Prague Conclusion
My internship in Prague has come to a close, and it is an experience that has fundamentally reshaped my perspective—personally, academically, and professionally.

First Week of Work in Prague!
I’ve been in Prague for 11 days as I write this and have been working for 4 days. This week, I went to the gym a few times with people on my floor. The gym is free for students, which came in clutch for us since the local gyms were very expensive. As I’ve continued…
Week 1 in Prague
Hey everyone! I’ve been in Prague for a week now, and I’ve loved my time here so far. The city is one of the coolest and most interesting cities I’ve ever been to.
