I suppose I would like to start off by explaining why I have created this blog. First, as a result of acquiring scholarships for this study abroad program I must, in some creative method, produce a "project" and give a report about my ventures in Prague. Second, friends and family have asked to be kept in the loop and so this is quite a convenient way to do so seeing as I cannot use my phone while abroad. Thirdly, and for my own selfish reasons, I will not have to update everyone I know about how my trip went and consequently dread the polite and expected question of, "So how was your trip!?" These three reasons make up the foundation of why I chose this medium.
Furthermore, I would like to ask all of you to bear with me throughout the writing and execution my "Prague Blog." Although I am an English major and that consists of my producing many papers, I am not particularly gifted in writing. I am also not the best with grammar. I have survived my major only through hours of hard work and much appreciated editors. However, I will try my best to generate something readable.
Lastly, I feel it necessary to give credit where credit is due in relation to the title of my blog. The name was thought of by Mr. Saar and so I would like to publicly acknowledge him for doing so. Thank you Mr. Saar! Also, thank you to Katie Eckhardt for finding the incredible picture of Prague that is posted here.
I hope you all enjoy!
