Prague!

I'm almost done with my stay at Prague! London was AMAZING and the whole group had a lot of fun doing all the touristy stuff. The exchange rate with the pound is horrible though so I'm glad I'm in the Czech Republic now. We've been walking around everywhere and my feet and hands are all scratched up, but the sights have been worth it! It's amazing to see such different cultures and lifestyles. I'm really excited to finally settle down in France though. Living out of a suitcase has been rough! We are heading to Amsterdam tomorrow and then Belgium to get some waffles! Here are some pics from London:

Au revoir!

I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow!! Haha honestly I'm a bit tired already from packing and buying things I'll need, but I know it'll be worth it in the end! We finally figured out the hostels for London, Prague, and Amsterdam. I think we're just going to wing Brussels haha. I think I'm going to bring my laptop with me, so I hope to update this thing with pictures!

By the way, I saw Narnia: Prince Caspian this past weekend and it was awesome!

this is home

My Spanish exam was quite easy so I'm pleased to end the semester on a good note. Even though that class was a pain with all the busy work, I loved my teacher and the friends I've made in that class. In the end, I think it was worth taking. :)

So STA Travel didn't really help us with our traveling issues haha. We're basically going to sit down today and just buy tickets to places and hopefully it'll all work out once we're there. If not, well let's not talk about that. ;)

I'm planning to head back up to Dallas on Saturday so I can spend time with my family for Mother's Day. Speaking of which, I think I'm going to cook breakfast for my mom. I don't have a lot of experience with cooking so this should turn out interesting.

I really don't want to leave Austin though. I feel like there isn't much to do once I'm back home since everyone is still here. Maybe I'll make a road trip next weekend for graduations...?

Well this is my last official post for the school year! If you've been dropping by and reading, I greatly appreciate it! It's been a fun and quick year, and I can't believe I'm a junior now!! If you're still interested in reading my posts in the summer, bookmark my page (it'll be taken off McCombs' site soon) and I'll try to keep yall updated with my experiences in Europe! If not, I'll be back next semester blogging so have a great summer and stay productive :P.

I'll leave you with Switchfoot -This is Home. They made this song for the new Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian movie. I can't wait for it!

totally relaxed

I'm not going to lie. It's been awesome not worrying about exams this past weekend. I don't think I'm even going to start studying for Spanish until Tuesday. :)

So tomorrow, a couple of friends (from CIBER) and I are going to STA Travel on the drag. We figured they'd be the best help in figuring out our hectic schedule. I'm crossing my fingers that we'll be buying plane/train tickets tomorrow.

Last week, the BBA Career Services gave the student workers a luncheon and it was awesome. Free catered food plus dancing career advisors: priceless. Everyone tried to make Melissa do the Soulja Boy dance but she wouldn't give in to the temptation :P.

But just for you Melissa, I happen to have a video of my friends and me doing the soulja boy at a camping trip earlier this year. Hope you're reading this. :P



PS. ABSA is hosting "Feed Your Mind" Monday and Tuesday night at 10PM in the atrium! They are giving out a lot of free food and goodies for exams. So if you're on campus studying, go grab some food!!
