It's been a dreary sort of week. Either the weather has matched my mood, or my mood has matched the weather. It can be difficult to discern the difference in the UK. That being said, I am grateful that it hasn't been unbearably hot here like it has been in most other parts of the world. My goal for this week was to write the last essay. 4,000 words. The longest one yet. It took the longest to write too. But by Friday around 11am, it was completed! I moved around a lot this week to try to keep from being bored (Armitage Room, Queens' Library, Queens' Secret Spot, Judge Library, and Law Library), but my favourite spot to work was at the Law Library. I loooove all the natural light. As quiet as it is in Cambridge right now (beyond the hoards of tourists), a few of us MBAs found excuses to get together and have some fun.  On Monday, Jasreen and I went to St. John's to watch Much Ado About Nothing. We were laughing excessively - the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival is wort

I'm laughing as I start to type this. This week has been a rollercoaster. We made it to Prague late on Sunday night. Got into our Airbnb, and immediately started sweating. It was an actual furnace. Rebecca says I immediately shut down, but I was just blogging. We made the big kid decision to book a hotel room around the corner and moved accommodation that night.  It was a wise decision. We woke up well-rested on Monday, ready to explore Prague. We started with the Astronomical Clock. Very cool. Poor guy lost his eyes for his brilliance though. After a quick lunch break, we walked across the Charles Bridge to Prague Castle. We toured around there all afternoon. As we were making our way back towards the other side of town. I slipped on a littered pamphlet and hurt my ankle. This is why we don't litter! We stopped at the library to see a really cool art installation and then went to a pharmacy for an ankle wrap.

We’ve spent the last 9 days in Berlin. One of the options for the summer term was a week-long intensive on international business. I signed up for this back in November, and it seemed like a no-brainer. It ended up being a worthwhile week as we had the opportunity to explore Berlin and learn more about the German economy first-hand.   Rebecca and I ended up being on the same flight as Shamiso and Jenny from the program team on the way over to Berlin - so fun to run into them at the airport! After we landed and got settled at the hotel, we decided to explore Berlin and ended up walking in the middle of a ‘Music is the Answer’ parade. After that, we went on a hunt for döner. A favorite for me since I first tried one in Munich in 2015 #eurWHOOPe.   Sunday was the hottest day in Berlin in recorded history, I believe, so naturally, Rebecca, Cass, and I decided to go on a three-hour walking tour of the city. Why not? Our tour guide was a master's student from America and brought some fun
