Teach for America - Chicago
With every new adventure comes new experiences and a new location. The next adventure in my life is Teach for America in Chicago. I’m here in Chicago for interviews and certification tests and it’s amazing how fast my lsit of adventures has already grown.
I flew in from D.C. thanks to my mom for driving me and dropping me off at the airport. It was so nice to see her because...

Munich?!
So my first night in Munich was rather boring. It took about 5 hours from Prague with a bus and a train but it was still exciting to travel. It was actually sad to say goodbye to Prague.
As soon as I got to Munich I figured out where I needed to go and went to my hotel. My backpack was extremely heavy and thankfully I’m not carrying it around Europe. I changed my flight to this coming...
Saturday was a short day because we were so tired from Friday’s trip we slept until 2 in the afternoon! We haven’t done that since we’ve been here! Waking up was nice because Tim made us all pepperoni and blue cheese that was made in the skillet. It was good stuff.
Then we all headed out to Starbucks to get some research done. It was somewhat productive. I left early to...
Thirsty Thursday
No, its not what you’re thinking! Today was an extremely hot day for Prague and almost everyone was dehydrated throughout the entire day. Today was the transit strike so everyone was walking or riding bikes. There were still some trams running but it was an extremely hot day for a transit strike.

Willy Wonka Beer Factory!
Friday morning had almost an hour commute to the bus station, then another hour long bus ride. However, I finally saw the Big Bang Theory tv show in English with Czech subtitles. I found it funny that I finally saw the show in the Czech Republic. I guess I should watch more television at home then.
As soon as we got into the small town of Plzen, we had interesting walks to Old and New...
Home Sick Wednesday
There are 9 days left in the program and then I have another 2 weeks until I can go home. Today and yesterday have been some of the roughest days since I’ve been in Prague.
Today was a pretty good day for the most part. Jim’s class was held atop the hill with a giant metronome which stands where a 50 foot statue of Stalin once stood. It was very symbolic to have class there and very...
American Monday
I woke up today and read my article on the Euro for European Integration. It was great only having on class today. The class also went by extremely quickly because we talked about our pexperiences in Poland and considering we visited and saw so much in a short amount of time, we had a decent discussion. After class I was really hungry so I decided to go to one of the thousands of KFCs in the...

Ikea!
Before I forget and before I pass out I have to write about my day at Ikea…but in Prague!
Today was one of the first days that I woke up after 12 and actually woke up at 1:30. I didn’t stay up too late, it just felt great sleeping in. I actually cleaned my sheets and took a long shower before I went to bed last night so I felt super clean and it was so nice to be in a clean bed for...
Long Tuesday
I have Art and Architecture from 9 a.m. to noon which is always hard to wake up at 8 am during the summer but the class makes up for it. We have an amazing professor who is extremely knowledgeable about art and architecture in Prague as well as knowing facts about America and the world. He is also an opera singer for a local company (or whatever it’s called). He is a little dis-shelved...
