This is the question I find myself facing every single time I look at this empty page, waiting for me to fill it up. Of course, it wasn&#8217;t always 4 months. I thought to do this way sooner; at the very beginning of my semester abroad.* As time drew on and as I did things and went places and met people, I found my days filled more and more and more with things to do and things I&#8217;ve done, and my struggle intensified. How do you compress the events of a week in Prague into one blog post? What about a month, or two months? This is the problem I&#8217;m facing now. Therefore, instead of going into details today, I&#8217;ll make a bullet-point list of what I&#8217;ve done so far; I may or may not expand on it further later on. Without further ado then, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done so far, in no particular order! Thus far, I have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>figured out the metro and public transportation system<\/li>\n<li>figured out the grocery store<\/li>\n<li>broken down crying multiple times because of an inability to figure things out**<\/li>\n<li>went on trips with my program (Moravia, London, and a few day trips)<\/li>\n<li>went on trips by myself (London again because I missed things)<\/li>\n<li>went on trips with a friend (Paris!)<\/li>\n<li>moved dorm rooms<\/li>\n<li>passed my intensive Czech class (though I still know nothing)<\/li>\n<li>saw snow!!!!!<\/li>\n<li>went on a 17 hour bus trip (note to self: NEVER AGAIN)<\/li>\n<li>found some awesome restaurants<\/li>\n<li>turned 21<\/li>\n<li>figured out how to use a hotplate to make a decent meal***<\/li>\n<li>went to class<\/li>\n<li>took some awesome pictures!!!!<\/li>\n<li>and a bunch of other things!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is not enough space to detail everything, but these are the most important things I&#8217;ve done so far. I&#8217;ll elaborate more later when I have time; but until then, nashle!<\/p>\n<p>*Dobry den from Prague, by the way!<\/p>\n<p>** this was at the beginning; I&#8217;m told that this is a symptom of culture shock and that stage has since passed.<\/p>\n<p>*** this is relative though; most of my meals involve rice and i am so so tired of it now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":497,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/497"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3177"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3178,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3177\/revisions\/3178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
