Prague!

Well, unfortunately for Meredith and me, I did some researching about volunteering in Haiti and if you have no prior experience with volunteering (such as, Habitat for Humanity) they recommend NOT going. So, I guess we can’t physically help the Haitians, but I will definitely be donating more to the cause…and you should too!

I second Meredith’s recommendation for the melting pot! It’s quite delicious and well worth the calories.

Anyways, this week is whatever we want so I’m writing about Prague! I am in the process of applying for a study abroad program in Prague. I have everything in but my essay…I am having some serious mental blockage and can’t seem to get my words down on paper. I will hopefully snap out of it this weekend and have it all in by Monday. The deadline in March 1st, but it’s rolling admission so it’s good to get it in quick. The program is such a great opportunity. It consists of 4 weeks in class at Charles University in Prague. Then, you get 5 weeks of personal travel time…you can literally do whatever you want. So, my friend who is also applying has a bunch of family in Germany so we may stay there for a bit. I also have friends in England so I’ll probably make my way over there. AND the best part of all…I will hopefully get to stay with my brother in Thailand!! This will most likely be my only chance to see him while he serves his 2 years in the Peace Corps. So, you are probably wondering, how does this relate to SHM? If it weren’t for Christine’s recommendation, I wouldn’t have been able to complete the application! Thanks Christine :)

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Come to Mikey’s tonight to support the Tri team!! Drink specials and half off appetizers! You know you want to…
