Apartment Pictures

Here are some of the pictures of our apartment. Hopefully we'll be able to make it more homey after we're able to get completely unpacked and get some decorations on the walls. But at least the walls aren't white, but some fun colors!




























Ahoj from Praha

So I am now officially in Prague! There weren't any delays with the airplanes, and I got lucky too on the long flight from Atlanta to Frankfurt because I had an aisle seat and then two empty seats between me and the man in the other aisle seat. I got to stretch out! It still wasn't very comfortable, but it was better since I could stretch out my legs. We arrived safely in Frankfurt and then I met some of the kids in my program, even one of my roommates, Sarah. So I hung out with them during the layover then we got on the plane to Prague!

We landed around 1 then proceeded to go through and get our bags without any problems. The CEA people met us at baggage claim and then we left. We didn't even go through customs! I was really surprised at that. I wanted the Prague stamp!

Finally around 2:30pm we got to our flat and it is really big and roomy but there seems to be a lack of closet space. 10 girls and what seems like 6 closets doesn't really add up. But we'll work around it somehow.

After getting settled we all went to dinner at a little Italian place. It was really good, and then we went out to get to know our side of the town a little better. My roommates seem fantastic and it doesn't look as if we'll have any drama so far. We all seem easygoing, so it looks like it's going to be a great trip! All in all, it was a great first night! I have pictures of the room which I will try to get posted soon, but for now... Ciao!

Less than 24 hours

So tomorrow I leave for Prague! My plane leaves at 6:10 eastern so that means about 20 hours until launch. As a lot of you know, I plan to keep up this blog as a way to let you know how I am doing and what all is going on and for you to see a sample of some of my pictures. Hopefully this is not too ambitious and I will be able to update regularly. If not, I apologize, just be patient with me as I get used to things and become busier, but I will try to update as much as possible! I will miss you all!
