Chris Hogan, July 28, 2011, Last day before graduation

Today most of us caught up on some sleep and studying in the morning. We are preparing for our final exams and graduation tomorrow. In particular we are preparing for oral exams with our professors; something that is unusual to many of us.

After a hard day's work we went out to dinner. It was a dinner for the OSU students as well as several CZU faculty members. After dinner many of us headed to a football (soccer) match. It was a great opportunity to see what sports are like in the Czech Republic as well as the European sports atmosphere as a whole. We saw the Prague's Sparta take on Sarajevo. Sparta killed Sarajevo 5-0. It was an exciting game. We were all in agreement that the fans there were much rowdier than we are used to. Their celebrations included flares and fireworks thrown onto the field. Needless to say it was an exciting experience.

Many of us are sad that the program is drawing to a close. Simultaneously many of us are ready to head back to the United States. Most of us are leaving on Saturday and Sunday and a couple of us are continuing are European adventure for a little longer. It was a great experience and we are happy to graduate.

Until next time, Na shledanou
