Hey Everyone!

Hello there,

 I've decided to start a blog so that everyone will stay informed about my upcoming trip to Prague,Austria and Germany! I am so blessed to be able to study abroad with Gateway Community College this June. We will be staying in the NYU dorms and using their classrooms:) Our dorms are  located in the heart of Prague and I hear some of the dorm rooms even have castle views! I can't wait to go shopping in Prague, I've been told the vintage shopping is incredible in Prague. I am so excited to be taking an Art History class and a Cinema class, I am very happy that I will be able to experience such a rich culture. Here is a crazy fact,Prague is one of the only Eastern European cities that wasn't horribly damaged during Hitler's reign of power. I am also very excited to see the John Lennon wall in Prague and also I am very excited to write on it. Story is that during the Communist reign of power in Prague, people would paint on this wall with messages of peace and each night the government would paint it clear again and each morning new writing was on the wall! I will be leaving for Prague in 27 days! I will try to update as frequently as I can while in Prague:)
