April 6th, 2011

Hey everyone! This is going to be my official blog that I'll hopefully keep up daily or every other day while in Prague. We have four more days until the real trip has started so more will come soon! For now though I'll explain a bit about the trip...

The Prague abroad as announced last year in the Fall I believe. Since it was announced, I had my eye on the trip. We all applied this past Fall during and started the interview process until we found out who made it on the abroad on Friday of week six. Twenty-one students, two professors, and one RC. Out of the twenty-one students, there are seventeen girls, and four guys. We will be in the Czech Republic for a total of eight weeks starting in April. The first five weeks of the trip, we will be right in the city of Prague staying in hostel apartments (so we have our own kitchen to cook :) )right next to St. Vitus Cathedral on one side, with a dance club on the other side, and the US Embassy behind us. We will be taking the tram every morning to our rented studio where we will take art classes from Paul Ryan, and creative writing from Dinah Ryan. During that time we will take several day trips to museums, castles, cathedrals, etc. The last three weeks of the trip will we go to smaller cities in the Czech Republic to get more perspectives of the country. I'm looking forward to exploring the city, learning more about its history, and enjoying the many cafes that line the city. More to come soon!
