My last day in Lille
When I was moving to France, five months of exchange seemed to me incredibly long. How can I survive almost half of the year in a really small city with raining every day without my family and closest friends? After, everything happened so fast like if it was just one...

Back to normal life
I am already on my way home so I am going to write about my feelings. In May I did not really know the exact day of my return. If I chose only intensive classes I could even be in the Czech Republic on May 1st. In fact, I chose four extensive classes so my exam period...

Home

Hard times of studying
After enjoying a whole semester hard times came (haha). I almost forgot how horrible it is to study! It is just awful. I did not realize how much time I have to devote studying for my state exams. It is endless and boring. The thing is that I did not manage to study...

Healthy morning with my mother
Today we were supposed to have a healthy relaxing day with my mum. When I was in France, my mum managed to lose a lot of weight. I was wondering how she managed to do it. We are still not sure because she started to go to Vacutherm, eat healthier and go for a lymph...

How to survive state exams
So I already spent few days with really boring program: getting up, breakfast, studying, lunch, studying, running, dinner, studying, sleeping. And again. And again. That´s why I had a lot of time to think about my strategy how to survive and study efficiently at the...

Pizza festival
We were talking about Pizza Festival with Romca since the end of May because we wanted to have some reward for our state exams. Therefore, every time when we were complaining about studying we just said: "But when we are done with our exams we will enjoy sunny day in...

Girly day

Finding a job
I never realized how difficult it is to find a job. Before leaving the Czech Republic I had an awesome job. I was working as a waitress in the Spanish restaurant La Casa Blu. You can think that it is nothing special but I loved it. It was a coincidence I got there. Once...

Henna
Today I tried Vacutherm for the second time! It was not horrible at all. Therefore, I decided to buy a membership! Hopefully I will go there at least once per week. It is all about habit. I just needed to get used to the heat and I already knew what to expect. Today it...

Barbecue and Photo Session
Photoshooting Once my mum decided to become a professional photographer. The main reason was probably that she did not have a job at that time and she wanted to change her life. She always loved creative activities, drawing, graphic design and so on. Therefore, it did...

Lago di Garda
During our trip time went so fast. It was already the fourth day of our trip. We were living in Arco and we still did not have time to go for a one day trip or to spend a whole day on the beach. We wanted to do a lot of things. As we took our roller skates from the...

Last day in Italy
Friday was our last day in Italy because next day we were supposed to travel by car whole day. Sometimes it is difficult to agree what to do together even if you are only four people. We wanted to climb the mountain and go swimming at the same time. We took everything...
