifts (and
furthermore, feel free to throw at us any shifts that other lifeguards are not willing to work) and I'll try
to let you know my arrival date as soon as possible.
