Happy Monday, Readers! I hope you all enjoyed your Spring Break and feel relaxed and rejuvenated as we enter this last sprint before the school year ends. As a senior, it felt like this Spring Break was needed more than ever before. Here’s a little glimpse into what I did! For my break, I headed down to sunny Florida with my family. It was so nice to be able to spend one final break with them before my sister and I graduate.

I talked about Prague a few blogs ago, but I have not mentioned my hometown and the city I was born. There is a lot of things to talk about, so I will probably write two or three more posts about it because my town in many ways is really a pearl in a sea. Liberec or as many people know the city as Reichenberg in German, is a city located on the North of the Czech Republic, only 30 minutes from German and Polish border.

Unfortunately, I was not be able to able to attend, so I will talk about what Czech cuisine looks like. All my not-Czech friends who tried Czech cuisine, they either really liked it or do not eat at all. The meal is usually very heavy and includes a meat and some type of sauce.

The first class I am taking this semester is Russian II. As you know, Hope College is a liberal arts school, so you will have to take a second or for some people, a third or fourth language. It does not have to be a Russian. You can take Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and German as well. But as you might guess Spanish is the most popular one because most U.S. students take Spanish in high school.

My second class is Spanish V class because Spanish is my minor. Interestingly enough, Spanish V is my first Spanish class at Hope, but I did study abroad in Chile for a semester. In Spanish V we basically go over all tenses, subjunctives and conditionals, so by then we should theoretically have no more grammar to learn. If you are interested in Spanish minor, then you need 16 credits, but it starts to count with Spanish V.

Wherever you travel, whether it be a new town, a new state, or a new country, there are going to be everyday things that are quite different from where you’re from. Here are a few of the many differences between my home and Rome. Crossing the Street. While there are traffic signals at major intersections, they’re not everywhere. When they aren’t present in Rome, you don’t just stand on the corner waiting for a break in traffic.

On February 7, a lecture by a former Hope College student took place in the in Mass about the Immigration Law and current political situation regarding immigrants. The lecture was divided into three sections, Immigration Law , Refugee and Asylum Law , and How do we protect refugees? I found the first part the most fascinating and interesting to me.
