It is crazy to think I have spent the last two and a half months in Prague!  I have loved every second and more importantly I have grown from it.  I feel like the common reaction to trips like this is “that went so fast!” but I really feel like this was the perfect length…

It has been an interesting week at work.  For the first eight weeks or so of my internship I was given lots of varying projects with interesting work.  in the last week, the work that I have been doing has definitely been coming to a close.  At first I was confused at why I wasn’t…
