School Day

Today we went to class and discussed Czech literature. It was very interesting to see how these pieces of literature are very present in our country based off of how many people in our study abroad program have read the literature. This was a very interesting part of our day. However, the most interesting part of the day was lunch time. During lunch we had been served a beef stew with rice instead of potatoes! This is interesting because we literally get served some form of meat and potatoes every day. I am glad they had switched it up for us. The dining hall is always taking care of us.

After lunch we had one more class on Czech history and we were free for the day. When we had gotten out of class, some of us went shopping at the nearest mall which Is called the “Palladium” this mall has 200+ stores as well as 5 stories. The Palladium is truly an experience. While this was happening others napped until dinner. The dinner menu for tonight was Greek! The gyros were amazing and fries were even better when feta cheese is sprinkled on them. This was the farthest restaurant we have traveled to by public transport but it was all worth the food and company.

(This is the Metro station that we get off at to get to our dorm and where we started to ride for the Greek Restaurant)

FRIDAY

Ahoj! Usually the mornings are pretty routine but today we woke up to a nice and healthy breakfast around 7:30 AM and had eggs with toast. (Usually the cooks serve some sort of bread with jam, cheese, Nutella, or honey spread.)So it was nice to try something different going into our last classes before the weekend. As we we made the walk to class, we conversed and tried to wake up a little bit. The mornings here are beautiful. While in class we learned about sustainability development and its three defining pillars; the economic, the social and the environmental pillars. Throughout these classes we compared several factors within these pillars to other countries around the world. As 12:30 PM rolled around we packed up and ate our lunch at the campus restaurant.
Since it is the weekend, about half of the students are traveling to Austria and Germany for the weekend while the other half are staying in Prague to enjoy the stay. The agenda for tonight is to eat Italian food and we are meeting up at 5:00 PM! After this the plans are up in the air for what is happening. Some will go home and relax while some will hit the pub.
