And the weeks became days

It is hard to believe that this is all over!! I leave tomorrow night for Paris with my parents. These past 6 weeks have been incredible and will be memories I'll hold for the rest of my life. I think that we had a great group of students here. We all got along and were able to help each other out when we needed it the most. I think it made quite a difference. For my last blog I figured I'd list 7 things that I'm going to miss about being here.

1. The Food- I had such great food over here! I don't think I had a bad meal, except for a burger in London but that was a rookie mistake of ordering a burger there. All the food in Prague has been exceptional- this includes Gelato and the Doner Kabobs.

2. Public Transportation- I loved being able to walk and take the metro to class. Even though it took a little longer it was great not using up gas. I loved having the option of using it. I wish that Raleigh would have better transportation but it might be too late to start something like that.

3. The Beer- It’s going to be a hard adjustment going back to American beer.

4. The Buildings- They are so beautiful! There is so much history in them that just doesn’t exist in Raleigh. It’s amazing to think they were able to build these way back then with no technology!

5. The Institute- How am I expected to go back to school in Raleigh after having classes in building built hundreds of years ago?? The institute has been fabulous! It’s such a great space for NC State to have here.

6. Weekend Trips- I loved all the trips I took on the weekends. Each place was so much fun and was totally worth it. How many people can say they took a weekend trip to Switzerland or Austria?? Normally I take weekend trips to the beach. How is that going to compare?

7. Everyone Here- The group has been wonderful here. I think it made such a difference. Everyone got along great for the most part. I’ll never forget the 1^st night here where we were all talking in the Penzion like we had known each other for a long time. I really hope to stay in contact with people because they made the trip wonderful!

Its been an awesome trip!!
